altium-designer-mcp vs obsidian-mcp-connector

altium-designer-mcp: altium-designer-mcp is an MCP server that provides file I/O and primitive placement tools so AI assistants such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop and VS Code Copilot can create and manage Altium Designer component libraries. The AI handles the decisions, such as IPC-7351B calculations and package layout, while the tool handles file I/O.; obsidian-mcp-connector: MCP Connector lets AI applications such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code securely access your Obsidian vault. The plugin hosts the MCP server inside Obsidian and runs semantic search entirely on-device.
