Manifest Integrity (MANDATORY) -## [SECTION_2_NAME] - +Every bundle MUST include a valid `manifest.json` conforming to MCPB specification: -[SECTION_2_CONTENT] - +- `manifest_version` MUST match current spec (currently `0.3`) +- All REQUIRED fields MUST be present: `name`, `version`, `description`, `author`, `server` +- Semantic versioning (semver) MUST be used for bundle versions +- `server.mcp_config` MUST provide complete, correct execution configuration +- Variable substitution (`${__dirname}`, `${user_config.*}`) MUST be used for portability +- User configuration schemas MUST validate correctly and handle all edge cases -## [SECTION_3_NAME] - +**Rationale**: Manifest integrity is the contract between bundle and host application. +Invalid manifests cause installation failures, runtime errors, and security +vulnerabilities. The manifest is the single source of truth for bundle capabilities. -[SECTION_3_CONTENT] - +### III. Local Execution Security + +Bundles run with local system privileges and MUST implement security defensively: + +- NEVER trust user input—validate and sanitize all parameters +- File system access MUST be explicitly scoped via `user_config` (directory/file pickers) +- Sensitive data (API keys, tokens) MUST use `sensitive: true` in user_config +- External API calls MUST have timeout limits (no infinite waits) +- Error messages MUST NOT leak sensitive paths, credentials, or system information +- Privacy policies MUST be declared if connecting to external services + +**Rationale**: MCP bundles execute locally with user privileges. Security flaws +can expose personal data, credentials, or enable privilege escalation. Users trust +bundles to respect their privacy and system security. + +### IV. Defensive Programming (NON-NEGOTIABLE) + +Code MUST anticipate failure modes and handle them gracefully: + +- Every external call (file I/O, network, subprocess) MUST have error handling +- Timeouts MUST be set for all network operations and long-running tasks +- Input validation MUST happen before any processing (fail-fast principle) +- Clear, actionable error messages MUST be returned (not stack traces to users) +- Resource cleanup MUST occur even on error paths (use try/finally patterns) +- Logging MUST capture enough context for debugging without exposing secrets + +**Rationale**: MCP bundles run in diverse environments (different OS versions, +network conditions, file systems). Defensive code prevents crashes, data loss, +and poor user experiences. Clear errors enable users to self-resolve issues. + +### V. Structured Tool Responses + +All MCP tool calls MUST return well-structured, consistent responses: + +- Response schema MUST be documented (consider `outputSchema` in manifest) +- JSON responses MUST be valid and follow declared schema +- Error responses MUST use consistent structure with error codes/messages +- Large outputs MUST be truncated/paginated appropriately +- Tool descriptions MUST accurately reflect behavior and parameters +- `inputSchema` MUST validate all parameters with clear constraints + +**Rationale**: Structured responses enable AI models to reliably parse and act +on tool results. Inconsistent or malformed responses cause model confusion, +incorrect actions, and poor user experiences. Clear schemas are self-documenting. + +### VI. Stdio Transport Standard + +MCP communication MUST use stdio transport correctly: + +- Server MUST read JSON-RPC messages from stdin line-by-line +- Server MUST write JSON-RPC responses to stdout (one per line) +- Debug/log messages MUST go to stderr (NEVER to stdout) +- Server MUST NOT use stdin/stdout for any non-MCP communication +- Server MUST handle stdin EOF gracefully (indicates shutdown) +- Buffering MUST be disabled or flushed immediately after each message + +**Rationale**: Stdio transport is the MCP standard. Mixing logs with responses, +buffering issues, or improper EOF handling breaks protocol communication and +causes silent failures that are extremely difficult to debug. + +## Security & Privacy Requirements + +### Data Protection + +- User data MUST remain local unless explicitly connecting to documented external services +- Credentials MUST use OS credential storage when possible (not plain text files) +- File access MUST be limited to user-configured directories (no global file system access) +- Temporary files MUST be cleaned up and MUST NOT contain sensitive data +- Network connections MUST use HTTPS/TLS for external services + +### Transparency + +- External service connections MUST be declared in `privacy_policies` field +- User configuration MUST clearly explain what data is accessed/transmitted +- Tool descriptions MUST be honest about actions performed +- Bundle permissions MUST be minimal (principle of least privilege) + +## Quality Assurance Standards + +### Testing Requirements + +- All tools MUST have test cases validating correct responses +- Error handling MUST be tested (invalid inputs, network failures, missing files) +- Manifest MUST be validated with `mcpb pack` before release +- Bundle MUST be tested on all declared platforms in `compatibility.platforms` +- Integration testing with host application MUST be performed + +### Documentation Standards + +- README MUST explain what the bundle does and configuration requirements +- User-facing configuration options MUST have clear descriptions +- Setup instructions MUST be complete (prerequisites, installation, first use) +- Troubleshooting guide MUST address common error scenarios +- Examples MUST be provided for all tools + +### Code Quality + +- Prefer Node.js over Python (Node.js ships with Claude Desktop) +- Bundle all dependencies (no reliance on user-installed packages except runtimes) +- Use clear variable/function names (code readability matters for auditing) +- Comments MUST explain WHY, not WHAT (code should be self-documenting) +- Follow language-specific best practices and linting standards ## Governance - -[GOVERNANCE_RULES] - +This constitution establishes non-negotiable standards for MCPB development.

