Tools

Anthropic's official OS-level sandbox CLI: restricts file and network access for agents, MCP servers and any command without containers, using sandbox-exec on macOS and bubblewrap on Linux. Currently a research preview.

Static security analysis for CI/CD config: finds template injection, credential leaks, excessive permissions and more in GitHub Actions workflows, also covers Dependabot and pre-commit configs, and auto-fixes some findings.

Generates template-driven charts as single-file HTML: picks a chart from real Lupi, Basics, Glance, Maps and Interactive gallery implementations based on data shape, or fills one of 12 Chinese and English report templates. Defaults to Mono grayscale with semantic color presets. Written in Chinese.

One command extracts or summarizes web pages, PDFs, YouTube videos, podcasts and media files, with JSON output. Summaries can use many model APIs, local models or a logged-in Codex or Claude CLI; plain extraction needs no key. Also has a browser sidebar extension.

Veteran suite of CSV command-line tools: in2csv converts Excel and JSON to CSV, csvcut, csvgrep and csvsort filter and sort, csvstat computes statistics, and csvsql runs SQL directly against CSV files.

Google's official skills for building ADK agents: dev workflow, scaffolding, the ADK Python API, evaluation with LLM judges and adaptive rubrics, deployment to Agent Runtime, Cloud Run or GKE, publishing and observability. Works with agents-cli; local dev needs only an AI Studio key.

250+ MCP tools for Ghidra: decompilation, cross-references, data-flow analysis, bulk renaming and commenting, P-code emulation and live debugging, with headless mode support. Requires Java 21 and Ghidra 12.1, and the plugin must be built and deployed first.

Posit's open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc: embed Python, R or Julia code in Markdown or Jupyter notebooks, then quarto render produces HTML, PDF, Word, slides, websites and books.

Veteran command-line task manager with projects, tags, priorities, due dates and custom reports, JSON export, and a rich ecosystem of hooks and extensions, well suited for agents that record and track tasks.

Community-maintained MCP for Jira and Confluence: search with JQL/CQL and create or update issues, pages and comments. Supports both Cloud and Server/Data Center deployments; needs an API token or personal access token.

Full-featured Jira CLI: filter, create, transition, assign and link issues and manage epics and sprints, with --plain text output that agents can read. Works with Cloud and self-hosted Jira; set up an API token and run jira init.

Semi-automated research workflow for computer science and AI researchers: ideation, Zotero literature management, experiment analysis and reports, paper writing and polishing, and rebuttals, with optional Obsidian knowledge base. 40+ skills; also installable as a Claude Code plugin.

Semi-automated research assistant for CS and AI researchers that links ideation, Zotero literature management, experiment analysis and reporting, paper writing and reviewer responses, and keeps project knowledge in Obsidian. Branches for Codex and other agents exist.

draw.io's official MCP: opens XML, CSV or Mermaid diagrams generated by the agent directly in the draw.io editor, good for flowcharts and architecture diagrams. A no-install remote version can also render diagrams inline in the chat.

Turns any codebase into an interactive browser course: real code with plain-language explanations, animations, hover glossaries and scenario quizzes. Built for people who build software with AI but can't read code, and useful for intro programming classes. Needs only an agent and the repo.

Excalidraw's official MCP App: streams hand-drawn-style architecture diagrams and flowcharts into the conversation, with full-screen editing. Remote endpoint at https://mcp.excalidraw.com; requires a client that supports MCP Apps, such as Claude or ChatGPT.

From the FinanceToolkit author: computes ratios, valuation, risk and macro indicators with 500+ transparent formulas, for company comparisons and first-pass due diligence. Hosted, no install; enter a Financial Modeling Prep key on first connect (free tier: US stocks, 5 years). Verify results.

Detects shot changes in video and splits long footage into scenes, exporting cut lists and per-scene thumbnails, useful for shot analysis, organizing footage and finding edit points. Runs locally; needs Python 3.10+, plus FFmpeg or mkvmerge for splitting.

LM Studio's official CLI: list, load and unload local models, start and stop the local API server, and check status and logs; ls, ps and other commands support --json output for scripts and agents. Requires the LM Studio desktop app.

Classic CLI for reading and writing metadata in hundreds of file types including images, video, audio and PDF, covering EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP and camera makers' proprietary tags, with batch editing, stripping and conversion. Requires Perl.

Generates hand-drawn-style Excalidraw diagrams (.excalidraw files you can keep editing on excalidraw.com) from text, choosing fan-out, timeline or convergence layouts by how concepts relate. Optional uv and Playwright let the agent render and check layouts; colors live in one file you can restyle.

Gives agents Exa web search and page content fetching, with an optional multi-step research agent and advanced filtered search. Maintained by Exa; the hosted service works anonymously with limits, and signing in or adding an API key raises them.

Mermaid's official CLI, mmdc: renders flowcharts, sequence diagrams and other Mermaid definitions to SVG, PNG or PDF, and can batch-convert mermaid code blocks in Markdown into images. Requires Node.js.

CLI and TypeScript runtime for discovering and calling MCP servers from the terminal and scripts: list tool signatures and call tools directly, or generate a standalone CLI or typed client from a server. Auto-imports existing MCP configs from Claude Code, Codex and others.
