…jacksteamdev#28) Added detailed documentation for users who need to install the MCP server binary outside their Obsidian vault directory, particularly for users affected by cloud sync services (OneDrive, Google Drive) that automatically remove executable files. **New Documentation Includes:** 1. **Step-by-step installation guide:** - Creating external installation directory - Downloading the correct platform binary - Setting executable permissions - Manual MCP client configuration 2. **Platform-specific paths:** - macOS/Linux: ~/.local/share/obsidian-mcp-tools/bin/ - Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\obsidian-mcp-tools\bin\ 3. **Complete configuration examples:** - JSON configuration with absolute paths - Environment variable setup - API key integration 4. **Benefits clearly outlined:** - Cloud sync compatibility - Binary/data separation - Multi-vault support - Independent update management This provides a workaround for issue jacksteamdev#28 until native UI support for custom installation paths can be implemented. Users can now manually install the server outside their vault and configure it to work with any MCP client. Addresses jacksteamdev#28
