Requires an existing Astro project and the Obsidian app installed locally.
Vault CMS turns Obsidian, the popular note taking and knowledge management app, into a content management system for websites built with Astro. The problem it solves: managing website content through code files or a separate hosted CMS tool is cumbersome. Obsidian already has a great interface for writing and organizing Markdown files, but connecting it to a website publishing workflow normally requires setup and configuration. Vault CMS bridges that gap by providing a preconfigured Obsidian workspace tailored for the Astro website framework. You install it into your Astro project with a single command, then open your content folder in Obsidian. From there you get a visual grid view of your content, bulk editing actions, and Obsidian's full editing experience such as backlinks, tags, templates, and keyboard shortcuts, all producing the Markdown files that Astro reads to build your site. The system automatically detects your Astro project structure, so there is minimal manual configuration needed. The project also offers presets for specific Astro themes like Starlight, Slate, and Chiri, which can be chosen during setup. There is also documentation and a Discord community for support, plus a video walkthrough for getting started. You would use this if you already use or want to use Obsidian for writing, and you are building a website with Astro. It gives you a polished writing environment without needing a separate hosted CMS service. It is written in JavaScript, works with most Astro themes, and can also be set up through an AI agent such as Claude Code or Cursor using an included MCP server, a way for AI tools to call structured commands.
Vault CMS turns the Obsidian note-taking app into a content editor for Astro websites, so you write Markdown in Obsidian and Astro publishes it.
