Tools

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.

Helps agents write geospatial SQL for PostGIS, DuckDB, BigQuery and Snowflake: inspect schemas and keep query costs in check, then render results as interactive maps to review and correct. Needs Python and your own database or warehouse; maps use Dekart, which can run locally in Docker.

Official SonarSource server: connects to SonarQube Server or Cloud so agents can query code issues, quality gates, security hotspots and dependency risks, and analyze file contents directly. Needs a SonarQube token; Docker is the recommended way to run it.

Official Firecrawl skill: drives the Firecrawl CLI to search, scrape, map site URLs, batch-crawl, interact with pages and monitor changes, returning LLM-ready Markdown. Search and scrape have a rate-limited free tier; crawling and monitoring need an account or self-hosted instance.

Firecrawl's official CLI: scrape, search, map and crawl sites and interact with pages in a browser from the terminal, with Markdown output; can also install companion skills for coding agents. Needs a Firecrawl account or API key, or point it at a self-hosted instance.

Searches about 30 biomedical sources, including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinVar and OncoKB, with one command syntax, covering literature, clinical trials, genetic variants, drugs and pathways. Ships as both a CLI and an MCP server.

Redis's official MCP server: read and write strings, hashes, lists, streams, JSON and other data structures in natural language, with vector indexing and search and pub/sub. Bring your own Redis instance; runs via uvx.

Anthropic's official life sciences plugin marketplace: install MCP plugins such as PubMed, BioRender, Synapse, ChEMBL and 10x Genomics, plus research skills for single-cell RNA QC, Nextflow pipelines and scvi-tools. Some data sources need an account or subscription.

Lets agents read dbt project models, lineage and Semantic Layer metrics, run build, run and test commands, and call the dbt platform Discovery and Admin APIs. Maintained by dbt Labs; Semantic Layer and platform tools need a dbt platform account.

Official DuckDB skills: query local or S3 CSV, Parquet, Excel and JSON files with SQL or plain language, attach databases, convert formats, analyze spatial data and look up documentation. Needs the DuckDB CLI; tested only on macOS and Linux.

Chroma's official MCP: lets agents create and manage collections, add documents, and retrieve them with vector search, full-text search and metadata filters. Connects to in-memory or local persistent stores, self-hosted instances or Chroma Cloud.

Elastic's official skills teaching agents to use Elasticsearch and Kibana correctly: index design, ES|QL queries, search relevance tuning, dashboards, observability troubleshooting and security alert triage. Currently a technical preview.

Official FSFE command-line tool that checks every file in a project for copyright and license information per the REUSE spec, adds headers in bulk, downloads license texts and generates an SPDX bill of materials. Needs Python; have legal review the results.

Lets agents send and read channel messages and DMs through your own Discord bot, and manage channels, roles, member timeouts and scheduled events, useful for running a community or player support on Discord. Create a bot in the Discord Developer Portal for a token; needs Docker.

Official ClickHouse skills: best practices for schema design, primary keys, JOINs and inserts ranked by impact, advice on real-time architecture decisions, in-process SQL and pandas-compatible analysis with chDB, and local and cloud deployment workflows.

MCP server for the Lean 4 theorem prover: lets agents read proof goals, diagnostics and definitions and search theorems via LeanSearch and Loogle, helping mathematicians and students with formal proofs. Needs uv and the Lean toolchain; run it from the Lean project root.

Google's official security MCP servers for Google SecOps (Chronicle), SecOps SOAR, Google Threat Intelligence and Security Command Center: investigate alerts, hunt threats, look up IOCs and review cloud risks. Needs Google Cloud credentials or a VirusTotal API key.

Connects Stata to VS Code or Cursor and exposes a local MCP endpoint so Claude Code or Codex can write and run do-files and read regression output, with graphs shown in the editor; for empirical research. Needs a licensed Stata 17+, the extension installed and the editor open.

Official ElevenLabs skills: text to speech, speech to text, sound effects and music generation, voice changing, vocal isolation, multilingual dubbing and building voice agents. Needs an ElevenLabs API key.

Official Tavily skills: let agents search the web, extract page content, discover site URLs, crawl in bulk and run cited deep research through the Tavily CLI (tvly). Install the CLI first; search and extract have a limited no-login tier, other features need sign-in or an API key.

Astronomer's official data engineering plugin: write Airflow DAGs to best practices, debug pipeline failures, trace data lineage, profile warehouse tables and migrate from Airflow 2 to 3, with a built-in Airflow MCP server and session hooks.

Read and write Airtable bases: view table schemas, search, create and update records and add comments, handy for sign-up lists, project tracking, clients and content pipelines. Needs an Airtable account with a personal access token, and Node.js.

Microsoft Teams MCP open-sourced by Inditex: read messages in a set channel, start threads, reply and @mention members, and list members. Requires an Azure app registration and a Teams bot (usually with IT admin help); runs via Docker or Python 3.12 with uv.

68 trading and quant skills focused on crypto and DeFi: market and on-chain data, technical indicators, backtesting, position sizing and risk, prediction markets, and tax tools for cost basis and wash sales. Most need Python and data API keys (often free tiers); get expert review.
