This MCP Server enables Claude Code to connect directly to your Obsidian vault for organized planning using GTD and PARA methods. It provides daily notes, inbox management, tasks, projects, weekly reviews, and full-text search within your vault, helping you plan, review, and act with clarity.

How to use

You run the MCP server locally and connect your MCP client (such as Claude Code) to your Obsidian vault. From there you can generate and manage daily notes, capture items into an inbox, create and track tasks and projects, generate weekly reviews, and search across your vault with context. The server uses a clean architecture to separate domain logic from data access, ensuring you can extend or customize it while keeping a solid flow for planning work.

How to install

Follow these steps to set up the MCP server on your machine.

Additional sections

Prerequisites include Node.js version 18 or newer. You will also need an Obsidian vault with the expected folder structure to organize your daily notes, inbox, areas, and projects.

Environment, transport, and structure

The server reads configuration from environment variables and supports stdio transport for local runs and SSE for web clients. It operates on a Vault structure that includes folders such as Daily notes, Inbox, Areas, Projects, and Archive, with templates used to generate consistent notes.
