Our take

Vault Cortex is an Obsidian-focused server for searching notes, handling tasks, and treating a vault as a memory layer for agents. It is for Obsidian users who want richer retrieval and automation than a basic filesystem connector provides. The positioning is clear and the feature list is substantial, but the OCI-only distribution and low public footprint make it feel promising yet still relatively early.
