Tools

MathWorks' official server that lets agents start your local MATLAB, write and run scripts and unit tests, and check code style and potential errors, for computing, simulation and data analysis. Needs a licensed MATLAB R2021a+ and the downloaded server binary.

Recommends daily papers from arXiv and Semantic Scholar by research interest, reads them and writes illustrated Obsidian notes and a paper graph; can also search venues like CVPR and NeurIPS. Needs Python 3, Obsidian, a vault path and an interests config; the web app needs an Anthropic API key.

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.

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.

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.

User research skill: drafts research plans, screeners and interview guides, and turns transcripts into reports with coding tables, personas and priorities, no account needed. AI-moderated interviews, surveys and recruiting real or synthetic participants need a Cookiy AI account, billed per use.

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.

People-management skill pack for managers and HR with 7 skills: performance reviews, performance improvement plans (PIPs), 360-degree feedback surveys, interview scorecards, team health checks, team offsites and a 90-day plan for new managers. Text-only; no account or API key.

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.

Hiring lessons from 21 Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter guests on recruiting product managers and engineers: defining the role, sourcing through networks, assessing potential and closing offers, with frameworks and question lists. Methodology-focused, for recruiters and hiring managers.

Collects hiring advice from dozens of Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter guests to help you design realistic work samples or paid trials, shared rubrics and solid reference checks, instead of hiring on interview polish and resumes. Geared to product and tech teams; prompt-only, no account.

76 product skills distilled from Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter, covering product strategy, prioritization, user interviews, PRD writing, OKRs, launches and growth, hiring and team management. Each includes frameworks, checklists and templates, with verified quotes. Docs only, no account.

Helps managers and HR partners prepare tough performance feedback: frameworks like GAIN and Radical Candor, turning judgments into observable facts, role-playing the conversation, and planning follow-up. Distilled from Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter guests; prompt-only, no account needed.

Opens HTML, Markdown or localhost pages in the browser via npx human-review so you can edit text directly and leave anchored comments, then sends every edit and comment back to the agent in one batch to apply to the source.

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.

Pulls new papers from Hugging Face Daily Papers and arXiv, scores them by research area into a recommendation page, and writes deep-read Obsidian notes for key ones; can also batch-read Zotero collections. Needs Python 3, Obsidian and poppler; copy the whole skills folder per the README.

MathWorks' official toolkit for reading, building, modifying and testing Simulink models via the MATLAB MCP server, with skills for control design, Simscape, code generation and compliance checks. Needs licensed MATLAB R2023a+ and Simulink; run the official installer in MATLAB first.

LangChain's official skill collection: framework selection, quickstarts, middleware, persistence, human-in-the-loop approval, RAG and eval design across LangChain, LangGraph and Deep Agents, in Python and TypeScript. Also installable as a Claude Code plugin. Still in early development.

Connects agents to live Jupyter notebooks: read, write, insert and execute cells and read multimodal outputs like charts, for interactive data analysis. Bring your own JupyterLab or JupyterHub; open source, maintained by Datalayer.

MathWorks' official toolkit: set up the MCP server via the MATLAB installer so agents can run code, run tests and do static checks; domain skill sets for signal processing, controls, statistics and machine learning install as Claude Code plugins. Needs MATLAB R2021a+.

From startup idea to validation plan: market research, customer interviews, business model and financial projections, plus competitor battlecards, April Dunford positioning and investor pitches of several lengths. Spawns research subagents (token-heavy); projections are only estimates.

Microsoft's official local MCP server for creating and editing Power BI semantic model tables, measures and relationships in natural language, running and validating DAX queries, and bulk renaming and translation. Connects to Power BI Desktop, Fabric or PBIP files; in public preview.

The standard machine translation scorer: computes BLEU, chrF and TER with significance tests and downloads public test sets such as WMT, to compare engines or prompts. Needs Python 3.9+ and reference translations; automatic metrics are a rough screen, so final copy still needs human review.
