# Obsidian CLI read transport

Read and search your Obsidian vault from the command line

## What this does

You want to look something up in your Obsidian vault without opening Obsidian. This uses Obsidian's own command-line tool to read and search the vault, and it only reads: nothing gets changed this way. Reach for it for a search, a lookup of backlinks or tags, or to see how the vault is being reached.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Search my vault without opening the app
- Look up backlinks and tags
- Check which way my vault is being reached

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Obsidian CLI read transport

This detects and uses the official Obsidian command-line interface for read-only access to a vault. Reads, searches, backlinks and tags go through it; the vault itself is untouched.

Use it for Obsidian CLI work, vault reads and searches, or when the question is which transport is in play and whether it is available. Anything that changes files goes through the claude-obsidian transaction core instead.
