Unified search across 20+ academic sources including arXiv, PubMed, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex, returning deduplicated, normalized results and downloading full text via open-access channels first. Most sources need no API key.

Builds landing pages in two halves: intake questions, page structure, layout choice, conversion copy and SEO first, then a strict visual system for fonts, Tailwind type scale, spacing, radius, backgrounds, icons and motion. The rules are opinionated, e.g. no Inter font and no background gradients.

Python library with a built-in MCP server for US SEC EDGAR data: search 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings and read XBRL-standardized financial statements, Form 4 insider trades and 13F holdings. Free with no API key; just set an EDGAR_IDENTITY.

Bright Data's official MCP: web search (Google, Bing, Yandex), any page to Markdown, structured data extraction from e-commerce, social and other platforms, and remote browser control. Needs an API token; includes 5,000 free requests a month.

Simon Willison's website screenshot CLI: batch screenshots from YAML, record demo videos, export PDF and HTML, run JavaScript in pages to extract data, and dump accessibility trees. Built on Playwright; install a browser on first use.

Lets agents read and write Figma: extract variables, components and styles, create and edit screens, FigJam boards and slides on the canvas, and run accessibility checks and design-system audits. Needs a Figma personal access token, the Figma desktop app, Node.js and the companion plugin.

Gives agents a live local Excalidraw canvas: add, edit and delete elements to draw architecture diagrams and flowcharts, take screenshots to check the result, convert Mermaid and export .excalidraw files. Runs locally with no API key; also ships a CLI and an agent skill.

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.

65 skills built on methods from business, marketing and design bestsellers like Influence, StoryBrand and The Lean Startup: positioning, copywriting, conversion optimization, sales negotiation, UX review, plus step-by-step startup and site-building guides. Prompt-only, no API key needed.

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.

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.

TypeUI's design fundamentals skill: general UI and interaction principles covering visual hierarchy, spacing, typography, 30 laws of interaction and WCAG accessibility. Needs Node.js to install; the TypeUI design-system library needs its hosted MCP and sign-in.

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.

Turns Figma designs into production code in your project, using the design screenshot as the visual target and reusing existing components, design tokens and Code Connect mappings first. Maintained by Figma; needs the Figma MCP server (free plans get only 6 calls a month).

Figma's official plugin: connects the remote Figma MCP server and bundles skills for design-to-code, Code Connect, and generating designs and libraries, letting agents read design context and write to the canvas. Needs a Figma account; Starter plans and View/Collab seats get 6 calls a month.

Figma's official skill collection: implement designs as code, map components with Code Connect, generate design-system libraries from code, and build screens and FigJam diagrams on the canvas. Needs the Figma MCP server; canvas writes are in beta and currently free.

Figma's official skill that teaches agents to run Plugin API scripts via use_figma, creating and editing nodes, components, variables and auto layout directly on the canvas. Load it before any use_figma call. Needs a Figma account and the remote MCP server.

Figma's official skill: the agent writes Mermaid, then uses the Figma MCP to build flowcharts and sequence, state, Gantt and ER diagrams in FigJam for you to tweak by hand. Unsupported types like pie charts and mind maps are flagged upfront. Needs a Figma account and the remote MCP server.

Figma's official skill for building FigJam boards through the Figma MCP: sticky notes, sections, connectors, shapes and tables for brainstorms, retros and meetings. Needs a Figma account, the remote MCP server and the figma-use skill; canvas writes are free in beta; usage pricing is planned.
