Tools

Open-source, agent-friendly BI: define metrics and dashboards in YAML and SQL, and rill init generates project instructions and MCP config for Claude Code so agents can build business dashboards and answer questions in natural language. Local use is free; publishing to Rill Cloud needs an account.

A native x64dbg plugin that works as an MCP server, exposing dozens of debugging tools: agents can set breakpoints, step through code, read and write memory, analyze PE structure and locate the OEP of packed binaries. Windows only; install the plugin in x64dbg, then connect with a token.

Bright Data's official MCP: web search (Google, Bing, Yandex), any page to Markdown, structured data extraction from e-commerce, social and other platforms, and remote browser control. Needs an API token; includes 5,000 free requests a month.

Scans codebases and dependencies for open-source licenses, copyright notices and package manifests, detecting licenses by full-text matching, with output in JSON, SPDX, CycloneDX and more, for open-source compliance reviews.

Simon Willison's website screenshot CLI: batch screenshots from YAML, record demo videos, export PDF and HTML, run JavaScript in pages to extract data, and dump accessibility trees. Built on Playwright; install a browser on first use.

Runs open image models like FLUX, Qwen Image and Z-Image locally on a Mac: text-to-image, reference-based edits, inpainting and upscaling, all on-device. Needs Apple Silicon and uv; the first run downloads models and is slow. Check each model's license before commercial use.

Four tools for real-time web search, page content extraction, site mapping and full-site crawling, available as a remote server or run locally. Maintained by Tavily; needs an API key or OAuth sign-in, and a free account is available.

Uses hooks to enforce test-driven development in Claude Code: blocks implementation without a failing test, prevents code beyond what tests require, and can use lint results to push refactoring. Needs Node.js 22+. Still maintained, but the author suggests its successor Probity for new projects.

MiniMax's official CLI, built for agents: chat with MiniMax models from the terminal and generate images, video and speech, plus speech transcription, image understanding and web search. Works with the international platform. Requires a MiniMax Token Plan subscription.

A CLI and Python library by Simon Willison: imports JSON and CSV straight into SQLite with automatic table creation, runs in-memory SQL queries over files, and supports full-text search and table transformations.

Self-hostable long-term memory for agents, offering MCP, a REST API and a web dashboard: semantic search, knowledge graph and automatic memory consolidation. Embeddings are computed locally; choose SQLite, Cloudflare or Milvus as the backend.

The Linux Foundation's open-source compliance toolchain: analyzes project dependencies, scans licenses and copyrights, checks known vulnerabilities, flags policy violations and generates SBOMs and notice files. Needs Java 25 or Docker and ideally 8 GB RAM; have legal review license findings.

550+ medical research skills from AIPOCH: PubMed search strategy, study design and sample size, statistics and bioinformatics, journal writing and reviewer responses, all vetted by MedSkillAudit. Some need Python/R or database credentials; have researchers and clinicians review results.

Before tool calls run, blocks destructive Git and file commands (git reset --hard, rm -rf) and access to sensitive files like SSH keys and .env. Parses command semantics, so bash -c wrappers are caught too. Works with Claude Code, Codex and other coding CLIs; needs Node.js 18+.

MathWorks' official server that lets agents start your local MATLAB, write and run scripts and unit tests, and check code style and potential errors, for computing, simulation and data analysis. Needs a licensed MATLAB R2021a+ and the downloaded server binary.

Recommends daily papers from arXiv and Semantic Scholar by research interest, reads them and writes illustrated Obsidian notes and a paper graph; can also search venues like CVPR and NeurIPS. Needs Python 3, Obsidian, a vault path and an interests config; the web app needs an Anthropic API key.

From Harvard Medical School's Zitnik Lab: one MCP connecting 1,000+ scientific tools and databases for drugs and targets, genes and proteins, clinical trials, FDA data and PubMed, for biomedical and drug research. Runs with uv; some sources need API keys; medical conclusions need expert review.

Lets agents drive WinDbg's CDB/KD to analyze crash dumps, debug user-mode processes remotely and debug kernels, and triage many dumps in a batch. Windows only; requires WinDbg or Debugging Tools for Windows.

Uses the Qdrant vector database as a semantic memory layer for agents: store information and retrieve it by meaning, connecting to a remote instance or a local path, with FastEmbed generating embeddings by default. Maintained by Qdrant.

Connects LLMs to ROS and ROS 2 robots: publish and subscribe to topics, call services and actions, set parameters, and read sensor and robot state, without changing robot code. The robot side needs rosbridge running.

Lets Claude Code watch videos: extracts frames with ffmpeg and transcribes timestamped audio from local files or YouTube links, to review footage, summarize lectures or find on-screen text. Needs Node.js 20+ and ffmpeg (yt-dlp for YouTube); transcribe with local Whisper or a Gemini/OpenAI key.

Self-hosted engine that maps lab results, checkup reports and wearable data to standard metrics so agents can chart trends, citing the source file for every number. uvx mirobody mcp gives the coding tools; full records need Docker and an LLM API key. A doctor should review results.

Gives agents controlled access to MySQL: list databases and tables, inspect schemas and sample data, and run SQL, with multi-database mode, SSL and SSH tunnels. Configure your own database user, ideally with least privilege.

Pulls new papers from Hugging Face Daily Papers and arXiv, scores them by research area into a recommendation page, and writes deep-read Obsidian notes for key ones; can also batch-read Zotero collections. Needs Python 3, Obsidian and poppler; copy the whole skills folder per the README.
