Tools

Lets agents operate Home Assistant: control devices, query state and history, create and debug automations and edit dashboards, with 80+ tools. Community-maintained (unofficial); requires your own Home Assistant instance, and running via uvx needs a long-lived access token.

Command-line email client supporting IMAP, SMTP, JMAP, Gmail and Microsoft Graph, with multiple accounts and --json output, so agents can check, search, compose and send mail. A first-run wizard auto-detects your mailbox settings.

Manage Kubernetes clusters in natural language: translates intent into kubectl operations and runs them, and can serve as an MCP server for other agents. Uses Gemini by default (API key required) and also supports OpenAI and local models. Maintained by Google Cloud.

Open-source LLM evaluation platform: one opencompass command picks the model and datasets and runs the evaluation across hundreds of benchmarks. Works with local Hugging Face models and API models, with vLLM and LMDeploy for faster inference.

A more intuitive find-and-replace tool than sed: uses JavaScript/Python-style regex syntax, supports literal string mode and in-place file edits, which suits agents doing bulk text rewrites.

Converts and two-way syncs Jupyter notebooks with plain Python scripts or Markdown, so agents can edit research and teaching notebooks like ordinary text and diffs stay readable. Needs a local Python environment; install with pip.

Cleans a LaTeX project before arXiv submission: removes comments, auxiliary files and unused .tex files and images, and can compress images, so internal notes are not published with the source. From Google Research; installable with Homebrew on macOS.

Python library and CLI for extracting main web content: fetches pages, crawls via sitemaps and RSS feeds, strips headers, footers and other noise, and outputs TXT, Markdown, JSON, XML and more with metadata. Also processes downloaded HTML offline.

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.

Open-source alternative to NotebookLM's podcast feature: turns web pages, PDFs, images, YouTube videos or text into two-host conversational audio, useful for lecture notes or articles. Uses Gemini and OpenAI API keys by default, or local models plus free Edge TTS.

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.

Open-source offline machine translation built on OpenNMT, usable as a CLI, Python library or GUI. Download language packages as needed; when no direct model exists it pivots through an intermediate language. Suits text you would rather not upload to the cloud.

14 skills plus a hook-based reminder layer for use with n8n-mcp: teaches agents to write correct n8n expressions, configure nodes, apply workflow patterns, fix validation errors and deploy self-hosted n8n. Requires n8n-mcp to be set up first.

14 n8n workflow skills: expression syntax, MCP tool usage, node configuration, validation and troubleshooting, Code nodes, AI Agent workflows and self-hosted n8n deployment. Meant to be used with the n8n-mcp server.

Unofficial CLI and MCP that let agents work with NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask questions with citations, and generate audio overviews, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps and slides. Uses undocumented APIs and may break; needs a Google sign-in and uv.

Unofficial nlm CLI and MCP server for NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-create notebooks, import web pages and docs, and generate audio overviews, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps and slides for teaching and study. Relies on undocumented APIs and a Google sign-in, so it may break.

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.

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.

Docker's official CLI for building images, running and managing containers, viewing logs and pushing to registries, a foundational tool for agents setting up isolated environments. Needs a local or remote Docker Engine such as Docker Desktop.

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.

Classic plain-text double-entry accounting CLI: entries live in a text file and it produces balance, register, budget and other reports directly, with no database or hidden state, so agents can easily read and write ledgers, reconcile and report.
