Shipping, continuously.

Minor Changes

• aa0a6c3: seekstone init --client vscode — auto-detect your vault and print or (with --write) create/merge the workspace .vscode/mcp.json for GitHub Copilot in VS Code, handling VS Code's config quirks (servers key instead of mcpServers, explicit "type": "stdio"). Same additive merge + backup behavior as the other client writers. init now also resolves relative --vault paths to absolute before writing any client config, so the spawned server always finds the vault regardless of the client's working directory.

Minor Changes

• 0bb43fc: seekstone init --client cursor — auto-detect your vault and print or (with --write) patch ~/.cursor/mcp.json, with the same additive merge + backup behavior as the Claude Desktop writer. Cursor joins Claude Desktop and Claude Code as a first-class documented client.
• 04271ed: New query_notes tool — a second search mode alongside full-text search. Filter notes by frontmatter key/value predicates (eq, ne, contains, exists, missing, gt/gte/lt/lte), tag, folder, modified time, and size, with sort, field selection, and limit. Returns compact rows (path + title by default; opt into frontmatter keys or mtime/size/tags via select) — never note content — so a full 10k-note vault scan costs ~350 bytes of context.

Patch Changes

• 8c5ddb7: Add npm keywords for the adjacent discovery clusters Seekstone was absent from: claude-code, second-brain, chatgpt, cursor, connect-claude-to-obsidian, mcp-server.

Patch Changes

• cdf659a: Consolidate on the canonical npm name seekstone. The obsidian-mcp-seekstone discoverability alias is deprecated: its README is now a migration notice, and all install docs point at npx -y seekstone. Existing alias installs keep working. This is the alias's final release.

Minor Changes

• a61612c: feat(search): slim the search payload below mcpvault, add a tunable excerpt length

  search results are now leaner with no loss of usable information: the response is minified, score is rounded to 2 decimals, and title/tags are omitted when redundant (title equals the path basename) or empty — both remain optional on each hit. A new excerptLength parameter (default 120, min 20 / max 2000) lets callers trade match context for an even smaller payload.

  On the committed 10k-note fixture this drops the mean search payload to ~2 KB, making seekstone the smallest payload of every benchmarked Obsidian MCP server (below mcpvault at every vault size) while staying the fastest on latency.

Patch Changes

• 0a192cc: fix(mcpb): shard the bundle under Claude Desktop's ~108KB per-file install cap

  The .mcpb one-click install silently broke as of v0.4.0: Claude Desktop's local install preview rejects a bundle if any single file exceeds ~108KB, and the fully-bundled dist/index.js is ~1.7MB. The bundle is now split into <95KB shards that a small loader reassembles at startup, so the install dialog appears again. A build-time guard fails the build if any packed file exceeds the cap.

Patch Changes

• cc3bd9d: Point package homepage at the new site, https://seekstone.dev (was the GitHub readme).

Patch Changes

• d1a7fb1: Bump chokidar from 4.x to 5.x (bundled dependency — no API surface change for consumers).
• 3bafa80: Bump zod from 3.x to 4.x (bundled dependency — no API surface change for consumers).
• d2ac3d5: Fix watcher silently dropping all events on Windows when the vault path contains 8.3 short names (e.g. RUNNER~1). chokidar's followSymlinks: true expands short paths to long form via realpath(), causing relative() to produce .. segments that the dot-directory filter incorrectly matched. Now resolves the vault root via realpathSync at startup so path comparisons are consistent.
• 2cda8b8: Bound replace_in_note's find parameter to 1000 chars at the schema boundary, capping the size of any caller-supplied pattern in regex: true mode (ReDoS / self-DoS guard). Also converts an internal new RegExp(constant.source) in the link extractor to a direct regex literal — behavior-neutral, removes a per-line allocation, and clears a Codacy non-literal-RegExp false positive.
• 2d9588f: Add a process-level unhandledRejection guard to the server entrypoint. A stray unhandled promise rejection now logs to stderr and the long-lived stdio session stays up (preserving the in-memory index) instead of crashing the user's MCP session. uncaughtException is intentionally left to Node's default crash behaviour.

Minor Changes

• dd136ae: Add get_periodic_note and append_periodic_note tools for filesystem-direct access to daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly periodic notes. Reads folder/format/template config from .obsidian/daily-notes.json and the periodic-notes plugin data.json with moment.js-compatible date tokens. No running Obsidian required.

Patch Changes

• 0d7e2d1: Add HTML reporter to server vitest coverage config so --coverage runs generate an interactive report at coverage/index.html.
• 95c6f0b: Sync manifest.json version to 0.5.0 (was left at 0.3.0 after changeset release) and ignore the mcp-publisher binary from git.

