About
Unyly Vault MCP
Connect Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor to your personal Unyly Vault — a markdown knowledge base that lives in the cloud, synced to your account at unyly.org/vault.
Once installed, Claude gets the following tools:
- vault_search — full-text search across all your notes
- vault_list — list notes (filter by tag, pinned, favorite, daily)
- vault_get — fetch a single note (incl. backlinks)
- vault_create — create a new markdown note
- vault_update — edit an existing note
- vault_backlinks — find every note that links to a slug
Setup (one command)
curl -fsSL https://unyly.org/install | sh -s -- install unyly-vault
The CLI:
- Detects the
unyly-vaultslug → opens browser → you confirm in-page - Issues a personal token bound to your account
- Writes the right config for every MCP-aware IDE on your machine — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor — with the auth header already filled in
Already have the CLI? Just unyly install unyly-vault.
Why bother
Unlike a local Obsidian vault, your second brain is now available to every Claude session — even on a different machine or via the web app. Notes you write in browser-based Vault are instantly visible to Claude. Notes Claude creates via tools land back in your Vault.
It's a true two-way "second brain" backed by the marketplace where you also discover new MCPs.
