mcp-obsidian

Connects AI assistants to Obsidian vaults via the Local REST API to search notes, retrieve content, and perform semantic searches. It features self-healing multi-URL connectivity and supports both stdio and HTTP transports for flexible deployment.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 14 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.

You'll be asked for 4 credentials: API_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN, MCP_HTTP_TOKEN, TEST_TOKEN
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

3/3 tools missing one or more hints — get_note_content (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); obsidian_search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); obsidian_semantic_search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 0/3 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (0%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

Shell command execution

6 child_process calls — runs shell commands

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

No arbitrary install scripts

Has postinstall/preinstall script — runs arbitrary code on npm install

Remove postinstall/preinstall hooks unless they’re essential.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 14 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.2 (high), axios@1.13.2 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dependency freshness

3/12 production deps abandoned (no release in 2+ years): find-config@2022-06-18 (4y), axios-debug-log@2022-11-15 (3.6y), json5@2023-03-04 (3.3y)

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
