homebrew

This MCP server is delivered as a macOS binary via a Homebrew tap. After installing, the obsidian-mcp-server binary is available in your system PATH. Use obsidian-mcp-server --help to see available commands and options. The server provides integration tooling to interact with Obsidian vaults through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) workflow. To connect with an MCP client, reference the project homepage for integration instructions and supported endpoints. Typical usage involves starting the server and then using the client to send MCP requests, queries, or actions as defined by the Obsidian-MCP integration setup.

Prerequisites:

• macOS with Homebrew installed
• Basic familiarity with Terminal

Install steps:

1. Add the tap and install the binary: brew tap otaviocc/mcp brew install obsidian-mcp-server

2. Verify installation: obsidian-mcp-server --help

3. (Optional) Upgrade when new releases are available: brew update brew upgrade obsidian-mcp-server

4. Uninstall when done: brew uninstall obsidian-mcp-server

Removing the tap entirely: brew untap otaviocc/mcp

Notes:

• The binary is provided by the Homebrew formula; there is no separate runtime environment to configure beyond PATH.

Tips and considerations:

• If you need to customize runtime behavior, refer to the --help output for available flags and options.
• Ensure your macOS PATH includes Homebrew's bin directory so the obsidian-mcp-server command is discoverable.
• Keeping the tap up-to-date with brew update ensures you receive the latest binary releases.
• If you encounter issues, use brew info obsidian-mcp-server to inspect version, download URL, and SHA256. Running brew doctor can help diagnose Homebrew environment problems.
