How auto-repair works (Pro)

repair_vault only makes additive changes:

• Broken [[links]] → replaced with plain text (the link text is preserved)
• Missing frontmatter → adds a default YAML block with title and type

It never deletes files, removes content, or modifies existing frontmatter values.

Pro tier

The free tier detects every category of vault rot. The Pro tier unlocks repair_vault — one call to fix the safe categories automatically.

License activation — any one of these works:

# 1. Environment variable
export VAULT_HEALTH_LICENSE="eyJhbGc..."

# 2. CLI flag
vault-health-mcp --license-key "eyJhbGc..." --vault ~/my-vault

# 3. Config file
echo "eyJhbGc..." > ~/.vault-health-mcp/license.jwt

Licenses are verified fully offline — no phone-home, no activation server. Get a license: [coming soon — Dodo Payments storefront in verification].

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• An Obsidian vault (any size)
