Tools

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.

Generates product shots, marketing posters and illustrations, removes or swaps backgrounds, upscales and makes videos, with 1,400+ prompt templates and parallel variations. Cloud use needs a MeiGen account and paid credits; the npm version can use OpenAI-compatible APIs or local ComfyUI.

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.

Official skill for BaoCut, a subtitle app by Baoyu: transcribe audio and video, generate and translate subtitles, check speakers, adjust timing and export SRT or finished video. Needs BaoCut on an Apple silicon Mac (macOS 14+); on Windows the skill fetches a preview CLI.

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+.

Econometrician Pedro Sant'Anna's academic Claude Code setup (fork the repo to use it): Beamer/Quarto lecture slides, paper review and mock refereeing, R/Python analysis and replication packages, with specialist subagents and quality gates. Needs Git and Python; slides need XeLaTeX and Quarto.

From product photos and a brief, plans a full e-commerce visual set (main images, Amazon/Shopify detail pages, social promos, livestream scenes) with briefs and image prompts, using 25 scene templates and a consistent style. Renders with an OpenAI-compatible image API key; needs Python 3.10+.

Reads and writes Obsidian vaults from the terminal: search, view, create, edit, move and delete notes, and manage frontmatter and daily notes, without Obsidian running. Good for agents maintaining a personal knowledge base. Formerly Obsidian CLI.

MiniMax's official MCP: text-to-speech, voice cloning and voice design, text-to-image and video generation. Needs a MiniMax API key; the key and API host must belong to the same region (global or mainland China). Pay as you go.

Web search through DuckDuckGo plus fetching and parsing page content, with built-in rate limiting and LLM-friendly result formatting. No API key needed; runs with a single uvx command.

Brings the Brave Search API to agents: web, news, image, video and local business and place search, plus LLM-ready page context and AI summaries. Maintained by Brave; needs an API key.

Uses the Qdrant vector database as a semantic memory layer for agents: store information and retrieve it by meaning, connecting to a remote instance or a local path, with FastEmbed generating embeddings by default. Maintained by Qdrant.

Self-hosted open-source platform for contract and legal document analysis: detects cited laws and builds a citation graph, and its MCP server lets agents search the corpus, read texts and annotations, and follow citations. Deploy your own instance with Docker; have a lawyer review results.

Audio plugin suite: transcription with local Qwen3-ASR or Whisper (MLX on Apple Silicon), speaker diarization, transcript correction, structured meeting notes and StepFun TTS. StepFun ASR and TTS need an API key.

A plugin marketplace with dozens of plugins: an enhanced skill-creator, scrapers for Bilibili, Douban and Feishu docs, China A-share news and US stock fundamentals, WeCom notifications, deep research and fact-checking, with docs in English and Chinese.

Connects LLMs to ROS and ROS 2 robots: publish and subscribe to topics, call services and actions, set parameters, and read sensor and robot state, without changing robot code. The robot side needs rosbridge running.

Builds conference talks, lab meeting decks, defenses, lectures and grant reports to academic norms: assertion-style titles, slides ordered by the argument, one cited chart per results slide, and a closing conclusions slide. Pair with Anthropic's pptx skill; on claude.ai, enable code execution.

Lets Claude Code watch videos: extracts frames with ffmpeg and transcribes timestamped audio from local files or YouTube links, to review footage, summarize lectures or find on-screen text. Needs Node.js 20+ and ffmpeg (yt-dlp for YouTube); transcribe with local Whisper or a Gemini/OpenAI key.

Self-hosted engine that maps lab results, checkup reports and wearable data to standard metrics so agents can chart trends, citing the source file for every number. uvx mirobody mcp gives the coding tools; full records need Docker and an LLM API key. A doctor should review results.

Two-stage paper skills: planning studies the style of your target preprint server (e.g. PhilArchive, arXiv), finds gaps in the literature and scores a seven-dimension mock review; writing drafts and checks each chapter from the outline. Suits philosophy and interdisciplinary work; needs Python 3.

Turns a paper (arXiv link or PDF) into method diagrams, slides with a generated image per page (PPTX/PDF export) and an in-depth HTML explainer with formulas, for lab meetings and lectures. No API key; images use Codex's built-in generator or, in Claude Code, a separate image skill.

Community CLI for Feishu (Lark) focused on two-way conversion between Markdown and Feishu docs; also works with wikis, sheets, Bitable, messages, calendar, tasks and meeting notes, and ships 9 agent skills. Setup creates an app via QR scan; search and mail need extra user authorization.

Gives agents controlled access to MySQL: list databases and tables, inspect schemas and sample data, and run SQL, with multi-database mode, SSL and SSH tunnels. Configure your own database user, ideally with least privilege.

Submission skill packs tailored to 700+ journals and conferences, from AER, Nature and NEJM to top CS venues and leading Chinese journals, to revise papers to each venue's scope, style and requirements. Add its Claude Code marketplace per the README, then install packs per journal.
