Tools

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 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.

Figma's official skill that teaches agents to run Plugin API scripts via use_figma, creating and editing nodes, components, variables and auto layout directly on the canvas. Load it before any use_figma call. Needs a Figma account and the remote MCP server.

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.

Unofficial Intercom CLI built with Printing Press, covering the full REST API: sync conversations and contacts for offline search, bulk-tag conversations about one incident, see customer overviews and SLA reports, and pull or push help articles. US, EU and AU regions; needs an access token.

Self-hostable long-term memory for agents, offering MCP, a REST API and a web dashboard: semantic search, knowledge graph and automatic memory consolidation. Embeddings are computed locally; choose SQLite, Cloudflare or Milvus as the backend.

The Linux Foundation's open-source compliance toolchain: analyzes project dependencies, scans licenses and copyrights, checks known vulnerabilities, flags policy violations and generates SBOMs and notice files. Needs Java 25 or Docker and ideally 8 GB RAM; have legal review license findings.

Microsoft's official Azure DevOps MCP server: query and act on work items, repos, pull requests, build pipelines, test plans and wikis. Sign in with a Microsoft account that has access on first use; Microsoft recommends the no-install remote version instead.

Before tool calls run, blocks destructive Git and file commands (git reset --hard, rm -rf) and access to sensitive files like SSH keys and .env. Parses command semantics, so bash -c wrappers are caught too. Works with Claude Code, Codex and other coding CLIs; needs Node.js 18+.

Fetches US, Hong Kong and China A-share stock data with zero runtime dependencies: real-time quotes, daily, weekly and monthly candles and search as JSON, falling back across Tencent, Sina and Eastmoney sources. Also runs as an MCP server. Unofficial public APIs, no stability guarantee.

Adapts an explanation to its audience, from a 5-year-old to a high schooler, college student, parent or executive, adjusting vocabulary, analogies, tone and depth. Useful for teachers, parents and explaining expert topics to laypeople. No account or extra software needed.

A three-stage workflow for math modeling contests like MCM/ICM and CUMCM: analysis, solving and plotting in Python or MATLAB, and a Word (optionally LaTeX) paper, with stage-check subagents and OpenAlex plus AnySearch literature search. Generated papers are for reference only.

Community-maintained Slack MCP: reads channel, DM and thread history, searches messages and fetches unread messages; write actions like posting are off by default and must be enabled explicitly. Works with user OAuth or bot tokens over stdio, SSE or HTTP.

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.

Lets agents drive WinDbg's CDB/KD to analyze crash dumps, debug user-mode processes remotely and debug kernels, and triage many dumps in a batch. Windows only; requires WinDbg or Debugging Tools for Windows.

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.
