periodic
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.
How to use it
periodic is exposed by the Obsidian MCP Rs MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the periodic tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
