NasAndNora/obsidian-http-mcp
First HTTP-native MCP server for Obsidian - Compatible with any MCP client (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, etc.) without stdio bugs
Implements HTTP transport bridging between MCP clients and Obsidian's Local REST API plugin, bypassing stdio reliability issues affecting Claude Code CLI. Features intelligent caching (70% fewer API calls), fuzzy search with typo tolerance, soft-delete protection, and sub-200ms response times even with 1000+ notes. Designed for cross-platform setups (Windows/WSL2/Linux) with straightforward 1-minute configuration using Node.js.
About mcp-obsidian
Piotr1215/mcp-obsidian
simple mcp server for interacting with local obsidian notes
Implements MCP (Model Context Protocol) compliance with direct file system access to Obsidian vaults—eliminating the requirement for the Obsidian app to run. Features advanced search with regex and boolean operators, metadata parsing (frontmatter and inline tags), resource links for HATEOAS navigation, and MOC discovery for vault structure mapping. Integrates with Claude Desktop and works with obsidian.nvim setups via stdio transport with security-first design including path traversal prevention.
