Semantic knowledge graph engine for markdown vaults. Discovers hidden connections between notes using AI-powered vector embeddings and PostgreSQL+pgvector. Accessible to any AI app or harness compatible with MCP.

Overview

Obsidian Graph builds a semantic knowledge graph of your markdown vault, discovering relationships between notes that go beyond keywords and explicit links. It embeds your notes as vectors using Voyage Context-4, stores them in PostgreSQL+pgvector, and provides tools for semantic search, multi-hop graph traversal, hub detection, and orphan analysis.

Designed for Obsidian vaults but works with any folder of markdown files. Connects to any AI app or harness compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Features

  • Semantic Search: Find notes by meaning, not just keywords
  • Connection Discovery: Multi-hop BFS graph traversal to map note relationships
  • Hub Analysis: Identify highly connected conceptual anchors (MOC candidates)
  • Orphan Detection: Find isolated insights that need integration
  • Auto-Indexing: Automatic file wa

Questions

What is the Obsidian Graph MCP server?

Semantic knowledge graph navigation for Obsidian or markdown vaults using AI-powered vector embeddings and PostgreSQL+pgvector

What tools does Obsidian Graph expose?

4 in total: 4 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Obsidian Graph safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.

What credentials does Obsidian Graph need?

It reads POSTGRES_PASSWORD and VOYAGE_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Obsidian Graph run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as obsidian-graph.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (26e154a3530e), read on 2026-10-10. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
