This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OBSIDIAN_API_KEY (API Key generated by Obsidian's Local REST API plugin (Settings -> Local REST API -> API Key)), OBSIDIAN_HOST (Host of the Local REST API (default: http://127.0.0.1)), OBSIDIAN_PORT (Port of the Local REST API (default: 27123)), LOG_DIR (Directory for audit logs (default: ./logs)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Obsidian MCP Secure — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Obsidian MCP Secure?

Obsidian MCP Secure runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package obsidian-mcp-secure was installed 40 times last week.

How do I connect Obsidian MCP Secure?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls obsidian-mcp-secure straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Obsidian MCP Secure?

The npm package obsidian-mcp-secure was installed 40 times in the last week. Week over week that is -30%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Obsidian MCP Secure open source?

We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
