Install Obsidian Secure in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y obsidian-mcp-secure on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the Obsidian Secure repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
obsidian-mcp-secure
Secure Model Context Protocol server that turns your Obsidian vault into a reliable data source for any MCP-compatible AI client — built from scratch with OWASP Top 10 controls and full audit logging.
Listed on the official Anthropic MCP Registry as io.github.dewtech-technologies/obsidian-mcp-secure.
🧭 Positioning — this is NOT a plugin for Obsidian
It's the opposite: it's a bridge that lets Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) read and write inside Obsidian safely. Your AI assistant stays where it lives; your vault becomes a structured, auditable datasource it can reach.

Why another Obsidian + AI integration?
There are plugins that put Claude inside Obsidian. This is the inverse, and it exists because:
- Your assistant is Claude Desktop — that's where the general-purpose conversations happen. Your notes become one of many contexts Claude can reach, alongside web, GitHub, filesystems, etc.
- Security is a first-class concern — deliberate attack surface, no shell access, path traversal blocked, inputs validated with Zod, every call audited.
- Zero build, zero account — npx obsidian-mcp-secure and done. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux the same way.
- Composability — combine this MCP with fetch, filesystem, git, GitHub, etc., and Claude can cross-reference your vault with external sources in a single conversation.
