Tools

Command-line audio and video downloader supporting thousands of sites: pick formats and quality, grab subtitles and metadata, and merge or transcode with FFmpeg. The actively maintained fork of youtube-dl.

Converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, images, audio and more into Markdown that keeps headings, lists and tables, ready for LLMs to read and analyze. Maintained by Microsoft; requires Python 3.10+.

Astral's extremely fast Python package and project manager written in Rust, replacing pip, pipx, poetry, pyenv and more. Supports lockfiles and multiple Python versions, and uvx runs Python tools without installing them.

MCP server built into the adaptive Python scraping framework Scrapling: supports plain HTTP requests, browser rendering and stealth fetching, and uses CSS selectors to pass only the target content to the AI, saving tokens and filtering out prompt injection.

Adaptive web scraping framework: scrapling extract turns a page into Markdown, text or HTML in one command, with CSS selectors and browser rendering for dynamic pages, plus an MCP server (needs the ai extra). Needs Python 3.10+ and a browser install on first use.

Open-source, LLM-friendly web crawler that turns pages into clean Markdown for RAG and agents. Ships the crwl CLI and supports deep crawling and question-driven data extraction (extraction needs an LLM key). Free to self-host.

Parses PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, images and audio, recovering layout, reading order, tables and formulas, and exports Markdown, HTML or lossless JSON. Started by IBM Research, now hosted by the LF AI & Data Foundation; runs fully locally.

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.

Connects Claude Code to the Pyright language server for static type checking and code intelligence in Python. Install pyright first with npm, pip or pipx. Official Anthropic plugin.

Removes image backgrounds with one command: single images, whole folders or watched directories, mask-only output and switchable models like U2Net and SAM. Can also run as an HTTP server or process video frames with FFmpeg. Default models run locally.

Command-line tool for bulk-downloading galleries and posts from many image hosts and social platforms, with flexible file naming and config, and yt-dlp integration for video. Main development has moved to Codeberg; the GitHub repo stays in sync.

Version datasets and models the way Git versions code: data lives in remote storage like S3 or GCS while versions are tracked in your Git repo. Also offers reproducible pipelines and local experiment tracking, rerunning only the steps affected by a change.

MySQL terminal client with smart autocompletion and syntax highlighting, also compatible with MariaDB and TiDB. Supports --execute and batch mode with CSV or table output, so agents can run SQL directly.

Pipes live streams from Twitch, YouTube and many other platforms to a local player, or saves them to video files with --output or --record, for keeping and re-editing replays of your own or partners' streams. Viewing needs a player like VLC. Only record content you have rights to.

Publishes SQLite databases as browsable, queryable web pages and JSON APIs, with SQL queries, metadata and plugins, and deploys to Cloud Run and other platforms with datasette publish. Great for data exploration and data journalism. Needs Python 3.10+.

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.

Linter and formatter for 20+ SQL dialects that auto-fixes most issues and handles Jinja templating and dbt projects (dbt needs a plugin), suited to warehouse code review and CI.

Terminal tool for exploring and wrangling tabular data: opens dozens of formats including CSV, JSON, Excel and SQLite for filtering, sorting, pivots and frequency counts. --batch mode replays actions headlessly or converts file formats.

Converts the output of 100+ commands such as dig, ps, ls and ifconfig, plus common file formats, into JSON so agents can parse it reliably with jq or scripts. Also usable as a Python library.

Removes backgrounds from images and videos with one AI command: batch whole folders, use a portrait model, refine edges or swap in a solid color, and output transparent MOV or composite video onto a new background. Runs locally; install PyTorch and ffmpeg first. Models download on first run.

Python library and CLI for extracting main web content: fetches pages, crawls via sitemaps and RSS feeds, strips headers, footers and other noise, and outputs TXT, Markdown, JSON, XML and more with metadata. Also processes downloaded HTML offline.

Veteran suite of CSV command-line tools: in2csv converts Excel and JSON to CSV, csvcut, csvgrep and csvsort filter and sort, csvstat computes statistics, and csvsql runs SQL directly against CSV files.

Create, read and modify xlsx workbooks without Microsoft Excel installed: formulas, formatting and conditional formatting, charts, pivot tables and tables. Runs locally over stdio or as a remote HTTP service.

Lets agents control DaVinci Resolve via its built-in scripting API: edit timelines, organize the media pool, color grade, work with Fusion and render. Requires DaVinci Resolve Studio; the free version works only up to 21.0.x through the in-app scripting bridge.
