Create a new directory in the vault.
How to use it
Project documentation lists create-directory for the Obsidian MCP Rs MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.

Add tags to notes in frontmatter and/or content.
Create a new note with Markdown content.
Delete a note from the vault.
Edit an existing note.
Read or write any YAML frontmatter key — not just tags. Writes are line surgery on the one key named, so the rest of the block (comments, key order, quoting) survives byte for byte.
List all vaults configured for this server. Takes no parameters.
Move or rename a note within the vault.
Today's daily note, and its weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly siblings — read from Obsidian's own settings (the Periodic Notes plugin's data.json, then core's daily-notes.json, then Obsidian's defaults), so it lands where Obsidian would rather than creating a stray note.
Read the content of an existing note.
Remove tags from notes.
Rename a tag across all notes in the vault.
Search notes by content, filename, or tag. Results are BM25-ranked, best-first, and paged.
