+### Added
+- **Binary file support in `obsidian_read_note`**: Binary files are now read directly from the filesystem, bypassing the Obsidian CLI which does not support binary output
+  - Uses `obsidian vault info=path` to resolve the vault root filesystem path
+  - Uses `obsidian file file=<name>` to resolve wikilink-style names to vault-relative paths
+  - Images (PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP, SVG) returned as MCP image content `{ type: "image", data, mimeType }`
+  - Other binary files (PDF, ZIP, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, etc.) returned as MCP embedded resource `{ type: "resource", resource: { uri, mimeType, blob } }`
+  - Unknown extensions fall through to the CLI with a runtime binary detection fallback
