mcp-obsidian-advanced and mcp-obsidian-via-rest
These two tools are competitors, as both aim to provide an MCP server for interacting with an Obsidian vault via the Local REST API, with one explicitly stating a re-write for performance improvements over the other's more feature-rich approach.
About mcp-obsidian-advanced
ToKiDoO/mcp-obsidian-advanced
Advanced MCP server for interacting with Obsidian via the Local REST API community plugin. It empowers AI agents (like Claude) to deeply understand your vault's structure, links, and content—beyond basic read/write operations.
Leverages the obsidiantools library and NetworkX graph analysis to expose vault topology and bidirectional note relationships as structured data for LLM reasoning. Implements 20+ granular tools spanning file operations, full-text/JsonLogic search, command execution, and vault introspection—with granular tool filtering via `INCLUDE_TOOLS` environment variable. Integrates with Claude Desktop and any MCP-compatible client through the Obsidian Local REST API plugin, communicating over HTTP to a running Obsidian instance.
