Kika Obsidian MCP

Local-first MCP server for working with an Obsidian vault.

• No Obsidian plugin required
• No API key required
• No cloud service required
• No Obsidian running in the background

This is for people who want MCP clients to work directly with markdown files on disk.

Independent open-source project. Not affiliated with Obsidian, Anthropic, OpenAI, or any MCP client.

What it does

It lets MCP clients work with your vault to:

• read and search notes
• create and update notes
• create and edit Obsidian Bases (.base files) with schema validation
• generate summaries, status reports, and release notes
• automate local knowledge workflows

All directly against your local markdown files.

Best for

• Anyone using an MCP client — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Codex, Grok — who wants safe local access to an Obsidian vault
• Developers who prefer filesystem-based Obsidian automation over the Local REST API plugin
• People who want to create and edit Obsidian Bases (.base) from an agent
• Personal knowledge bases, project logs, daily notes, task notes, and markdown-first workflows
