SEO CLI and MCP server for agents: crawls your site for technical issues, uses Search Console data to rank fixes, and compares before and after. Needs Node.js 22+ and Google sign-in; keyword and competitor research needs paid data (DataForSEO, Semrush or Ahrefs).

Multi-agent investment research framework where fundamental, sentiment, news and technical analysts, bull and bear researchers, a trader and risk managers debate a stock and produce a report and rating. Covers US, Hong Kong and A-shares. Needs Python and an LLM API key; not investment advice.

Personalized tutoring system from HKU's HKUDS: build a knowledge base from textbooks for Q&A, step-by-step solutions and quizzes, for teachers and self-learners. The deeptutor command outputs JSON for agents like Claude Code. Needs Python 3.11+, Node.js 20+ and an LLM API key.

Office command-line tool built for AI agents: a single binary that creates, reads and edits Word, Excel and PowerPoint files without Office installed, and renders them to HTML or PNG so agents can check the layout.
