## Description

This MCP server, developed by Tom Savage, provides semantic search capabilities over an Obsidian vault and exposes recent notes as resources. Built with Python and leveraging libraries like DuckDB and sentence-transformers, it offers tools for indexing and searching notes, as well as watching for changes in the vault. The implementation stands out by using semantic search to find relevant notes and exposing them through an 'obsidian://' URL scheme. It's particularly useful for researchers, writers, and knowledge workers who want to integrate their personal knowledge base with AI assistants, enabling context-aware interactions and dynamic retrieval of relevant information from their Obsidian vaults.