Use the command 'obsidian help' to list all the features that should be supported with the MCP." + +## Clarifications + +### Session 2026-03-22 + +- Q: When multiple notes exist with the same name in different folders, how should the system resolve which note to operate on? → A: Return an error with list of matching paths, requiring user to specify exact path +- Q: When the user requests an operation but Obsidian application is not running, what should happen? → A: Immediately return error message instructing user to start Obsidian manually +- Q: When the AI modifies a file that the user is actively editing in Obsidian, what should the system do to prevent data loss? → A: Rely on Obsidian's built-in conflict detection; save immediately and let Obsidian prompt user if conflict occurs +- Q: What level of detail should be logged to stderr for debugging operations? → A: Operation type, parameters (sanitized), timestamp, success/failure + +## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)* + +### User Story 1 - File Operations via AI (Priority: P1) + +AI assistants can read, create, append, and modify Obsidian notes through natural language requests, enabling users to manage their knowledge base conversationally without leaving their AI chat interface. + +**Why this priority**: Core value proposition - enables basic note-taking workflows that represent 80% of common use cases (reading existing notes, creating new ones, appending to daily notes). + +**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by asking an AI to "create a new note about MCP bundles", "read my daily note", or "append a reminder to my todo list" and verifying the operations execute correctly in Obsidian. + +**Acceptance Scenarios**: + +1. **Given** a user is chatting with an AI assistant, **When** they say "create a new note called 'Meeting Notes' with the agenda items", **Then** Obsidian creates the note with the specified content +2. **Given** a note exists in the vault, **When** the user asks "what does my project roadmap say?", **Then** the AI reads and summarizes the note content +3. **Given** a user wants to add a task, **When** they say "add 'buy groceries' to my daily note", **Then** the content is appended to today's daily note +4. **Given** a user mentions a note name, **When** the AI needs to read it, **Then** the system resolves the note by name (wikilink-style) without requiring exact paths + +--- + +### User Story 2 - Search and Discovery (Priority: P2) + +AI assistants can search vault content, find related notes via backlinks, discover tags and properties, and help users navigate their knowledge graph, making information retrieval conversational and context-aware. + +**Why this priority**: Unlocks the power of Obsidian's graph structure - users can ask "what notes link to this?", "find all notes about project X", or "show me unresolved links" without learning search syntax. + +**Independent Test**: Ask the AI "find all notes mentioning 'quarterly goals'", "what links to my project overview?", or "list all notes tagged with #important" and verify accurate search results. + +**Acceptance Scenarios**: + +1. **Given** a vault with multiple notes, **When** the user asks "search for notes about machine learning", **Then** the AI returns relevant notes with context snippets +2. **Given** a note has backlinks, **When** the user asks "what notes reference this article?", **Then** the AI lists all incoming links with counts +3. **Given** the user wants to explore tags, **When** they ask "what are my most used tags?", **Then** the AI returns tags sorted by frequency +4. **Given** unresolved links exist, **When** the user asks "what broken links do I have?", **Then** the AI lists all wikilinks pointing to non-existent notes + +--- + +### User Story 3 - Task and Property Management (Priority: P3) + +AI assistants can create, toggle, and query tasks across the vault, manage note properties (frontmatter), and help users maintain structured metadata, enabling task tracking and note organization through conversation. + +**Why this priority**: Enhances productivity workflows - users can manage tasks and metadata without context-switching, but builds on top of basic file operations. + +**Independent Test**: Ask the AI "show