Obsidian alternative

The Obsidian alternative that talks to your AI agents

MDDock keeps the same local-first Markdown freedom as Obsidian, then adds AI memory, automatic wiki graphs, and a built-in MCP gateway so Claude, Cursor, and any agent can read and write your vault β€” with full context.

Why users switch from Obsidian

AI memory, not just search

Obsidian searches keywords. MDDock recalls meaning, links, and past judgments so your AI answers cite what you actually wrote.

Office round-trip built in

Import Word, PDF, PowerPoint, and Excel directly to Markdown. Export back when colleagues need Office formats. No plugin hunt.

Agent-native MCP gateway

Point Claude Desktop or Cursor at MDDock's MCP server. Agents get ten tools β€” search, recall, write, compile wiki, and more β€” backed by your local vault.

Obsidian is powerful. MDDock is purpose-built for the AI era.
