+## Config file
+
+The server can read settings from a YAML config file:
+
+- Default: `~/.config/mcp-obsidian-cli/config.yaml`
+- With `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mcp-obsidian-cli/config.yaml`
+
+Config file format:
+```yaml
+vault: "my-vault"
+cliPath: "obsidian"
+timeoutMs: 15000
+```
+
+Config precedence: env vars > config file > hardcoded defaults
