Tools

Official Firecrawl skill: drives the Firecrawl CLI to search, scrape, map site URLs, batch-crawl, interact with pages and monitor changes, returning LLM-ready Markdown. Search and scrape have a rate-limited free tier; crawling and monitoring need an account or self-hosted instance.

Firecrawl's official CLI: scrape, search, map and crawl sites and interact with pages in a browser from the terminal, with Markdown output; can also install companion skills for coding agents. Needs a Firecrawl account or API key, or point it at a self-hosted instance.

Searches about 30 biomedical sources, including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinVar and OncoKB, with one command syntax, covering literature, clinical trials, genetic variants, drugs and pathways. Ships as both a CLI and an MCP server.

Microsoft Azure's official tool for translating Markdown, Jupyter notebooks and image text into 50+ languages; re-translates only changed parts and keeps links and formatting. Needs Python 3.11+ and an Azure OpenAI, OpenAI or Anthropic key; images need Azure AI Vision.

Uses an LLM to translate SRT, ASS and VTT subtitles into any language in batches, convert formats and transcribe audio or video. Install the CLI from source (Python 3.10+); needs an API key (e.g. OpenRouter) or a local model, and subtitles go to that provider.

Anthropic's official life sciences plugin marketplace: install MCP plugins such as PubMed, BioRender, Synapse, ChEMBL and 10x Genomics, plus research skills for single-cell RNA QC, Nextflow pipelines and scvi-tools. Some data sources need an account or subscription.

Redis's official MCP server: read and write strings, hashes, lists, streams, JSON and other data structures in natural language, with vector indexing and search and pub/sub. Bring your own Redis instance; runs via uvx.

Lets agents read dbt project models, lineage and Semantic Layer metrics, run build, run and test commands, and call the dbt platform Discovery and Admin APIs. Maintained by dbt Labs; Semantic Layer and platform tools need a dbt platform account.

Official DuckDB skills: query local or S3 CSV, Parquet, Excel and JSON files with SQL or plain language, attach databases, convert formats, analyze spatial data and look up documentation. Needs the DuckDB CLI; tested only on macOS and Linux.

Elastic's official skills teaching agents to use Elasticsearch and Kibana correctly: index design, ES|QL queries, search relevance tuning, dashboards, observability troubleshooting and security alert triage. Currently a technical preview.

Chroma's official MCP: lets agents create and manage collections, add documents, and retrieve them with vector search, full-text search and metadata filters. Connects to in-memory or local persistent stores, self-hosted instances or Chroma Cloud.

Official ClickHouse skills: best practices for schema design, primary keys, JOINs and inserts ranked by impact, advice on real-time architecture decisions, in-process SQL and pandas-compatible analysis with chDB, and local and cloud deployment workflows.

Official ElevenLabs skills: text to speech, speech to text, sound effects and music generation, voice changing, vocal isolation, multilingual dubbing and building voice agents. Needs an ElevenLabs API key.

MCP server for the Lean 4 theorem prover: lets agents read proof goals, diagnostics and definitions and search theorems via LeanSearch and Loogle, helping mathematicians and students with formal proofs. Needs uv and the Lean toolchain; run it from the Lean project root.

Official HeyGen skill: translates existing videos into 175+ languages with dubbing that clones the speaker's voice and re-syncs lips; you can proof subtitles before rendering. Needs a HeyGen account with credits and an API key plus HeyGen CLI, or the HeyGen MCP.

Voice skills: TTS with subtitle timing, emotional character voices, translated dubbing, two-host news podcasts, sound effects and songs. Narration and podcasts work with local Kokoro or free voices; emotion, cloning, dubbing, effects and songs need a Noiz API key. Never clone voices to deceive.

68 trading and quant skills focused on crypto and DeFi: market and on-chain data, technical indicators, backtesting, position sizing and risk, prediction markets, and tax tools for cost basis and wash sales. Most need Python and data API keys (often free tiers); get expert review.

Connects Stata to VS Code or Cursor and exposes a local MCP endpoint so Claude Code or Codex can write and run do-files and read regression output, with graphs shown in the editor; for empirical research. Needs a licensed Stata 17+, the extension installed and the editor open.

Appium's official MCP server: lets agents start sessions on Android and iOS emulators and real devices, locate elements, tap, type and take screenshots, and generate Java/TestNG test code. Needs the Android SDK or Xcode.

Automatically aligns subtitles to audio and video with a neural network, and can transcribe subtitles with Whisper or translate them with local models; supports 10+ formats such as SRT, TTML and SCC. Needs Python 3.9-3.12 and FFmpeg; transcription and translation need the llm extra.

Official Tavily skills: let agents search the web, extract page content, discover site URLs, crawl in bulk and run cited deep research through the Tavily CLI (tvly). Install the CLI first; search and extract have a limited no-login tier, other features need sign-in or an API key.

Astronomer's official data engineering plugin: write Airflow DAGs to best practices, debug pipeline failures, trace data lineage, profile warehouse tables and migrate from Airflow 2 to 3, with a built-in Airflow MCP server and session hooks.

Research guardrails for PhD students: reproduce arXiv papers, debug training anomalies with evidence, compare runs at matched epochs, check paper-code consistency, verify BibTeX, find literature gaps and predict reviewer comments. No MCP or extra dependencies; mostly for ML research.

Read and write Airtable bases: view table schemas, search, create and update records and add comments, handy for sign-up lists, project tracking, clients and content pipelines. Needs an Airtable account with a personal access token, and Node.js.
