## Description

A Ruby-based MCP server that provides read-only access to Obsidian vaults, enabling AI assistants to search, browse, and analyze personal knowledge bases stored as Markdown files. Built using the fast-mcp gem, it offers four core tools for listing notes, reading specific notes, searching by content/tags, and finding notes by tag combinations, plus two resources for vault statistics and tag clouds. The server automatically parses frontmatter, extracts internal/external links, and provides flexible search capabilities with configurable content inclusion, making it valuable for knowledge management workflows, research assistance, and content discovery within personal note collections.
