Tools

Recommends daily papers from arXiv and Semantic Scholar by research interest, reads them and writes illustrated Obsidian notes and a paper graph; can also search venues like CVPR and NeurIPS. Needs Python 3, Obsidian, a vault path and an interests config; the web app needs an Anthropic API key.

Before tool calls run, blocks destructive Git and file commands (git reset --hard, rm -rf) and access to sensitive files like SSH keys and .env. Parses command semantics, so bash -c wrappers are caught too. Works with Claude Code, Codex and other coding CLIs; needs Node.js 18+.

Fly.io's official CLI (fly): sign in, create and deploy apps, and list apps and check their status, reading fly.toml in the current directory to identify the app. Needs a Fly.io account.

Manages stacked branches and dependent pull requests with the gh stack GitHub CLI extension: splits work into layered branches with one PR each, then handles push, submit, sync, rebase and merge, using flags that keep commands non-interactive for agents. Official GitHub skill.

MathWorks' official server that lets agents start your local MATLAB, write and run scripts and unit tests, and check code style and potential errors, for computing, simulation and data analysis. Needs a licensed MATLAB R2021a+ and the downloaded server binary.

Lets agents drive WinDbg's CDB/KD to analyze crash dumps, debug user-mode processes remotely and debug kernels, and triage many dumps in a batch. Windows only; requires WinDbg or Debugging Tools for Windows.

Docker's official MCP gateway (the docker mcp CLI plugin): runs servers from the Docker MCP Catalog in isolated containers, manages secrets, OAuth and tool toggles centrally, and gives multiple clients one endpoint. Built into Docker Desktop 4.59+; Docker CE and other setups must build the plugin.

Microsoft's official Azure skill set: deployment prep and validation, deployment, production diagnostics, AKS, quota lookup, compliance audits, cloud migration and Foundry; the plugin version also connects the Azure MCP Server. Needs an Azure account and az login.

Microsoft's official Azure plugin: bundles 20+ skills such as azure-prepare, azure-deploy, azure-diagnostics and azure-cost, and connects the Azure MCP and Foundry MCP to query resources, estimate costs, deploy and troubleshoot. Needs an Azure subscription and az login.

Uses the Qdrant vector database as a semantic memory layer for agents: store information and retrieve it by meaning, connecting to a remote instance or a local path, with FastEmbed generating embeddings by default. Maintained by Qdrant.

HashiCorp's official server: looks up provider, module and policy docs in the Terraform Registry to help write IaC; with an HCP Terraform token it can also manage workspaces, variables and runs. Runs in Docker by default.

Connects LLMs to ROS and ROS 2 robots: publish and subscribe to topics, call services and actions, set parameters, and read sensor and robot state, without changing robot code. The robot side needs rosbridge running.

A plugin marketplace with dozens of plugins: an enhanced skill-creator, scrapers for Bilibili, Douban and Feishu docs, China A-share news and US stock fundamentals, WeCom notifications, deep research and fact-checking, with docs in English and Chinese.

Manages a Microsoft 365 tenant with one m365 command: SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Outlook, Planner, Power Platform and more, with JSON output and JMESPath filtering. An open-source PnP community project, not officially supported by Microsoft; register an Entra app before signing in.

Gives agents controlled access to MySQL: list databases and tables, inspect schemas and sample data, and run SQL, with multi-database mode, SSL and SSH tunnels. Configure your own database user, ideally with least privilege.

Web search and page reading for agents through a self-hosted or trusted SearXNG metasearch instance, with no paid search API key. Requires a SearXNG instance with JSON output enabled.

Connects agents to live Jupyter notebooks: read, write, insert and execute cells and read multimodal outputs like charts, for interactive data analysis. Bring your own JupyterLab or JupyterHub; open source, maintained by Datalayer.

Pulls new papers from Hugging Face Daily Papers and arXiv, scores them by research area into a recommendation page, and writes deep-read Obsidian notes for key ones; can also batch-read Zotero collections. Needs Python 3, Obsidian and poppler; copy the whole skills folder per the README.

LangChain's official skill collection: framework selection, quickstarts, middleware, persistence, human-in-the-loop approval, RAG and eval design across LangChain, LangGraph and Deep Agents, in Python and TypeScript. Also installable as a Claude Code plugin. Still in early development.

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.

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.

PortSwigger's official Burp Suite extension that lets agents read proxy history, send HTTP requests and create Repeater tabs; with Burp Pro it can also read scan results and use Collaborator. Install from the BApp Store; listens on 127.0.0.1:9876 by default.

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.

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.
