ObsidianClaw

Chat with your OpenClaw AI agent directly from Obsidian.

Your vault becomes the workspace. Your AI lives in the sidebar. No browser tabs, no separate apps — just your notes and your AI, side by side.

Features

  • Chat sidebar — Talk to your AI agent from any Obsidian tab
  • Streaming responses — See replies appear in real-time
  • Markdown rendering — Code blocks, lists, links rendered natively
  • Tool call visibility — See files read/written, commands run, pages fetched
  • Cross-device sync — Chat history and tool calls persist via Obsidian Sync
  • "Ask about this note" — Send any note as context with one command
  • Dark/light theme — Follows your Obsidian theme automatically

Install

Beta: Pending approval in the Obsidian Community Plugin store (PR #10465). Install via BRAT for now.

  1. In Obsidian, go to Settings → Community Plugins → Browse
  2. Search BRAT → Install → Enable
  3. Go to Settings → BRAT → Add Beta Plugin
  4. Enter: oscarhenrycollins/obsidianclaw

That's it. BRAT installs the plugin and keeps it updated. Works on desktop and mobile.

Connect

The setup wizard opens automatically after install:

  1. Gateway URL: ws://<your-tailscale-ip>:18789
  2. Auth Token: from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json → gateway.auth.token
  3. Click Test connection
  4. Approve the device from the OpenClaw dashboard or CLI: 
    openclaw devices list
openclaw devices approve <requestId>

Done. The device is remembered permanently.

Prerequisites

  • OpenClaw gateway running somewhere (Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi)
  • Tailscale on all your devices
  • Gateway bound to Tailscale: openclaw config set gateway.bind tailnet && openclaw gateway restart

⚠️ OpenClaw 2026.3.x compatibility: Versions 2026.3.1 through 2026.3.13 have a bug where app:// origins (used by Obsidian) are silently rejected by the gateway. If you're on 2026.3.x and the plugin can't connect, downgrade to 2026.2.26: npm i -g [email protected] && openclaw gateway restart. This will be resolved in a future release.

Commands

Command Description
OpenClaw: Toggle chat sidebar Open/close the chat panel
OpenClaw: Ask about current note Send the active note as context
OpenClaw: Reconnect to gateway Re-establish the connection
OpenClaw: Run setup wizard Re-run the onboarding flow

Troubleshooting

"Could not connect" / "Disconnected" — Most common cause: the gateway stopped. SSH into your gateway machine and run openclaw gateway restart. If that fixes it, the gateway had crashed. Also check: Is Tailscale running on both devices? Is the URL correct (ws://<tailscale-ip>:18789)? Is the token right?

"Pairing required" — Every new device needs a one-time approval. Run openclaw devices list and openclaw devices approve <requestId> on your gateway machine, or approve from the dashboard.

Switching devices — Force-quit Obsidian and reopen. It picks up synced data from the other device.

Security

Three layers: Tailscale encrypts all traffic (WireGuard VPN), gateway token authenticates connections, and Ed25519 device keys fingerprint each device. Your keys never leave your machine.
