The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
obsidian_list_notesList notes in the Obsidian vault with pagination support. Returns a list of note paths, names, tags, and modification dates. Use 'folder' to filter to a specific directory. Use 'offset' and 'limit' for pagination on large vaults. Returns JSON by default with schema: { "total": number, "count":…
obsidian_read_noteRead the full content of a specific note by path. The path can be with or without .md extension. Set include_frontmatter=false to get only the markdown content. Returns: { "path": string, "name": string, "content": string, "frontmatter"?: object, "tags": string[], "modified": string }
obsidian_write_noteCreate or update a note in the vault. Provide markdown content and optionally YAML frontmatter. Directories are created automatically if they don't exist. Set overwrite=false to prevent overwriting existing notes. Returns the created/updated note metadata.
obsidian_delete_notePermanently delete a note from the vault. WARNING: This action cannot be undone. The note file will be removed from the filesystem.
obsidian_search_notesSearch notes by content, title, tags, or folder. - 'query': Full-text search in content and titles - 'tags': Filter to notes with any of these tags - 'folder': Filter to notes in a specific folder - 'include_content': Include full content in results (default: false) Returns ranked results with mat…
obsidian_vault_statsGet statistics about the Obsidian vault. Returns: { "totalNotes": number, "totalSize": number (bytes), "totalTags": number, "lastModified": string (ISO date) }
obsidian_get_linksGet outgoing links from a specific note. Extracts both wiki-style [[links]] and markdown [links](path.md). Shows whether each linked note exists in the vault. Returns: { "note": string, "links": [{ "path": string, "displayText"?: string, "exists": boolean }] }
obsidian_get_backlinksGet backlinks to a specific note (notes that link TO this note). Useful for understanding how notes are connected and finding related content. Returns: { "note": string, "backlinks": [{ "path": string }] }
obsidian_list_tagsList all tags used in the vault with their usage counts. Tags are extracted from both YAML frontmatter and inline #tags. Results are sorted by frequency (most used first). Returns: { "total": number, "tags": [{ "tag": string, "count": number }] }
obsidian_get_tagged_notesGet all notes that have a specific tag. The tag can be provided with or without the # prefix. Returns: { "tag": string, "total": number, "notes": [{ "path": string, "name": string, "tags": string[] }] }