me all incomplete tasks", "mark the task on line 15 as done", or "set the 'status' property to 'in-progress'" and verify task/property updates. + +**Acceptance Scenarios**: + +1. **Given** multiple notes with tasks, **When** the user asks "list all my todo items", **Then** the AI returns incomplete tasks grouped by file +2. **Given** a task exists at a specific location, **When** the user says "mark that task as done", **Then** the task status toggles to completed +3. **Given** a note needs metadata, **When** the user says "set the 'author' property to 'John Doe'", **Then** the frontmatter is updated +4. **Given** the user wants to track properties, **When** they ask "what properties exist in my vault?", **Then** the AI lists all unique property names with counts + +--- + +### User Story 4 - Vault Navigation and Info (Priority: P4) + +AI assistants can list files and folders, show vault statistics, open specific notes, and provide information about the vault structure, helping users understand and navigate their knowledge base. + +**Why this priority**: Utility features that enhance user experience but aren't essential for core workflows. + +**Independent Test**: Ask the AI "how many notes do I have?", "list files in my Projects folder", or "open my weekly review note" and verify accurate responses. + +**Acceptance Scenarios**: + +1. **Given** a user wants vault statistics, **When** they ask "how big is my vault?", **Then** the AI returns file count, folder count, and total size +2. **Given** a folder contains notes, **When** the user asks "what's in my Archive folder?", **Then** the AI lists all files in that directory +3. **Given** the user wants to open a note, **When** they say "open my project roadmap", **Then** Obsidian opens the specified note +4. **Given** the user wants recent activity, **When** they ask "what notes did I open recently?", **Then** the AI returns the recent files list + +--- + +### User Story 5 - Advanced Features (Priority: P5) + +AI assistants can work with templates, daily notes, bookmarks, plugins, themes, and Obsidian-specific features, providing power users with comprehensive CLI access through natural language. + +**Why this priority**: Serves power users and advanced workflows but not critical for initial adoption. + +**Independent Test**: Ask the AI "insert my meeting template", "list enabled plugins", or "what's my active theme?" and verify correct execution. + +**Acceptance Scenarios**: + +1. **Given** templates exist, **When** the user says "insert my standup template", **Then** the template content is inserted into the active file +2. **Given** the user manages plugins, **When** they ask "what plugins are enabled?", **Then** the AI returns the list of active plugins +3. **Given** a user wants bookmark management, **When** they say "bookmark this search query", **Then** a bookmark is created +4. **Given** the user tracks file history, **When** they ask "show versions of this note", **Then** the AI lists available file history versions + +--- + +### Edge Cases + +- **Ambiguous note names**: When multiple notes with the same name exist in different folders, the system MUST return an error listing all matching paths and require the user to specify the exact path to disambiguate +- **Obsidian not running**: When Obsidian application is not running, the system MUST immediately return a clear error message instructing the user to start Obsidian before retrying the operation +- **Concurrent edits**: When AI modifies a file that the user is actively editing, the system MUST save immediately and rely on Obsidian's built-in conflict detection to prompt the user if a conflict occurs +- **File doesn't exist**: When a user requests an operation on a file that doesn't exist, the system MUST return a structured error with `code: "FILE_NOT_FOUND"` and include the requested path in the message (e.g., "Note 'ideas.md' not found in vault 'MyVault'") +- **CLI error communication**: All errors from Obsidian CLI MUST be captured via stderr, mapped to MCP error codes (see FR-017), and returned with actionable messages that do not leak sensitive information +- **Vault sync paused**: When vault sync is paused and an operation is attempted, the system MUST allow the operation to