    "obsidian-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "obsidian-mcp-server@3.6.0"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OBSIDIAN_API_KEY": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "OBSIDIAN_BASE_URL": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "OBSIDIAN_VERIFY_SSL": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "OBSIDIAN_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "OBSIDIAN_ENABLE_COMMANDS": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "OBSIDIAN_READ_PATHS": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "OBSIDIAN_WRITE_PATHS": "<YOUR_VALUE>",

        "OBSIDIAN_OMNISEARCH_URL": "<YOUR_VALUE>",

      }
    }
  }
}

• OBSIDIAN_API_KEY required — Bearer token for the Obsidian Local REST API plugin (Settings → Community Plugins → Local REST API).
• OBSIDIAN_BASE_URL — Base URL of the Obsidian Local REST API. Default: http://127.0.0.1:27123 (enable "Non-encrypted (HTTP) Server" in plugin settings). Use https://127.0.0.1:27124 for the always-on HTTPS port (self-signed cert; pair with OBSIDIAN_VERIFY_SSL=false).
• OBSIDIAN_VERIFY_SSL — Whether to verify the TLS certificate on the Obsidian endpoint. Default false because the plugin uses a self-signed cert.
• OBSIDIAN_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS — Per-request timeout in milliseconds.
• OBSIDIAN_ENABLE_COMMANDS — Opt-in flag for the command-palette pair (obsidian_list_commands + obsidian_execute_command). Off by default — Obsidian commands are opaque and can be destructive.
• OBSIDIAN_READ_PATHS — Optional comma-separated vault-relative folder allowlist for reads. Prefix-based with implicit recursion; case-insensitive; trailing slashes normalized. Unset = full vault. Write paths are implicitly readable. Example: 'public/,projects/'.
• OBSIDIAN_WRITE_PATHS — Optional comma-separated vault-relative folder allowlist for writes. Same syntax as OBSIDIAN_READ_PATHS. Unset = full vault. Example: 'projects/,scratch/'.
• OBSIDIAN_READ_ONLY — Global read-only kill switch. When true, every write is denied regardless of OBSIDIAN_WRITE_PATHS, and the command-palette pair is suppressed (commands can mutate). Useful for shared or public-facing deployments.
• OBSIDIAN_OMNISEARCH_URL — Override URL for the Omnisearch plugin HTTP server. Unset derives from OBSIDIAN_BASE_URL host with port 51361. Required only if the Omnisearch plugin is not on the default port.
• MCP_LOG_LEVEL — Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').

This server takes extra arguments — see its repository.
