obsidian-mcp-server and mcp-obsidian-via-rest
These two tools are competitors, as both aim to provide a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with an Obsidian vault, with the second project explicitly stating it's a re-write.

cyanheads/obsidian-mcp-server
Obsidian Knowledge-Management MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI agents and development tools to interact with an Obsidian vault. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools for reading, writing, searching, and managing notes, tags, and frontmatter, acting as a bridge to the Obsidian Local REST API plugin.
This project acts as a bridge, enabling external AI assistants and other software tools to interact directly with your Obsidian knowledge vault. It takes your Obsidian notes, tags, and frontmatter as input, allowing these tools to read, write, search, and manage your knowledge base. It's designed for developers and power users who want to integrate Obsidian into automated workflows or AI-powered applications.

OleksandrKucherenko/mcp-obsidian-via-rest
MCP Server connected to Obsidian Vault with Local REST API. (re-write it completely with BUN to make it faster and more lightweight)
This tool helps knowledge workers, researchers, and content creators unlock the full potential of their Obsidian notes by integrating them with AI assistants. It acts as a bridge, allowing AI to search, retrieve, and semantically analyze content from your Obsidian vault.
