Tools

Perplexity's official MCP with four tools: web search, grounded Q&A, deep research and reasoning, available remotely or run locally. Requires a Perplexity API key.

Runs open image models like FLUX, Qwen Image and Z-Image locally on a Mac: text-to-image, reference-based edits, inpainting and upscaling, all on-device. Needs Apple Silicon and uv; the first run downloads models and is slow. Check each model's license before commercial use.

A research-writing plugin from K-Dense: searches the literature in real time before drafting, then produces papers, reviews, grant proposals, posters and slides with verifiable citations and figures. Literature search needs a Parallel API key; PDF output needs LaTeX.

Apify's official skill collection: picks from 130+ curated Actors to scrape public data from social networks, maps, e-commerce sites and more, and can also build, package and deploy Actors. Needs an Apify account; a free tier is available.

Four tools for real-time web search, page content extraction, site mapping and full-site crawling, available as a remote server or run locally. Maintained by Tavily; needs an API key or OAuth sign-in, and a free account is available.

Terraform and OpenTofu best practices from Anton Babenko: diagnoses the failure mode first, then guides testing, module structure, state management, CI/CD and security scanning. Works for AWS, Azure and GCP.

Turns a paper's method description (text or PDF) or data files into publication-ready diagrams and plots, with several AI reviewer roles refining each figure. Needs an OpenAI or Gemini API key (billed per image), Python and uv. A community reimplementation, not by the original paper's authors.

Two-stage deep research: drafts an editable outline for the topic, then parallel subagents search the web item by item and compile a Markdown report. Good for literature reviews, competitor research and due diligence. Install by copying files per the README, plus pip install pyyaml.

MiniMax's official CLI, built for agents: chat with MiniMax models from the terminal and generate images, video and speech, plus speech transcription, image understanding and web search. Works with the international platform. Requires a MiniMax Token Plan subscription.

A CLI and Python library by Simon Willison: imports JSON and CSV straight into SQLite with automatic table creation, runs in-memory SQL queries over files, and supports full-text search and table transformations.

A native Go MCP server for Kubernetes and OpenShift: talks to the API server directly to create, read, update and delete any resource, view pod logs, exec commands and install Helm charts, without needing kubectl. Supports multiple clusters.

Translates entire books: splits PDF, DOCX or EPUB into chunks for parallel subagents, keeps terminology consistent, resumes interrupted runs and verifies with hashes, then outputs HTML, DOCX, EPUB or PDF. Needs Calibre, Pandoc and Python.

The Linux Foundation's open-source compliance toolchain: analyzes project dependencies, scans licenses and copyrights, checks known vulnerabilities, flags policy violations and generates SBOMs and notice files. Needs Java 25 or Docker and ideally 8 GB RAM; have legal review license findings.

Unofficial Freshservice CLI built with Printing Press: lets AI check an IT agent's queue, flag tickets near SLA breach, search tickets and the knowledge base, gauge team workload, spot recurring issues and KB gaps, and manage changes and assets. Needs a Freshservice account and API key.

Unofficial Intercom CLI built with Printing Press, covering the full REST API: sync conversations and contacts for offline search, bulk-tag conversations about one incident, see customer overviews and SLA reports, and pull or push help articles. US, EU and AU regions; needs an access token.

Microsoft's official Azure DevOps MCP server: query and act on work items, repos, pull requests, build pipelines, test plans and wikis. Sign in with a Microsoft account that has access on first use; Microsoft recommends the no-install remote version instead.

Community-maintained GitLab MCP server: manage projects, merge requests, issues, pipelines, wikis and releases, with support for self-hosted instances and a read-only mode. Needs a GitLab personal access token or OAuth.

Self-hostable long-term memory for agents, offering MCP, a REST API and a web dashboard: semantic search, knowledge graph and automatic memory consolidation. Embeddings are computed locally; choose SQLite, Cloudflare or Milvus as the backend.

550+ medical research skills from AIPOCH: PubMed search strategy, study design and sample size, statistics and bioinformatics, journal writing and reviewer responses, all vetted by MedSkillAudit. Some need Python/R or database credentials; have researchers and clinicians review results.

Fetches US, Hong Kong and China A-share stock data with zero runtime dependencies: real-time quotes, daily, weekly and monthly candles and search as JSON, falling back across Tencent, Sina and Eastmoney sources. Also runs as an MCP server. Unofficial public APIs, no stability guarantee.

Searches and reads official Microsoft Learn documentation and code samples for Azure, .NET and more, so agents give fewer outdated answers about Microsoft tech. Maintained by Microsoft; the remote server is free and needs no key.

Netlify's official CLI: deploy sites, run projects locally with Netlify Dev, manage environment variables, Functions and Blobs, and call the Netlify API directly. Needs Node.js 22.13+ and a Netlify account.

A three-stage workflow for math modeling contests like MCM/ICM and CUMCM: analysis, solving and plotting in Python or MATLAB, and a Word (optionally LaTeX) paper, with stage-check subagents and OpenAlex plus AnySearch literature search. Generated papers are for reference only.

Multi-engine web search MCP with no API key, supporting Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Baidu, Sogou, CSDN, Juejin and more; also fetches page content, CSDN articles and GitHub READMEs. Ships a CLI and a local server too.
