Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers — install paths, tools, quality signals, and directory engagement so you can pick the right one for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
Local-first Obsidian vault MCP server for Codex, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients. Works directly with markdown files, no Obsidian plugin, API key, cloud service, or running Obsidian app required. Includes read-only mode, backup-on-write, path isolation, and setup examples.
Local RAG system for Claude Code with hybrid search (BM25 + semantic), cross-encoder reranking, markdown-aware chunking, query expansion, and 28 MCP tools. Runs entirely offline with zero external servers.
