What can ModuleX do with Obsidian?

A ModuleX agent can run any of Obsidian's 15 actions, across files, notes, patch notes and searches, from a plain-English request, using your organization's own Obsidian credentials.

Does the Obsidian integration need a pre-built workflow?

No. The agent selects the right Obsidian action from your prompt. A workflow is only needed when you want a repeatable process, and the composer builds that for you from a description.

How does ModuleX authenticate with Obsidian?

Via your own Obsidian API key, stored encrypted and scoped to your organization.

How many Obsidian actions are available?

15, spanning files, notes, patch notes and searches.

Is Obsidian free to use in ModuleX?

Obsidian runs on your own credentials, so any Obsidian usage is billed by Obsidian directly. ModuleX meters the agent run, and if you connect your own model keys there's no ModuleX markup on model usage.

Put Obsidian to work View Obsidian integration docs

The ModuleX Obsidian integration lets a ModuleX agent operate Obsidian on your behalf, running create, remove and find actions across files, notes and patch notes, directly from a plain-English request, using your organization's own Obsidian credentials. No pre-built workflow is required: the agent picks the right Obsidian action for the task.

Obsidian is a productivity & collaboration platform. ModuleX adds the agent layer: ask for an outcome and it selects and runs the right Obsidian action. Or, when you want a repeatable process, the composer assembles a Obsidian workflow for you, streaming the nodes onto the canvas as it builds.

Drive Obsidian in plain English

Type what you want. A ModuleX agent picks the right Obsidian action, or chains several, and runs it. No workflow to build.

Two ways to use Obsidian in ModuleX

Ask the assistantType what you want done and a ModuleX agent picks the right Obsidian action and runs it. No workflow to build.

Compose a workflowNeed it to happen every time? Describe the process and the composer wires Obsidian into a repeatable workflow you can run on a schedule, from chat, or as an API.

Connecting Obsidian

API keyObsidian uses API-key authentication. You provide your own Obsidian secret key; ModuleX encrypts it and scopes it to your organization, so your whole team can use Obsidian without re-authenticating.

Step-by-step setup in the Obsidian docs

Works with Obsidian

Agents often chain Obsidian with these. Connect them once and one agent can use all of them in a single task.
