Tools

Cross-platform shell built around structured data: pipelines pass tables instead of plain text, and you can open and query JSON, CSV, TOML and more directly. Default builds include nu --mcp, which serves it to agents as an MCP server.

Converts PDFs, images, PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, EPUB and more into Markdown, JSON or HTML, preserving tables, formulas and layout, with optional LLM help for higher accuracy. Needs Python 3.10+ and PyTorch; large-scale commercial use of the model weights needs a paid license.

PostHog's official hosted MCP: lets agents query product analytics with HogQL, manage feature flags and A/B experiments, and investigate errors and session replays. Sign in to PostHog to authorize; tool calls are free, though a few LLM-powered tools count toward AI usage.

ByteDance's open-source multimodal agent CLI: operates browsers via vision or the DOM and calls terminal, file and MCP tools to complete tasks, with a Web UI and headless server mode. Needs Node.js 22+ and a model API key.

Browser automation MCP server open-sourced by ByteDance in the UI-TARS-desktop repo: drives pages through Puppeteer accessibility data with an optional vision mode, running locally over stdio or remotely over SSE or Streamable HTTP.

Package manager for the open Agent Skills ecosystem: one command installs skills from GitHub and other sources into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and dozens more agents, with search, update and removal. From Vercel Labs.

When a user asks whether a skill exists for some task, searches the skills.sh ecosystem with the skills CLI, then recommends and installs a fit. Maintained by Vercel Labs and shipped in the skills CLI repo.

Detects your CPU, memory and GPU and scores open models on whether they run, speed, quality and context, then works with local runtimes like Ollama, llama.cpp and MLX to download and benchmark them. recommend --json gives agent-friendly output.

Local model gateway that routes requests from Claude Code, Codex and other coding agents to providers like DeepSeek, Kimi, Gemini and OpenRouter, with failover, rule-based routing and request logs. Bring your own API keys.

Trading research agent from HKU's HKUDS whose MCP server offers 70+ tools for quotes, financials, backtesting and research across A-shares, Hong Kong and US stocks and crypto. Needs local Python; HK, US and crypto research need no API key. For research only; not investment advice.

Official CLI for Tencent's open-source knowledge base platform WeKnora: upload documents, manage knowledge bases, run hybrid search and answer questions from them, or serve as a read-only MCP. Needs your own WeKnora deployment and a source build with Go 1.26+.

Lightweight command-line JSON processor that slices, filters, maps and transforms JSON with concise expressions and no runtime dependencies. A staple for agents parsing API responses and logs.

Data analysis plugin: writes queries in each SQL dialect, explores datasets, runs statistical tests, charts with Python and builds interactive HTML dashboards, then reviews methods and conclusions before sharing. Connects to Snowflake, BigQuery and other warehouses. Official from Anthropic.

Anthropic's official data skill that guides agents to write, translate and optimize SQL across Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, PostgreSQL and other warehouse dialects, including CTEs, window functions and analytical aggregations.

For preclinical life sciences research: bundles MCP connectors for PubMed, bioRxiv, ChEMBL, Open Targets, ClinicalTrials and more, plus analysis skills for single-cell RNA QC, scvi-tools and nf-core pipelines. Official from Anthropic; some data sources need accounts.

Checks hours before payroll for US small businesses: totals regular time, overtime and PTO from Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll or timesheets, and flags missed punches, overtime anomalies, rate changes and mid-period hires or exits. Prepares only, never runs payroll. Official from Anthropic.

Tracks the hiring funnel through sourcing, screening, interviews, debrief and offer, watching stage time and conversion, source effectiveness, offer acceptance and time to hire. With an ATS connected it pulls candidate data and updates status. A brief skill from Anthropic's human-resources plugin.

Drafts offer letters from role, level, location and comp package, listing base salary, equity, signing bonus and first-year total, plus talking points for the hiring manager's negotiation. The template follows US company conventions; have legal review before sending. Official from Anthropic.

Helps with headcount planning and org design: maps reporting lines and spans of control, sequences upcoming hires, estimates people costs, and flags structural issues like single points of failure or top-heavy management. Works in plain chat. Official from Anthropic.

HR plugin: drafts offer letters, generates onboarding checklists, runs performance reviews, answers policy questions, and produces compensation benchmarks and people analytics reports. Can connect to HRIS and ATS systems. Official from Anthropic.

Turns a hiring need into a job description, a structured interview guide with scorecard, resume screening criteria and an offer template, delivered as Word documents. With Claude in Chrome it can save drafts in DocuSign. Official from Anthropic; have HR or legal review offer terms.

Performance review season helper: generates self-review and manager review templates and calibration materials, summarizes rating distributions and promotion cases, and rewrites vague feedback into specific behavioral examples. Works in plain chat. Official from Anthropic.

Turns processes that live in people's heads into SOPs: flowcharts, a RACI matrix (responsible, accountable, consulted, informed), detailed steps and exceptions, ready for handoffs, audits and onboarding. Describe the process or paste existing notes. Official from Anthropic.

Generates people analytics reports from employee data: headcount snapshots, voluntary and involuntary attrition, diversity metrics, spans of control and flight risk, with findings and recommendations for leadership. Needs an uploaded employee CSV or a connected HRIS. Official from Anthropic.
