obsidian-rest-api skillA

obsidian-rest-api is agent-read markdown (skill) from davepoon/buildwithclaude: Call the Obsidian Local REST API directly (over HTTP) for vault operations the mcp__obsidian__* tools do NOT expose — move/rename a note, overwrite a whole file atomically (PUT), act on the currently-open active file, run an Obsidian command, open a note in the UI, list all tags, or do date-specific periodic-note CRUD. Prefer the mcp__obsidian__* tools for plain read/append/patch/delete/search; fall back to this skill only when the required method is missing from MCP..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/obsidian-rest-api@git:20260703.db0a897
Exact content
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/obsidian-rest-api@sha256:2bc498880a0441df

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
