Tools

Anthropic's official life sciences plugin marketplace: install MCP plugins such as PubMed, BioRender, Synapse, ChEMBL and 10x Genomics, plus research skills for single-cell RNA QC, Nextflow pipelines and scvi-tools. Some data sources need an account or subscription.

Generates flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams and other charts from Mermaid syntax with configurable theme and background, exporting SVG or PNG files or a mermaid.ink share link. Validates syntax so the model can fix errors over several turns.

Lets agents read and write Things 3 on the Mac (Inbox, Today, projects and tags), turning action items from a chat into tasks or walking you through a weekly review. Needs Things 3 (paid) with Things URLs enabled in settings, plus uv.

Redis's official MCP server: read and write strings, hashes, lists, streams, JSON and other data structures in natural language, with vector indexing and search and pub/sub. Bring your own Redis instance; runs via uvx.

Lets agents read dbt project models, lineage and Semantic Layer metrics, run build, run and test commands, and call the dbt platform Discovery and Admin APIs. Maintained by dbt Labs; Semantic Layer and platform tools need a dbt platform account.

Official DuckDB skills: query local or S3 CSV, Parquet, Excel and JSON files with SQL or plain language, attach databases, convert formats, analyze spatial data and look up documentation. Needs the DuckDB CLI; tested only on macOS and Linux.

Eight workflow skills for designers prototyping with AI: requirements interviews, briefs, information architecture, design tokens, task breakdown, UI in a chosen aesthetic and design review, chained by design-flow. Outputs go to .design in the project. For Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.

Lets agents send and read channel messages and DMs through your own Discord bot, and manage channels, roles, member timeouts and scheduled events, useful for running a community or player support on Discord. Create a bot in the Discord Developer Portal for a token; needs Docker.

Chroma's official MCP: lets agents create and manage collections, add documents, and retrieve them with vector search, full-text search and metadata filters. Connects to in-memory or local persistent stores, self-hosted instances or Chroma Cloud.

Official Sleek skill: lets agents design mobile app screens in Sleek, manage projects and take preview screenshots, then pull the design HTML and implement it in React Native or SwiftUI. Needs a Sleek account and API key; free accounts get one trial run, ongoing use needs a paid Pro plan.

Open-source meeting connector that lets agents join Zoom, Teams or Google Meet as a participant, read the live transcript, chat and attendee list, and speak, e.g. to take meeting notes. Runs locally in Docker (image about 2.3 GB); transcription is local by default.

Official ClickHouse skills: best practices for schema design, primary keys, JOINs and inserts ranked by impact, advice on real-time architecture decisions, in-process SQL and pandas-compatible analysis with chDB, and local and cloud deployment workflows.

Todoist's official MCP: lets agents find, create, update and complete tasks and projects and view to-dos by date. Use the hosted remote server with OAuth sign-in, or embed it as a tool library in your own AI app.

Official ElevenLabs skills: text to speech, speech to text, sound effects and music generation, voice changing, vocal isolation, multilingual dubbing and building voice agents. Needs an ElevenLabs API key.

MCP server for the Lean 4 theorem prover: lets agents read proof goals, diagnostics and definitions and search theorems via LeanSearch and Loogle, helping mathematicians and students with formal proofs. Needs uv and the Lean toolchain; run it from the Lean project root.

68 trading and quant skills focused on crypto and DeFi: market and on-chain data, technical indicators, backtesting, position sizing and risk, prediction markets, and tax tools for cost basis and wash sales. Most need Python and data API keys (often free tiers); get expert review.

Connects Stata to VS Code or Cursor and exposes a local MCP endpoint so Claude Code or Codex can write and run do-files and read regression output, with graphs shown in the editor; for empirical research. Needs a licensed Stata 17+, the extension installed and the editor open.

Notion's official Claude Code plugin: bundles Notion's hosted MCP with four Cookbook skills (knowledge capture, meeting prep, research write-ups, spec to implementation) and slash commands for searching, creating pages, querying databases and creating tasks. OAuth sign-in.

Official Tavily skills: let agents search the web, extract page content, discover site URLs, crawl in bulk and run cited deep research through the Tavily CLI (tvly). Install the CLI first; search and extract have a limited no-login tier, other features need sign-in or an API key.

Microsoft Teams MCP open-sourced by Inditex: read messages in a set channel, start threads, reply and @mention members, and list members. Requires an Azure app registration and a Teams bot (usually with IT admin help); runs via Docker or Python 3.12 with uv.

Product decision skills built on the Advanced JTBD method: market and segment research, value propositions, PRDs, launch copy and growth plans, and customer interview analysis. Install into your project with the repo's one-line script; outputs are hypotheses to test, not conclusions.

Astronomer's official data engineering plugin: write Airflow DAGs to best practices, debug pipeline failures, trace data lineage, profile warehouse tables and migrate from Airflow 2 to 3, with a built-in Airflow MCP server and session hooks.

Research guardrails for PhD students: reproduce arXiv papers, debug training anomalies with evidence, compare runs at matched epochs, check paper-code consistency, verify BibTeX, find literature gaps and predict reviewer comments. No MCP or extra dependencies; mostly for ML research.

Read and write Airtable bases: view table schemas, search, create and update records and add comments, handy for sign-up lists, project tracking, clients and content pipelines. Needs an Airtable account with a personal access token, and Node.js.
