obsidian-mcp-server and obsidian-mcp-tools
These are complements that address different integration patterns: one provides a general-purpose MCP server for vault access, while the other adds specialized features (semantic search, Templater integration) that could run on top of or alongside an MCP server to enhance Claude's Obsidian capabilities.
