Tools

The standard machine translation scorer: computes BLEU, chrF and TER with significance tests and downloads public test sets such as WMT, to compare engines or prompts. Needs Python 3.9+ and reference translations; automatic metrics are a rough screen, so final copy still needs human review.

Microsoft's official local MCP server for creating and editing Power BI semantic model tables, measures and relationships in natural language, running and validating DAX queries, and bulk renaming and translation. Connects to Power BI Desktop, Fabric or PBIP files; in public preview.

MathWorks' official toolkit for reading, building, modifying and testing Simulink models via the MATLAB MCP server, with skills for control design, Simscape, code generation and compliance checks. Needs licensed MATLAB R2023a+ and Simulink; run the official installer in MATLAB first.

Pre-submission review for CS conference papers (CVPR, ACL, NeurIPS and more): polish, translate or condense on request, or let AI reviewers raise issues and a jury rule on them. Only wording fixes are drafted, with your approval; missing experiments go back to you, never invented. Needs Node.js.

MathWorks' official toolkit: set up the MCP server via the MATLAB installer so agents can run code, run tests and do static checks; domain skill sets for signal processing, controls, statistics and machine learning install as Claude Code plugins. Needs MATLAB R2021a+.

Connects agents to MongoDB and Atlas: query, aggregate, inspect collection schemas and indexes, and manage Atlas clusters, projects and database users. Maintained by MongoDB; needs a connection string or an Atlas service account; supports read-only mode.

Turns ComfyUI workflows into MCP tools with no code, covering generation and conversion across text, image, speech and video; works with local ComfyUI or RunningHub in the cloud. Start the server with uvx pixelle and configure an LLM first.

Connects the QGIS desktop GIS to Claude: create and save projects, load vector and raster layers, run Processing toolbox algorithms, export maps and execute PyQGIS code through chat. Needs QGIS 3 and uv; download the repo, copy the plugin into QGIS's plugin folder and start the server.

Lets agents query Google Ads accounts, campaigns and performance data with GAQL; currently read-only tools only. Maintained by Google; needs Google Cloud credentials and Google Ads API access.

ComfyUI's official CLI: install and launch ComfyUI in one step, manage custom nodes and model downloads, and run image and video workflows, with --json output on every command for agents. Can also submit jobs to paid Comfy Cloud.

Lets agents read and write Google Sheets: list and search spreadsheets, read and batch-update cells, insert rows and columns, create and share sheets and build charts, with the option to enable only some tools to save context. Needs a Google Cloud service account or OAuth credentials.

Graph database MCP server from Neo4j Labs: reads the graph schema and runs read and write Cypher queries, with read-only mode, query timeouts and response token limits. Needs a Neo4j instance with the APOC plugin enabled.

Plotting skills for academic papers: bar, line, scatter, radar and other styles distilled from 9 real paper figures. Plot your own data in a chosen style as 300 dpi figures, or reproduce a matplotlib script from a paper screenshot. Needs local Python and matplotlib.

Runs SQL queries against ClickHouse and browses databases and table schemas, read-only by default; can also enable embedded chDB to query data directly in files and URLs. Maintained by ClickHouse.

Jina AI's official remote MCP: converts web pages and PDFs to Markdown, searches the web, arXiv, SSRN and images, and offers screenshots, reranking and semantic dedup. Reading tools work without a key (rate-limited); search and rerank need a Jina API key.

Drives desktop Excel on Windows: refresh Power Query, build pivot tables and charts, evaluate DAX and run VBA while keeping existing formulas and formatting, so finance and admin staff can automate existing reports. Needs Windows, Excel 2016+ and Node.js; no macOS.

Unofficial Yahoo Finance data tool with a yahoo-finance CLI, an MCP server and an agent skill: stock quotes, price history, financials, option chains and analyst ratings. Needs Node.js 22+, no API key. The API is unofficial and may change; for research only.

Unbabel's machine-translation quality metric: comet-score rates translations per sentence and overall, XCOMET marks error spans and severity, and CometKiwi works without a reference. Good for spot-checking MT. Needs Python 3.8+; models download from Hugging Face, some need a license; GPU helps.

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.

A research plugin for Claude Code: commands like /omp:survey, /omp:experiment and /omp:write chain literature review, topic selection, experiments, writing and self-review, with 5 specialized agents and 34 research skills that remember project progress across sessions. Experiments lean toward ML.

dbt Labs' official plugin marketplace with dbt and dbt-migration plugins: write models and unit tests, build semantic-layer metrics, govern with dbt Mesh, debug failed jobs, and handle version upgrades and cross-platform migrations. Most skills need an existing dbt project.

dbt Labs' official skills: write and edit dbt models, add unit tests and docs, set up the MetricFlow semantic layer, debug failed jobs, and handle dbt version upgrades and cross-platform migrations. Most skills need dbt installed and an existing project.

Stock analysis MCP for individual investors: quotes via yfinance, technical indicators such as RSI and MACD, screening strategies, a portfolio tracker and a trade journal. Core tools need no API key; backtesting and deep-research extensions are optional.

The five-agent PaperOrchestra pipeline (outline, figures, literature review, section writing, polishing) as skills: turns research ideas, experiment logs and a conference template into a LaTeX paper and checks citations via Semantic Scholar. Needs Python; verify the draft yourself.
