TaskNotes

Multi-modal task management for Obsidian TaskNotes vaults. The skill probes the environment first and routes to the best available access method.


Step 0 - Environment probe

Run before any operation. Determines which path to take.

Bundled help: This skill includes references/tasknotes-help.md with step-by-step setup instructions, full API endpoint reference, and troubleshooting for all failure modes. Read it yourself when connection or setup issues arise, and share the relevant sections with the user to guide them through fixes.

1. MCP available?

Run tool_search("tasknotes"). If tasknotes: tools load successfully, the MCP server is live.

If they do not load, do not conclude the server is down. Since plugin v4.13.0 the MCP endpoint requires a bearer token, and a client configured without one fails at connect time, so the tools never appear at all. Check 2 below - a 401 there means the server is running and the client is simply unauthenticated.

2. HTTP API available?
