obsidian-http-mcp and obsidian-mcp-server
These two tools are competitors, as both aim to provide an MCP server for Obsidian, with "NasAndNora/obsidian-http-mcp" specifically addressing "stdio bugs" often found in non-HTTP-native implementations like the one likely used by "ConnorBritain/obsidian-mcp-server."
