Tools

Figma's official CLI that links Figma design-system components to real components in your code, so Dev Mode and the Figma MCP show production snippets instead of generated examples. Needs Node.js 18+, a Figma Organization or Enterprise plan, a full Design or Dev Mode seat and an access token.

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.

Motion design skill built on the ideas of design engineers Emil Kowalski, Jakub Krehel and Jhey Tompkins: builds animated UI components for your project type, or audits existing animations in an HTML report with looping demos. Use in a coding agent on a local frontend project.

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.

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.

Searches 200,000+ icons from 150+ libraries such as Lucide and Material Design, suggests icons by use case, and returns SVG or React, Vue and other component code, or writes them into your icon file. Handy for AI-built pages and UI prototypes. No account or API key; needs Node.js.

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.

Free two-way Figma MCP that needs no paid Dev Mode seat: turns designs into code that fits your existing project, or builds pages and components on the canvas from a description, with data staying on your machine. Needs Node.js 20.19+, the Figma desktop app and the companion plugin.

Generates book covers, movie posters, article covers and social images from one sentence, picking colors and composition from 30+ poster masters' styles to suit the subject. Rendering directly needs Python and a PipeLLM image API key; or just generate prompts for another image tool.

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.

Lets agents build Xcode projects and drive the iOS Simulator: 29 scripts cover building and testing, semantic navigation and taps via the accessibility tree, screenshot diffs and device lifecycle, with compact token-saving output. Needs macOS, Xcode and idb.

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+.

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.

Experimental open-source generative media MCP servers from Google Cloud: Nano Banana images, Veo video, Gemini TTS and Chirp voices, Lyria music, and AVTool for compositing. Each registers separately; needs a billing-enabled Google Cloud project and gcloud login; AVTool needs FFmpeg.

Pre-submission review for CS conference papers (CVPR, ACL, NeurIPS and more): polish, translate or condense on request, or let AI reviewers raise issues and a jury rule on them. Only wording fixes are drafted, with your approval; missing experiments go back to you, never invented. Needs Node.js.

Connects Rhino 8 and Grasshopper to agents: model in plain language, edit geometry and layers, measure areas and volumes, and build Grasshopper definitions, for architecture and product design. Install the rhinomcp plugin in Rhino, run mcpstart, and have uv installed. Unofficial (not McNeel).

Lets agents query Google Ads accounts, campaigns and performance data with GAQL; currently read-only tools only. Maintained by Google; needs Google Cloud credentials and Google Ads API access.

Atlassian's official hosted remote MCP: access Jira, Confluence, JSM, Bitbucket, Loom and more with OAuth or an API token. Works with Atlassian Cloud sites only.

Connects the QGIS desktop GIS to Claude: create and save projects, load vector and raster layers, run Processing toolbox algorithms, export maps and execute PyQGIS code through chat. Needs QGIS 3 and uv; download the repo, copy the plugin into QGIS's plugin folder and start the server.
