## What it is
Smart Composer is an Obsidian plugin that adds an AI chat assistant with contextual awareness of your vault, smart writing assistance, and one-click edits. It supports vault-aware conversations, semantic search over notes, multiple LLM providers including local models, and MCP integration.

## Use cases
- chat with AI about my Obsidian notes without re-pasting context
- apply AI-suggested edits to my notes with one click
- semantically search my vault to find relevant notes for a query
- use a local LLM for private AI-assisted writing in Obsidian
- connect external tools to the AI assistant via MCP
- get smart writing assistance while taking notes

## When to choose
- you use Obsidian and want AI help grounded in your existing notes
- you want Cursor-style AI editing inside a markdown vault
- you prefer local models or connecting existing Claude/OpenAI/Gemini accounts
- you need MCP support to extend the assistant with external tools

## When to avoid
- you need a plugin under active development with fast issue turnaround - it is single-maintainer maintenance mode
- you are unwilling to accept the account-ban risk of subscription OAuth flows
- you use editors other than Obsidian
- you want a standalone AI chat app independent of a note vault
