Setup route
Follow the linked maintainer installation guide. Review dependencies and permissions before running third-party code.
Node.js 22 or newer and an accessible vault folder; CouchDB is optional.
Limitations
Filesystem mode edits vault files without requiring the Obsidian application; optional sync mode uses CouchDB.
