mcp-obsidian and mcp-obsidian-via-rest

These two tools are competitors, as both aim to provide an MCP server for Obsidian, with OleksandrKucherenko/mcp-obsidian-via-rest explicitly stating a re-write with BUN for performance, indicating an alternative approach to fazer-ai/mcp-obsidian which also uses TypeScript and Bun.

About mcp-obsidian

fazer-ai/mcp-obsidian

MCP server for Obsidian (TypeScript + Bun)

Exposes 20+ tools for Claude to read, write, and search Obsidian vaults via the Local REST API plugin, including note CRUD operations, periodic note management, Dataview/JsonLogic querying, and command execution. Implements MCP over stdio with environment-based authentication, deployable via `bunx` directly into Claude Desktop or compatible LLM clients. Supports both active note manipulation and arbitrary file operations across the vault with fine-grained content patching (headings, block references, frontmatter).
