Remote sync, MCP, and an API for your Obsidian vault

Geode is a tool that provides remote sync, MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration, and an API for Obsidian vaults, enabling users to access and manage their notes programmatically and across devices.

Background

- Geode is an open-source tool that adds remote sync, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and a REST API to Obsidian — the popular note-taking app built on local Markdown files. - Until now, Obsidian Sync (the official paid service) was the only way to sync vaults across devices, and accessing vault data programmatically required third-party plugins or file-wrangling. Geode offers a free, self-hostable alternative. - MCP is an emerging protocol that lets AI assistants (like Claude) read and write directly from tools like a notes vault — so Geode effectively gives an LLM live access to your Obsidian knowledge base via a standardized interface. - The project targets power users who want full control over their data, offline-first sync, and AI integration without depending on Obsidian's proprietary ecosystem.
