Description

An Obsidian plugin that exposes PDF evidence and vault context through an MCP bridge. Enables extraction of text from PDFs, searching for specific snippets, and generating PDF++ citations with precise page and selection coordinates using fuzzy matching algorithms. Provides comprehensive vault operations including markdown file management, Dataview queries, and content search. Includes a sidebar panel for displaying answers with evidence links and supports both direct HTTP API access and MCP client integration through a bundled bridge server.
