Tools

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.

Official Databricks plugin with skills for the CLI and auth, Genie data queries, Apps, Lakebase, Lakeflow jobs and pipelines, Model Serving and DABs deployment, plus hooks for prompt routing, session context and auth failure hints. Needs a Databricks account.

Firecrawl's official plugin: brings the Firecrawl CLI in as skills so Claude Code can search the web, scrape pages to Markdown, map site links or crawl whole sites. Install firecrawl-cli and set an API key first; self-hosting supported.

MLflow's official skills plugin: lets coding agents add MLflow Tracing to LLM apps, analyze failed traces, build evaluation datasets and scorers, and query token and latency metrics, closing the instrument, evaluate, iterate loop. Needs MLflow 3.8+.

Pinecone's official plugin: bundles the Pinecone MCP server and /pinecone skill commands to create vector indexes, upsert data, search in plain language, or build a document Q&A assistant with citations from Claude Code. Needs a Pinecone API key (free sign-up); Assistant features also need uv.

Langfuse's official plugin: uses hooks to send prompts, model calls, token usage and cost, tool calls and subagents from Claude Code sessions to Langfuse as traces for monitoring and review. Needs Langfuse keys (self-hosting supported) and uv or Python 3.10+.
