Tools

Simon Willison's website screenshot CLI: batch screenshots from YAML, record demo videos, export PDF and HTML, run JavaScript in pages to extract data, and dump accessibility trees. Built on Playwright; install a browser on first use.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Lets agents read and write Google Sheets: list and search spreadsheets, read and batch-update cells, insert rows and columns, create and share sheets and build charts, with the option to enable only some tools to save context. Needs a Google Cloud service account or OAuth credentials.

Plotting skills for academic papers: bar, line, scatter, radar and other styles distilled from 9 real paper figures. Plot your own data in a chosen style as 300 dpi figures, or reproduce a matplotlib script from a paper screenshot. Needs local Python and matplotlib.

The Docling project's official MCP: converts PDF, Word, PowerPoint and more into structured documents with layout and table detection and OCR for scans, and lets agents build new documents paragraph by paragraph and export Markdown. Local mode needs Python and uv, or use your own Docling Serve.

Stock analysis MCP for individual investors: quotes via yfinance, technical indicators such as RSI and MACD, screening strategies, a portfolio tracker and a trade journal. Core tools need no API key; backtesting and deep-research extensions are optional.

Apache Doris's official MCP: gives agents read-only access to explore table metadata, run and explain SQL, diagnose slow queries, and check cluster status, load jobs and data governance info. Needs Python 3.12+ and Doris 2.0 or later.
