Taskforge

A local MCP server that lets an assistant read and write tasks and notes stored as Markdown files in a folder or Obsidian vault.

What it does

TaskForge runs on the user's machine and works against a Markdown folder or Obsidian vault, giving the assistant access to the tasks and notes kept there. The registry description says it is a local MCP server for tasks and notes in any Markdown folder or Obsidian vault, and that no account is needed. The manifest does not list individual tools, so the exact set of operations is not documented in the supplied material.

When to use it

Worth considering when tasks and notes already live as Markdown files, for example in an Obsidian vault, and the assistant should work with them directly on the local machine. It is not aimed at hosted or shared task services, and it requires a desktop environment.

Requirements

Runs as a local process over stdio, installed from the npm package taskforge-md and started with npx, so Node.js is needed. The environment variable TASKFORGE_VAULT is required and must be set to the absolute path of the vault folder the server reads and writes. No account or authentication is declared. Desktop only; not executable in a browser.
