Install Obsidian Everywhere in LM Studio

What you need first

  • LM Studio, installed.
  • Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
  • Your own value for YOUR_VAULT_PATH.

Steps

  1. In LM Studio, open the Program tab and choose Install › Edit mcp.json.
  2. Add this block. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the entry inside it.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "obsidian-everywhere": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "[email protected]", "YOUR_VAULT_PATH"]
    }
  }
}
  1. Replace YOUR_VAULT_PATH with your own value.
  2. Save the file and restart LM Studio.

Check it worked

Ask LM Studio: List the tools of obsidian-everywhere.

If it does not start

spawn npx ENOENT
Node.js is not on the PATH that LM Studio sees. Install it, or write the full path of npx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
Nothing changes after a restart
The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
