Tools

From Microsoft: converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML and other files or URLs to Markdown so agents can read and search them. A single convert_to_markdown tool over STDIO or local HTTP.

Lets agents model, lay out scenes, tweak materials and run Python in Blender, and import Poly Haven, Sketchfab and AI-generated 3D assets. Requires uv and the companion Blender add-on.

Google's open-source database MCP server with ready-made query and SQL tools for dozens of sources, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, Spanner and MongoDB. Define controlled custom queries in tools.yaml.

Local MCP server built into Browser Use: lets agents navigate, click, type and extract page content, or hand multi-step tasks to the built-in browser agent. Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key.

Official MCP reference server that fetches web pages and converts them to Markdown for the model, reading long pages in chunks from a given offset. Zero config, but it can reach internal network addresses, so use it with care.

Official PaddleOCR MCP: text recognition and layout parsing for images and PDFs (PP-OCR, PP-StructureV3, PaddleOCR-VL), returning text or Markdown. Runs inference locally, or calls the official API or a self-hosted service.

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.

Official OpenBB MCP server exposing the OpenBB Platform's equity, ETF, macroeconomic, crypto and news data to agents; enable only the tool categories you need to save context. Needs uv locally; some data sources need your own API keys. Not investment advice.

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.

MCP built into the open-source social media scheduler Postiz: agents draft, schedule and publish posts and view analytics across 30+ platforms including X, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube. The cloud version uses browser OAuth, no API key (paid after a 7-day trial); self-hosting is free.

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 MCP from the FunASR project: transcribes audio files locally with the SenseVoice model, supporting Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese and Korean, with optional segment timestamps. Local inference needs no API key and audio stays on your machine. Docker image available.

Deep research assistant that runs locally with a built-in MCP server: searches arXiv, PubMed, Wikipedia and more over multiple rounds and writes cited reports. Needs Python 3.12+, uv and an LLM (local Ollama or an API key); web search needs SearXNG or similar. Runs take minutes to half an hour.

Cuts long videos like podcasts, webinars, livestreams and interviews into captioned vertical shorts, with optional dubbing and publishing to TikTok, YouTube and more. Hosted version needs an API key (free tier is watermarked and time-limited), or self-host with Docker and your own keys.

Unofficial CLI and MCP that let agents work with NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask questions with citations, and generate audio overviews, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps and slides. Uses undocumented APIs and may break; needs a Google sign-in and uv.

From the FinanceToolkit author: computes ratios, valuation, risk and macro indicators with 500+ transparent formulas, for company comparisons and first-pass due diligence. Hosted, no install; enter a Financial Modeling Prep key on first connect (free tier: US stocks, 5 years). Verify results.

Connects to your local or cloud Zotero library: search by title, full text or semantics, read PDFs and annotations, add items by DOI and organize collections. Needs Python 3.10+; for local mode, enable the local API in Zotero settings first.

Gives agents Exa web search and page content fetching, with an optional multi-step research agent and advanced filtered search. Maintained by Exa; the hosted service works anonymously with limits, and signing in or adding an API key raises them.

Uses Obsidian's community Local REST API plugin so agents can list, read, search, append to and delete notes, and insert content at a heading, block reference or frontmatter field. Install that plugin and configure its API key first.

Generates 26+ chart types with AntV, including line, bar, Sankey, word cloud, mind map and pivot table, returning image links. Officially maintained by Ant Group's AntV team; uses a public rendering service by default and can be self-hosted.

Stores agent memory as local Markdown notes that both people and AI can read, write, search and link, and you can open them directly in Obsidian. Local-first, open source and free, with a paid cloud sync option.

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.

One server connecting PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle and SQLite, exposing just two tools by default to save context, with read-only mode and SSH tunneling. From Bytebase.

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.
