…dev#29) Implemented two new MCP tools to expose Obsidian's command palette functionality: **New Tools:** 1. `list_obsidian_commands` - Lists all available Obsidian commands with their IDs and names 2. `execute_obsidian_command` - Executes a command by its ID **Use Cases:** - Automated daily note creation respecting plugin configurations - External triggering of plugin-specific workflows - Command palette automation through MCP integration - Integration with AI assistants for workflow automation **Implementation:** - Leverages existing Local REST API `/commands/` endpoints - Uses proper schema validation with empty object for no-arg tools - Includes descriptive examples in tool descriptions - URL-encodes command IDs to handle special characters safely **Example commands that can be executed:** - `daily-notes` - Create today's daily note - `editor:toggle-bold` - Toggle bold formatting - `workspace:split-vertical` - Split workspace vertically - Plugin-specific commands from installed plugins This allows MCP clients like Claude Desktop to discover and execute any Obsidian command, enabling powerful automation while respecting plugin settings and templates. Fixes jacksteamdev#29
- Test list_obsidian_commands schema structure - Test execute_obsidian_command schema with commandId argument - Test command ID validation and type checking - Test URL encoding for command IDs with special characters - Test encoding of colons, slashes, spaces in command IDs - Test ApiCommandsResponse and ApiCommand schema structures - Test integration between listing and executing commands - Verify common Obsidian command patterns are properly encoded
