Tools

Replaces arXiv preprint entries in your .bib file with the official published versions from DBLP and ACL Anthology, keeping citation keys, to tidy references before camera-ready. Overwrites the file by default, so preview with --dry-run. Mainly covers CS venues; needs Python 3.10+.

Converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, audio, web pages and YouTube transcripts into Markdown that agents can read and cite. Built on Microsoft MarkItDown; the Docker image lacks audio transcription and image recognition, so build locally for full features.

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.

Open-source meeting bot and real-time transcription platform: sends a bot into Google Meet, Teams or Zoom and transcribes live by speaker, with MCP so agents can dispatch bots and read transcripts. Use the hosted service (API key) or self-host.

WhatsApp CLI: pair as a linked device, sync messages to local SQLite, search offline, send text and files, and manage groups, with --json output for agents. Built on the unofficial WhatsApp Web protocol.

Searches Korean statutes, case law, administrative rules and local ordinances via the Korean Ministry of Government Legislation's Open API, verifies whether cited provisions and cases exist, and compares versions over time. Needs a free API key and Node.js; have a lawyer review results.

Python library with a built-in MCP server for US SEC EDGAR data: search 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings and read XBRL-standardized financial statements, Form 4 insider trades and 13F holdings. Free with no API key; just set an EDGAR_IDENTITY.

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.

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.

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.

A Chinese-first editing skill that also works on English: strips boilerplate, padded lead-ins and stiff phrasing while keeping numbers, conditions, commitments and the author's voice. Can flag issues without rewriting. It doesn't detect AI text or promise to evade detectors.

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.

Apify's official skill collection: picks from 130+ curated Actors to scrape public data from social networks, maps, e-commerce sites and more, and can also build, package and deploy Actors. Needs an Apify account; a free tier is available.

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.

Extracts issuer, amount, date, invoice number and other fields from PDF invoices using YAML/JSON templates, exporting CSV, JSON or XML. Ships several text-extraction backends, OCR for scanned invoices and an optional AI fallback.

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.

Exports Feishu/Lark docs, whole folders or wikis to Markdown with images, so agents can read, migrate or archive them. Requires creating a custom app on the Feishu/Lark Open Platform and configuring its App ID and App Secret.

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.

Figma's official skill: the agent writes Mermaid, then uses the Figma MCP to build flowcharts and sequence, state, Gantt and ER diagrams in FigJam for you to tweak by hand. Unsupported types like pie charts and mind maps are flagged upfront. Needs a Figma account and the remote MCP server.

Figma's official skill for building FigJam boards through the Figma MCP: sticky notes, sections, connectors, shapes and tables for brainstorms, retros and meetings. Needs a Figma account, the remote MCP server and the figma-use skill; canvas writes are free in beta; usage pricing is planned.
