FAQ from local-llm-obsidian-knowledge-base

What is an MCP Client/Server relationship?

It refers to a system where a client application (e.g., a VS Code extension) communicates with a server to manage and synchronize files or data. In this case, it's used to update the Obsidian knowledge base.

Why use a dev container?

A dev container provides a consistent and reproducible development environment, ensuring that the LLM and related tools are configured correctly.

What is the benefit of using a local LLM?

Using a local LLM offers greater privacy, control, and the ability to work offline. It also avoids reliance on external APIs and potential data sharing.

Can I use a different MCP client than 'Cline'?

Yes, you can use any MCP client that is compatible with the 'Filesystem'/'Obsidian-MCP' server. 'Cline' is just one example.

How do I update the knowledge base?

The knowledge base is updated using the MCP client to synchronize changes between your local files and the server. The specific steps will depend on the client you are using.