Minor Changes

• c430b48: Add replace_in_note tool — literal and regex find/replace within a note body. Supports case-insensitive matching (default), whole-word boundaries, capture-group backreferences in regex mode, a replacement limit, and a dry-run preview mode. Frontmatter is never touched.

Patch Changes

• c3d3cda: Fix serverInfo.version in MCP handshake — was hardcoded to "0.1.0" instead of using the build-time version constant. MCP clients that surface server metadata now see the correct version.

Patch Changes

• 3e47cd8: Fix serverInfo.version in MCP handshake — was hardcoded to "0.1.0" instead of using the build-time version constant. MCP clients that surface server metadata now see the correct version.

Minor Changes

• 3ec5e67: Add five new tools, read_note range selectors, and Claude Code init support

  New tools:

  • list_tags — lists every tag across the vault with per-tag note counts
  • outline_note — returns the heading structure of a note as a nested tree
  • patch_note — replaces a specific section of a note's body without rewriting the whole file
  • get_links — returns all wikilinks and embeds in a note with resolved vault-relative paths and line numbers
  • get_backlinks — returns all notes that link to a given note, with line numbers and optional excerpts; backed by a reverse-link index built at startup and maintained incrementally by the file watcher

  read_note range selectors:

  Three new optional selectors narrow the response to a sub-region of the note: section (by heading name), block (by block reference ^id), and lines ({ from, to }). Only one selector may be used per call. The response includes a span: { charStart, charEnd } field for the selected range.

  seekstone init — Claude Code support:

  seekstone init --client code --write now auto-writes the MCP config directly into Claude Code's settings file, with the same timestamped-backup safety as the Desktop variant.

Patch Changes

• 3ec5e67: Fix watcher ignored-path guard and MCPB bundle crash

  • Watcher: guard against empty relative paths in the ignored callback. Paths that resolved to an empty string (e.g. the vault root itself during chokidar's initial scan) could be evaluated incorrectly, risking file events being missed on some configurations.
  • MCPB: fully bundle all dependencies to fix an Error: require('process') is not supported crash on ESM environments. Also improves the vault picker description and bumps the bundle to manifest v0.4.

Minor Changes

• f6f6770: Auto-detect the Obsidian vault in seekstone init

  When --vault is omitted and SEEKSTONE_VAULT is not set, seekstone init now reads Obsidian's own vault registry (obsidian.json) to find known vaults automatically. One vault → auto-selected and validated. Multiple vaults → lists them numbered with a --vault re-run hint. Registry missing/malformed → falls back to the existing "pass --vault" guidance.

• f2c6d7c: Ship Seekstone as a one-click MCP Bundle (MCPB)

  Adds a seekstone.mcpb build artifact that lets non-developers install Seekstone in Claude Desktop with a double-click and a vault directory picker — no terminal, no JSON editing required. The bundle packages dist/index.js and manifest.json into a 15 KB zip. CI attaches it to every GitHub Release.

  The npx -y seekstone path is unchanged.

Patch Changes

• 26267bd: Add mcpName field required by the official MCP registry for package ownership verification.

Patch Changes

• 326ccf3: Add the mcp-name package field (io.github.shaqmughal/seekstone) so the package can be verified and listed in the official MCP registry.

Minor Changes

• 6a15f9a: Add CLI conveniences for setup and inspection:

  • seekstone init — validate an Obsidian vault and print the Claude config to paste, or patch the Claude Desktop config in place with --write (creates a timestamped backup and never touches your other MCP servers). Supports --vault, --client desktop|code.
  • seekstone --version and seekstone --help.

Minor Changes

• d0a6a98: Initial public release of the Seekstone MCP server — a filesystem-direct Obsidian vault server with low context-tax.

  • Reads the vault directly from disk (no Obsidian app or Local REST API plugin required), returning small payloads instead of multi-megabyte responses.
  • 8 tools over stdio: search, read_note, list_notes, create_note, delete_note, move_note, append_note, patch_frontmatter.
  • In-memory MiniSearch full-text index, kept in sync by a cross-platform (chokidar) file watcher; SEEKSTONE_WATCH_POLL=1 for network drives / WSL.
  • Structured leveled logging to stderr with an opt-in JSON-lines file (SEEKSTONE_LOG_LEVEL, SEEKSTONE_LOG_FILE); never writes to stdout.
  • Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows (Node.js ≥ 22). Install with npx -y seekstone.
