MCP API for Obsidian 0.6.0

BREAKING CHANGES

• Self-Contained Server: Removed dependency on Obsidian Local REST API plugin. The MCP plugin
  now runs its own HTTP/HTTPS server. This greatly simplifies setup and reduces external
  dependencies.
• Authentication Required: All API requests now require Bearer token authentication. Create at
  least one token in settings to enable access.
• HTTP Transport: Changed MCP transport type from streamableHttp to standard http. Update
  your MCP client configuration accordingly.
• SSE Removed: Server-Sent Events support has been removed in favor of standard HTTP-only
  transport.

Added

• Built-in HTTP/HTTPS server with Express
  • Self-contained server with configurable host and port
  • HTTP mode (default) for simple local setup
  • HTTPS mode (experimental) with self-signed certificates
  • Real-time server status display in settings
  • Deferred startup to minimize Obsidian load time
• Token-based authentication with granular permissions
  • Multiple token support with individual configurations
  • Per-token tool enablement (file access, search, content modification, dataview, quickadd)
  • Per-token directory permissions with allow/deny rules
  • Read and Write permission levels
  • Token usage tracking (last used timestamp)
  • Simplified token UI with compact rows and feature icons
• Certificate management for HTTPS
  • Automatic self-signed certificate generation
  • Certificate download via temporary HTTP server (30-second window)
  • OS-specific installation instructions (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • Certificate trust status detection
  • Certificate expiry monitoring
  • Subject Alternative Names support for custom hostnames/IPs
• Tabbed settings UI
  • Organized into Tokens, Server, Vault, and Advanced tabs
  • Inline token configuration (no modal required)
  • Copyable token values with one-click copy button
  • Feature icons matching configuration section order
  • Example MCP configurations for each token