proceed (sync status does not block local file operations) but log a warning if the operation modifies files +- **Special characters in note names**: The system MUST pass note names to Obsidian CLI without modification, allowing Obsidian to handle special character validation according to its own rules (fail-fast if CLI rejects) +- **Invalid vault name**: When user configuration specifies a vault that doesn't exist, the system MUST return error `code: "VAULT_NOT_FOUND"` during the first operation attempt with message listing available vaults from `obsidian vault list` + +## Requirements *(mandatory)* + +### Functional Requirements + +- **FR-001**: Bundle MUST implement MCP protocol via stdio transport using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk +- **FR-002**: Bundle MUST provide tools for all core Obsidian CLI file operations (create, read, append, prepend, delete, move, rename) +- **FR-003**: Bundle MUST support vault-specific targeting via user configuration (vault name parameter) +-

Bundle MUST return structured JSON responses for all tool calls +- **FR-017**: Bundle MUST handle errors gracefully and return actionable error messages; when Obsidian is not running, MUST instruct user to start application +- **FR-018**: Bundle MUST use timeout limits for all CLI command executions (default 30 seconds) +- **FR-019**: Bundle MUST support file resolution by name (wikilink-style) and exact path; when multiple files match a name, MUST return error with all matching paths +- **FR-020**: Bundle MUST log debugging information to stderr only (never stdout); logs MUST include operation type, sanitized parameters (removing sensitive data like vault paths and note content), timestamp, and success/failure status +- **FR-021**: Bundle MUST include valid manifest.json conforming to MCPB spec v0.3 +- **FR-022**: Bundle MUST declare required vault directory in user_config +- **FR-023**: Bundle MUST include tool descriptions that accurately reflect Obsidian CLI capabilities +- **FR-024**: Bundle MUST handle optional parameters with sensible defaults +- **FR-025**: Bundle MUST support output format options where Obsidian CLI provides them (json, tsv, csv) +

allowing users to specify which Obsidian vault to target +- **Task**: A markdown checkbox item with status (todo, done, custom), line number reference, and parent file +- **Property**: Frontmatter metadata key-value pair (text, list, number, checkbox, date, datetime types) +- **Link**: A connection between notes (outgoing links, backlinks, unresolved links) +- **Tag**: A categorization marker (e.g., #project, #important) with occurrence tracking + +## Success Criteria *(mandatory)* + +### Measurable Outcomes + +- **SC-001**: Users can perform basic note operations (create, read, append) in under 3 seconds per operation +- **SC-002**: Search queries return results with context in under 5 seconds for vaults up to 10,000 notes +- **SC-003**: All tool calls return structured responses that AI models can reliably parse (100% JSON validity) +- **SC-004**: Error messages enable users to self-resolve issues in 90% of common failure scenarios (missing note, invalid vault, command timeout) +- **SC-005**: Bundle installs successfully via single-click in Claude Desktop without requiring manual configuration beyond vault selection +- **SC-006**: 95% of Obsidian CLI commands have corresponding MCP tools with accurate parameter mapping +- **SC-007**: Tool descriptions are clear enough that AI assistants select the correct tool on first attempt for common requests (measured by user

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Issue: The registerTool method was receiving description and inputSchema parameters but marking them as unused (_description, _inputSchema) and not storing them with the handler. This caused tools/list to return tools without their description and inputSchema properties. Fix: Remove underscore prefixes and explicitly set these properties on the handler object before storing it in the tools Map. Now tools/list will properly return: - name: Tool name - description: Tool description (from registerTool call) - inputSchema: Tool input schema (from registerTool call) This ensures MCP clients can see proper tool documentation and schemas.

