Use Mnem with Obsidian

Bring your long-term memory into your vault: MCP-capable Obsidian AI plugins can recall and remember through Mnem.

What you get

  • Recall of your memory inside Obsidian AI chat plugins that support MCP
  • Save durable notes and decisions to memory without leaving your vault
  • Mnem never modifies your vault files

Connect

Manual setup — a pasted snippet and about a minute.

  1. Pick an MCP-capable plugin

    Mnem works with Obsidian community AI plugins that support MCP servers (several chat plugins do).

  2. Copy the manual snippet

    In Mnem's Connections panel, open Obsidian → Manual setup and copy the server configuration.

  3. Add it to the plugin

    Paste the configuration into your plugin's MCP or tools settings, then reload the plugin (or restart Obsidian).

  4. Verify

    Start a chat in the plugin and confirm the mnem tools are offered.

Manual configuration

Copy the exact snippet from Mnem's Connections panel — it fills in the correct path for your installation.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mnem": {
      "command": "/Applications/Mnem.app/Contents/MacOS/mnem-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

MCP support varies by plugin and version — check the plugin's documentation if the tools don't appear. Mnem only responds to tool calls; it never reads or writes vault files on its own.
