What does it do?
It hosts public releases of Obsidian and the directories that list community plugins and themes (add-ons and appearance packages for Obsidian). [1a][1b] It does not contain Obsidian’s source code. [2] A plugin or theme developer can submit a plugin or theme for inclusion in those directories. [3]

@hyikal_ @DeepSquid69 The Markdown files are portable, but the Obsidian app itself isn’t open source. Easy distinction to miss with all the community plugins. Their own repo clarifies it here: obsidianmd/obsidian-releases

Checking the Obsidian plugin directory from a skill, CLI, or MCP server Ask a coding agent to build an Obsidian plugin and it just starts writing. It can't tell if one already exists. This lets it search the official directory (about 9,000 plugins, 880 themes) first and get matches with downloads, latest version and last update. How it works: it reads the three public JSON files from obsidianmd/obsidian-releases, joins them, and returns the top results, so the agent never reads the raw 5 MB. Read-only, no telemetry, no API key. MIT and free. In the video I ask Claude Code for the newest anatomy plugins. It loads the skill, runs the search and answers from the live directory. (Anatomed, the first result, is my own plugin.) It ships three ways from one package: an MCP server, a CLI, and a skill that calls the CLI. The skill is lighter on context if your agent has a terminal. Try it: npx -y obsidian-community-plugins-mcp search <your idea> - GitHub: pitfa19/obsidian-community-plugins-mcp - npm: npmjs.com - Obsidian forum thread: forum.obsidian.md - Source data: obsidianmd/obsidian-releases
