README Excerpt

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides remote access to Obsidian vaults with full CRUD operations, Obsidian-aware intelligence, and performance optimizations. A generic filesystem server treats your vault as flat files. This server understands Obsidian: - **Wikilinks are first-class** - resolve `[[links]]`, extract all links from a file, find backlinks, and automatically update links when you move or rename files. A filesystem server has no concept of `[[wikilinks]]`.
