What it does

Obsidian — read, search, create, append, and delete notes in a local Obsidian vault, full-text search, find by #tag, get backlinks (incoming wikilinks) and outlinks (with broken-link detection), browse the local note neighborhood within N hops, plus access active note / daily note when the Local REST API plugin is installed. Direct filesystem access by default — auto-detects most-recent vault. Use when the user mentions Obsidian, vault, .md note, wikilink, daily note, second brain, Zettelkasten, or wants to read / write / link their personal Markdown knowledge base.

The Obsidian skill is one of 75+ pre-wired Syncore integrations that any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and ChatGPT desktop — can call out of the box. You don't configure MCP servers or copy API keys into a JSON file; the Syncore daemon discovers the skill at startup and exposes its tools to whichever AI client is running.

Sample prompts

Once Syncore is installed and Obsidian is connected, ask your agent something like:

• “List files from Obsidian.”
• “Read note from Obsidian.”
• “Create note from Obsidian.”

Tools available (12)

• obsidian__list_files

  List files and folders in the vault. Omit path for vault root.

• obsidian__read_note

  Read the contents of a note by vault-relative path

• obsidian__create_note

  Create a new note or overwrite an existing one at the given vault path. Do not repeat the filename as an H1 (`# Title`) in content — Obsidian renders the filename as the page title and a matching H1 shows the title twice. Start the body with H2 (`##`) or plain text.

• obsidian__append_to_note

  Append markdown to the end of an existing note. Do not start the appended block with an H1 that matches the note's filename — Obsidian already displays the filename as the page title.

• obsidian__delete_note

  Delete a note from the vault

• obsidian__search

  Full-text search across the vault

• obsidian__get_active_note

  Get the note that is currently active/focused in Obsidian. Requires Local REST API plugin; Obsidian must be running.

• obsidian__get_daily_note

  Get today's daily note (or another period). Requires Local REST API plugin + Periodic Notes plugin; Obsidian must be running.

• obsidian__get_backlinks

  List notes that link to the given note (incoming wikilinks/markdown links). Uses a disk-cached graph index that auto-refreshes when vault files change.

• obsidian__get_outlinks

  List notes that this note links to, plus any unresolved (broken) link targets.

• obsidian__find_by_tag

  Find all notes tagged with a given #tag (case-insensitive; pass the name with or without the leading '#').

• obsidian__get_neighborhood

  Notes within N link-hops (outgoing OR incoming) of the given note. Great for pulling the local graph around a topic.
