Tools

Extracts text and tables from PDFs; merges, splits and rotates pages, adds watermarks, fills forms and OCRs scanned documents. The official Anthropic skill behind Claude's document features; source-available, not open source.

Official MCP reference server for local Git repos: view status and diffs, stage and commit, create and switch branches, and search the commit log by date. Written in Python and runs with uvx; still in early development.

AI pair programming in your terminal: builds a repo map of the whole codebase, auto-commits changes to git, works with Claude, DeepSeek, OpenAI and almost any other model including local ones, and can run lint and tests after edits.

Adds a searchable, copyable text layer to scanned PDFs, with automatic deskew, rotation and size optimization, outputting PDF/A by default. Built on Tesseract, supports 100+ languages and runs fully locally.

Bundles 60+ full-stack specialist skills into one plugin: experts for 12 languages including Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust and Java, and frameworks like React, Django and Spring Boot, activated automatically by request. Also includes Jira and Confluence workflow commands (needs Atlassian MCP).

Scans files and directories for personal data such as names, emails and credit card numbers using Presidio Analyzer, with configurable entity types, confidence thresholds and ignore rules. Needs Python 3.10+ and a spaCy language model.

Lightweight OCR built on PaddleOCR models converted to ONNX, recognizing Chinese and English by default on CPU alone. The rapidocr CLI reads text from screenshots, photos and scanned page images. Needs Python; downloads models on first run, then works offline. Convert PDFs to images first.

Font toolkit: pyftsubset subsets fonts to the characters you use and outputs WOFF2 to shrink web fonts, and ttx converts fonts to editable XML for inspection and edits. Needs Python 3.11+ and the woff extra for WOFF2; check the license before subsetting commercial fonts.

Mistral's official open-source terminal coding assistant: uses Mistral models to read and write code, run commands and search the codebase, with multiple agent profiles and subagents, plus Skills, MCP and a --prompt scripting mode. Needs a Mistral API key.

Converts PDFs to editable Word files, keeping paragraphs, tables, images and layout as closely as possible, and can extract tables alone, handy when a contract or exam only exists as PDF. Needs Python; digital PDFs only, OCR scans first. No longer actively maintained by Artifex.

Scans codebases and dependencies for open-source licenses, copyright notices and package manifests, detecting licenses by full-text matching, with output in JSON, SPDX, CycloneDX and more, for open-source compliance reviews.

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.

Crawls an entire site, counts words and keywords per page, and checks technical SEO such as titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, H1s and social tags. Outputs JSON by default or an HTML report for agents to act on. Needs Python; the optional AI content review needs an API key.

From Free Law Project: finds bad redactions in PDFs, where a black box covers text that can still be selected and copied, and outputs the leaked text and positions per page as JSON. Useful for lawyers checking filings before release. Needs Python 3.10+; may miss cases, so review important files.

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.

Third-party LSP plugin marketplace with 30+ language server plugins, including TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, Java, C/C++, Vue, Svelte, Elixir and Haskell, covering more languages than the official set. Requires Claude Code 2.1.50+; install the language servers yourself.

Official CLI for Weblate, the open-source translation platform: check translation progress for projects and components, upload and download translation files, lock components, and commit or push repository changes. Hosted or self-hosted; needs the server URL, an API key and Python.

Local MCP for paralegal work: analyzes clause risk in Word contracts, compares two contract versions, extracts parties, dates and other key terms, outlines pleadings, and optionally searches US case law via CourtListener. US-focused; needs local Python. A lawyer must review results.
