Obsidian Note Take Project Setup

1. Installed Claude desktop application
2. Installed required dependencies: brew install uv
3. Installed the MCP-Obsidian integration:
   • GitHub repo: https://github.com/MarkusPfundstein/mcp-obsidian
4. Installed Obsidian plugin "Local REST API" to enable Claude to interact with Obsidian
5. Edited Claude configuration to work with Obsidian
6. Created a separate Claude project called "Obsidian Note Taker"

The following instructions were set for the Obsidian Note Taker project:

• Use MCP tools as much as possible to help with note-taking
• Be concise in responses
• Create new notes in the 0-inbox folder
• Always link to new files from the daily note with a brief description of contents
• The daily notes are located in the Journal File.

Successfully tested that Claude could interact with Obsidian and save chat output directly to the vault.

• Local REST API (required for Claude MCP integration)
