Tools

Perplexity's official MCP with four tools: web search, grounded Q&A, deep research and reasoning, available remotely or run locally. Requires a Perplexity API key.

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.

A research-writing plugin from K-Dense: searches the literature in real time before drafting, then produces papers, reviews, grant proposals, posters and slides with verifiable citations and figures. Literature search needs a Parallel API key; PDF output needs LaTeX.

Two-stage deep research: drafts an editable outline for the topic, then parallel subagents search the web item by item and compile a Markdown report. Good for literature reviews, competitor research and due diligence. Install by copying files per the README, plus pip install pyyaml.

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.

Turns a paper's method description (text or PDF) or data files into publication-ready diagrams and plots, with several AI reviewer roles refining each figure. Needs an OpenAI or Gemini API key (billed per image), Python and uv. A community reimplementation, not by the original paper's authors.

Translates entire books: splits PDF, DOCX or EPUB into chunks for parallel subagents, keeps terminology consistent, resumes interrupted runs and verifies with hashes, then outputs HTML, DOCX, EPUB or PDF. Needs Calibre, Pandoc and Python.

App Store Optimization and app marketing skills: keyword research, title and description optimization, competitor tracking, review management, launch and ad planning. Works from general knowledge alone; add an Appeeky API key or MCP for real App Store data (free accounts get 100 credits a month).

Helps app marketers and translators plan multilingual App Store listings: prioritize countries, research keywords per market, rewrite title, subtitle, keywords and description, and flag screenshot and cultural issues rather than translating literally. Guidance only, no account needed.

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.

Turns Figma designs into production code in your project, using the design screenshot as the visual target and reusing existing components, design tokens and Code Connect mappings first. Maintained by Figma; needs the Figma MCP server (free plans get only 6 calls a month).

Figma's official plugin: connects the remote Figma MCP server and bundles skills for design-to-code, Code Connect, and generating designs and libraries, letting agents read design context and write to the canvas. Needs a Figma account; Starter plans and View/Collab seats get 6 calls a month.

Figma's official skill collection: implement designs as code, map components with Code Connect, generate design-system libraries from code, and build screens and FigJam diagrams on the canvas. Needs the Figma MCP server; canvas writes are in beta and currently free.

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.

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.

AI localization: deploy the server to your own Vercel account (Postgres and AI Gateway included; enable deployment protection afterwards), then run npx languine@selfhosted translate to translate locale files with LLMs. A GitHub Action can open PRs. Needs a Vercel account and Node.js.

A three-stage workflow for math modeling contests like MCM/ICM and CUMCM: analysis, solving and plotting in Python or MATLAB, and a Word (optionally LaTeX) paper, with stage-check subagents and OpenAlex plus AnySearch literature search. Generated papers are for reference only.

Multi-engine web search MCP with no API key, supporting Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Baidu, Sogou, CSDN, Juejin and more; also fetches page content, CSDN articles and GitHub READMEs. Ships a CLI and a local server too.

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.

Command-line reference and bibliography manager: add papers by DOI with metadata fetched automatically, search by author, title or tag, and import or export BibTeX. Each entry is a readable YAML file that agents can read and write easily; a web UI is included. Needs Python.

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 read and write your local Obsidian vault directly: search notes, append to daily notes, tidy tags and properties, and summarize reading or research notes by topic. No need to open Obsidian or install plugins; access is limited to the vault and can be read-only. Needs Node.js 20+.
