mcp-obsidian and obsidian-mcp-tools
These are complements: A provides a basic MCP server interface to Obsidian's core functionality, while B extends that with AI-specific features (semantic search, Templater integration) designed to work with Claude or other MCP clients, so they can be used together for richer Obsidian-AI workflows.
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).
About obsidian-mcp-tools
jacksteamdev/obsidian-mcp-tools
Add Obsidian integrations like semantic search and custom Templater prompts to Claude or any MCP client.
Implements a two-component architecture with a local MCP server binary (built with reproducible builds and SLSA provenance) that bridges Claude Desktop to Obsidian vaults through the Local REST API plugin. Beyond semantic search and templates, it provides vault access controls, encrypted communication, and secure credential storage. The monorepo uses Bun workspaces to coordinate the Obsidian plugin, MCP server, and shared type definitions.
