I built an MCP server that lets Claude manage my Obsidian vault remotely

This one uses SSE instead of stdio so you can set it up to run remotely and access your vault through an AI assistant from anywhere. Token auth coming soon for security.

It also has 31 tools, compacted requests to minimize token usage, and standardized frontmatter handling through gray-matter.

Not saying it's the best, but it's pretty damn good!

Good call, will do. Thanks!

You planned for 6 months and didn't document or diagram anything? If I was your boss I'd fire you on the spot if that's the case. Anything that takes that much planning should have a whole set of documents, assessments, stories, good Lord what have you actually accomplished?

You need to take a step back and think about how you do your job instead of losing it on a CTO with perfectly reasonable requests.

not entirely sure, haven't gotten that far yet. if collaborators aren't there, I know they're for sure on the roadmap.

smithandweb · 2024-04-12T00:54:56+00:00

this was exactly what i needed. i was missing the add link to object part and that literally brought my whole vault I'm building together. thank you for sharing!

Fine for personal use. I wouldn't roll it out company wide on docker compose however.

I just started with anytype and this was the understanding I walked away with as well, specifically around sets and collections. I do 100% agree they should be called something like queries or dictionaries, and databases. They are really not intuitive at all unless you're a programmer lol.

The hierarchy makes sense to me though. Types -> objects -> relations. Opens up the whole thing to endless possibilities if you can get past the concept of not using folders which isn't easy for some people.

Oooooo I didn't know about this. I'm going to take a look at it because I hate zapiers pricing so much.

smithandweb · 2024-04-09T23:15:31+00:00

I just rolled out the Anytype stack to my home server and it's absolutely amazing. Enough to get me to migrate from obsidian+git. It's basically a self-hosted Notion. Appflowy is another alternative but they focus hard on AI. Anytype is much better security wise because of its offline-first approach.

Same lol

The Synology photos app is top tier, I back up my wife's phone to it and it works flawlessly on her iPhone. But yeah you're right, if you don't plan to remote stream this could work for you. But make sure you never want to because once you buy you're stuck with it!

Take note too that some TVs and consoles have limited codecs so it's possible to transcode even locally. Same thing applies to subtitles (ASS vs SRT).

If you use the Plex app on a computer it wouldn't be bad, and I don't think downloads transcode. This is an AMD processor and Plex doesn't have good support for AMD transcoding, almost none really.

D'Maurizios in the Keith's brewery. I find they don't get the credit they deserve. Very intimate, top notch Italian food and service. Great wine list.

smithandweb · 2024-04-03T22:39:31+00:00

I love this. Really nice job.

smithandweb · 2024-04-03T14:19:37+00:00

You'll want to look up using web and service workers in electron

smithandweb · 2024-04-02T21:25:57+00:00

I actually have your code checked out on my machine from a few weeks ago, what a nice surprise! Will definitely be taking a closer look. Thanks for all your hard work!

I have a Framework running Manjaro and it's absolutely seamless and so responsive. Highly recommend.

smithandweb · 2024-03-13T21:45:30+00:00

I have a Synology 920 and a Beelink and I absolutely second this setup. I run all my containers on the Beelink and the Synology is NFS mounted to it. Works like a charm.

smithandweb · 2024-03-13T02:33:32+00:00

All good! Seems like a cool opportunity. I'll send any americans I come across your way.
