Category Productivity and Notes
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security80
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.29.0, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 38 of 103 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency100
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to bezata/kObsidian). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 63 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
- Tool/resource definitions use about 4371 tokens (~47/item across 92 items; 92 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety86
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 3 of 7 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "tags.remove" implies "remove" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Partial
- An AI judge read all 92 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

How do I install the kObsidian MCP server?
kObsidian runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y kobsidian-mcp. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.
npm · kobsidian-mcp
claude mcp add bezata-kobsidian-mcp -- npx -y kobsidian-mcp
What is the kObsidian MCP server?
kObsidian is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.bezata/kobsidian-mcp. Filesystem-first MCP for Obsidian, an LLM-maintained wiki inspired by Karpathy's LLM Wiki. This page covers its npm package (kobsidian-mcp).
Is the kObsidian MCP server safe to use?
kObsidian scores 86 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 7 known advisories against it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the kObsidian MCP server expose?
kObsidian exposes 92 tools: notes.read, notes.create, notes.update, notes.delete, notes.search, and 87 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 4,371 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the kObsidian MCP server still maintained?
kObsidian is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the kObsidian MCP server under?
kObsidian declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
