}Use Obsidian MCP with multiple AI models
TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once Obsidian is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP runs locally through the TypingMind MCP connector on your device.
Setup guide to use the local connector
Use this when the MCP server needs access to local files, apps, or private resources on your computer.
Open the MCP settings
In TypingMind, go to Settings, Advanced Settings, then Model Context Protocol and choose Setup Connector.
- Open TypingMind in your browser.
- Click the Settings icon.
- Go to Advanced Settings.
- Open the Model Context Protocol section.
- Click Setup Connector and choose This Device.
Run the connector command
Choose This Device, copy the command from TypingMind, and run it in Terminal. Keep the process running while you use MCP.
- Copy the setup command shown by TypingMind.
- Open Terminal on macOS or Windows Terminal on Windows.
- Paste and run the command.
- Approve the package install if Terminal asks you to proceed.
- Keep the Terminal window running while using MCP tools.
Add Obsidian as a server
When the connector status is Ready, click Edit Servers and paste the MCP server configuration.
- Wait until the connector status shows Ready.
- Click Edit Servers.
- Paste the Obsidian MCP server configuration.
- Save the server list.
- Refresh if you want to confirm the connector is still ready.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Obsidian MCP server used for?
Obsidian is an MCP server that lets compatible AI clients connect to external tools and context. In TypingMind, you can add this MCP server once and make its tools available in your AI workspace.
Can I use Obsidian MCP with multiple AI models in TypingMind?
Yes. TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so you can use Obsidian with different AI models such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other models you have configured in TypingMind without setting up the MCP server separately for each model.
Why use Obsidian MCP with TypingMind?
TypingMind is one of the best frontends for LLM chat because it brings multiple AI models, prompts, plugins, AI agents, API keys, and MCP tools into one workspace. With Obsidian connected, you can use its MCP tools across your preferred models while keeping your chat workflow organized in TypingMind.
How do I connect Obsidian MCP to TypingMind?
Obsidian runs through the TypingMind local MCP connector. This is best when the MCP server needs access to local files, desktop apps, command-line tools, or private resources on your computer.
What tools does Obsidian MCP provide in TypingMind?
Obsidian exposes MCP capabilities that can be enabled from the TypingMind Plugins page and used in chat or assigned to AI agents.
Do I need to share my API keys with TypingMind to use Obsidian MCP?
No. TypingMind is local-first and lets you keep your model providers, API keys, prompts, and MCP configuration under your control. If Obsidian requires authentication, add the required headers, OAuth settings, or local configuration for that MCP server when you create the connection.