Root Cause: - Obsidian CLI requires quoting values with spaces: name="My Note" - Previous implementation used unquoted format: name=My Note - Shell would split on spaces, breaking multi-word filenames Solution: 1. Created formatParam() helper in src/utils/cli-helpers.ts - Always quotes parameter values: param="value" - Handles spaces and special characters safely 2. Updated file-operations.ts (8 tools): - All file/path/content/name parameters now quoted - create, read, append, prepend, delete, move, rename, open 3. Updated search.ts (1 tool): - query, path, format, limit parameters now quoted - Fixes searches with multi-word queries Changes: - Before: cmdArgs.push(\`file=${name}\`) - After: cmdArgs.push(formatParam('file', name)) Files changed: - src/utils/cli-helpers.ts (new): formatParam() and buildCmdArgs() helpers - src/tools/file-operations.ts: Use formatParam() for all parameters - src/tools/search.ts: Use formatParam() for all parameters Impact: - File operations now work with multi-word filenames - Search queries with spaces now work correctly - Content parameters with newlines/special chars handled safely Known Issue: - links.ts, tags-aliases.ts, properties.ts still need similar fixes - These tools have additional structural issues (wrong command names) - Will be addressed in follow-up commit Build: 0 errors Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --- src/tools/file-operations.ts | 45 ++++++++++++++++++------------------ src/tools/search.ts | 11 +++++---- src/utils/cli-helpers.ts | 44 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 73 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/utils/cli-helpers.ts diff --git a/src/tools/file-operations.ts b/src/tools/file-operations.ts index 41821b0..52df704 100644 --- a/src/tools/file-operations.ts +++ b/src/tools/file-operations.ts @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ import { fileIdentifierSchema, } from '../validation/schemas.js';

Wrong Command Names:** - ❌ Was calling: `obsidian link backlinks` (wrong - 'link' command doesn't exist) - ✅ Now calling: `obsidian backlinks` (correct CLI command) - Fixed 5 tools: backlinks, outgoing links, unresolved, deadends, orphans - Changed executeObsidianCommand('link', ...) → executeObsidianCommand('backlinks', ...) - Changed 'outgoing-links' → 'links' (correct command name) - Changed 'unresolved-links' → 'unresolved' **tags-aliases.ts - Wrong Command Names:** - ❌ Was calling: `obsidian tag list-tags` (wrong format) - ✅ Now calling: `obsidian tags` (correct command) - Fixed 3 tools: list_tags, tag_info, list_aliases - Changed executeObsidianCommand('tag', ['list-tags']) → executeObsidianCommand('tags', []) - Changed 'tag-info' → 'tag' with name parameter - Changed 'alias' → 'aliases' **Parameter Quoting:** - Added formatParam() imports to both files - All string parameters now quoted: `file="My Note"` not `file=My Note` - Fixes multi-word filename handling (previously split on spaces) **Parameter Format:** - Changed from `--flag value` to Obsidian CLI format: `param=value` - Boolean flags now standalone: `counts` not `--counts` - Aligns with file-operations.ts and search.ts patterns ## Documentation (Polish Phase) **T150 - README.md Updated:** - Changed "20 tools" → "28 tools" (accurate count) - Added complete tool listing with descriptions - Organized by category: File Operations (8), Search & Discovery (12), Tasks & Properties (8) - Each tool includes name and brief description - Removed placeholder text about US3 being "planned" **T151 - CHANGELOG.md Created:** - Full v1.0.0 changelog following Keep a Changelog format - Documents all 28 tools across 3 user stories - Lists infrastructure features (MCP protocol, MCPB bundle, validation, security) - Technical details section (TypeScript, Node.js, transport, CLI integration) - Quality metrics (0 compilation errors, passing validation) - Planned features section for deferred US4/US5 ## Impact These fixes resolve 8 broken tools that would have failed on: - Any command execution (wrong command names) - Any filename with spaces (missing quoting) Affected tools now work correctly: - obsidian_get_backlinks - obsidian_list_outgoing_links - obsidian_list_unresolved_links - obsidian_list_deadends - obsidian_list_orphans - obsidian_list_tags - obsidian_get_tag_info - obsidian_list_aliases ## Files Changed - src/tools/links.ts: Fixed 5 tools (command names + quoting) - src/tools/tags-aliases.ts: Fixed 3 tools (command names + quoting) - README.md: Updated tool count and complete listings (T150) - CHANGELOG.md: Created comprehensive v1.0.0 changelog (T151) - specs/001-obsidian-mcp-bundle/tasks.md: Marked T150-T151, T080-T081 complete ## Task Progress - Completed: T080-T081 (infrastructure helpers), T150-T151 (polish docs) - Total: 89/101 tasks (88.1%) - Remaining: T076-T078 (optional wrappers), T153-T165 (polish/testing) ## Build Status ✅ TypeScript: 0 errors ✅ All 28 tools now have correct CLI integration ✅ Parameter quoting consistent across all tool files Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --- CHANGELOG.md | 94 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ README.md | 38 +++++++++-- specs/001-obsidian-mcp-bundle/tasks.md | 8 +-- src/tools/links.ts | 43 ++++++------ src/tools/tags-aliases.ts | 29 ++++---- 5 files changed, 169 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) create mode 100644 CHANGELOG.md diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..43cb428 --- /dev/null +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +# Changelog + +All notable changes to the Obsidian MCP Bundle will be documented in this file. + +The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), +and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). + +## [1.0.0] -
