# Obsidian Vault

> Use this tool when you need to manage and organize your Obsidian knowledge base, as it solves problems related to file management, backlink preservation, and content restructuring. It provides inputs through direct filesystem access and the Local REST API plugin, and outputs include preserved backlinks, extracted markdown heading structures, and generated unambiguous heading references. Use it in contexts where you require advanced file management capabilities to complement existing Obsidian tools, such as mcp-obsidian, for efficient knowledge base organization and content workflows.

## Description

An MCP server for interacting with Obsidian vaults that bridges knowledge management systems through both direct filesystem access and the Local REST API plugin. Created by phate45, it provides tools for moving/renaming files while preserving backlinks, extracting markdown heading structures for quick file navigation, and generating unambiguous heading references with full parent chains. The implementation requires a custom fork of the Local REST API plugin for move functionality and is designed to complement mcp-obsidian by filling gaps in file management capabilities, making it useful for knowledge base organization and content restructuring workflows.
