About
Bidirectional sync between personal and team Obsidian vaults.
README
A FastMCP server for bidirectional sync between a personal Obsidian vault and a shared team vault. Designed for teams where one person (the vault owner) maintains the source of truth and shares selected content with collaborators via a shared folder (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
vault_sync_status |
Show pending changes, stale files, and last sync time |
vault_sync_push |
Push eligible files from personal vault to team vault |
vault_sync_pull |
Pull changes from team vault back to personal vault |
vault_scope_check |
Check if a specific file is eligible for sync |
Both push and pull default to dry_run: true — you always preview before executing.
Install
Open Claude Code, paste:
/plugin marketplace add adelaidasofia/vault-sync-mcp
/plugin install vault-sync-mcp@vault-sync-mcp
Then edit config.yaml to set your vault paths and sync rules:
personal_vault: ~/vault/
team_vault: ~/team-vault/
Restart Claude Code. Then ask:
"Show me vault sync status" "Push changes to team vault (dry run first)"
Legacy install
pip install fastmcp python-frontmatter pyyaml xxhash
Clone:
git clone https://github.com/adelaidasofia/vault-sync-mcp.git cd vault-sync-mcpEdit
config.yamlto set your vault paths and sync rules:personal_vault: ~/vault/ team_vault: ~/team-vault/Register with Claude Code:
claude mcp add vault-sync -s user -- python3 /path/to/vault-sync-mcp/server.pyRestart Claude Code. Then ask:
"Show me vault sync status" "Push changes to team vault (dry run first)"
Configuration
Everything lives in config.yaml:
personal_vault: ~/vault/
team_vault: ~/team-vault/
no_sync:
- "Journal/"
- "Personal/"
sync_rules:
- path: "Team/"
direction: bidirectional
- path: "CRM/"
direction: personal_to_team
filter:
frontmatter_field: relationship
frontmatter_values: [client, team, advisor]
Sync rule directions
bidirectional— changes flow both wayspersonal_to_team— personal is source of truth, team gets updatesteam_to_personal— team is source of truth, personal gets updates (useful for shared docs)
Blocking sync on a file
Add sync: false to any file's frontmatter to exclude it from all sync operations.
Environment variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
VAULT_SYNC_PERSONAL |
from config.yaml | Personal vault root path |
VAULT_SYNC_TEAM |
from config.yaml | Team vault root path |
Notes
- Uses
os.walk(followlinks=True)instead ofPath.rglob()to correctly handle macOS symlinks (Google Drive, iCloud shortcuts) - Wikilinks are automatically rewritten to bare filenames during push (
[[folder/Note]]becomes[[Note]]) - Content hashing via xxhash for fast change detection
- Conflict resolution: newer file wins; conflicts are logged and skipped

Telemetry
This plugin sends a single anonymous install signal to myceliumai.co the first time it loads in a Claude Code session on a given machine.
What is sent:
- Plugin name (e.g.
slack-mcp) - Plugin version (e.g.
0.1.0)
What is NOT sent:
- No user identifiers, names, emails, tokens, or API keys
- No file paths, message content, or anything from your work
- No IP address is stored after dedup processing
Why: Helps the maintainer know which plugins people actually install, so attention goes to the ones that get used.
Opt out: Set the environment variable MYCELIUM_NO_PING=1 before launching Claude Code. The hook will skip the network call entirely. Already-pinged installs leave a sentinel at ~/.mycelium/onboarded-<plugin> — delete it if you want to reset state.
