Configurable file path permissions #1

Great project! This is the most complete official MCP server I have seen for a more mature PKM + task management solution. Definitely considering switching to Noteplan + Obsidian now.

There just might be one thing missing: the ability to configure which file paths the MCP client / LLMs can access. For example I might have regular sensitivity folders that I don't care about giving out access to, but I might want to exclude a specific folder which contains sensitive or irrelevant information.

It could optionally be made more granular so that you can control which file path...

  • the semantic search
  • the global search
  • ...
    can access

And furthermore in the future, with this in mind, may be there can be compatibility of multiple MCP servers hosting the same NotePlan instance, just for different folder paths for access separation.

In terms of how to get this to be customizable... a brand new UX is complex and unnecessary, but what about just a (hidden?) noteplan file at the root directory, kinda like a gitignore? So that everyone can easily customize MCP permissions within the app... maybe even nested ignore files

or just use a regex filename filter
