This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OBSIDIAN_VAULT (Target vault name. If unset or unknown, the server prompts the caller on first tool use, listing the vaults Obsidian knows about.), OBSIDIAN_CLI_PATH (Path to the obsidian-cli binary. Auto-discovered on macOS; set explicitly on Linux/Windows or if the binary is non-standard.), OBSIDIAN_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-command timeout in milliseconds.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
