Not sure where the config file lives, or it isn't picking the server up? Config paths for every client.

What it does

Connects an assistant to your Obsidian notes so it can search, read, and reference your knowledge base while it works.

Like any MCP server, Obsidian plugs into MCP-compatible assistants (such as Claude and other clients) so the model can use it as a tool , no custom integration code required.
