Tools

Document parser from OpenDataLab that turns PDFs, images and Office files into Markdown or JSON, handling tables, formulas and complex layouts well, with page-by-page reading and citation anchors for agents. Parses locally by default; needs Python 3.10+.

Classic open-source OCR engine and CLI that reads text from images and outputs plain text, hOCR, searchable PDF or TSV. Supports 100+ languages; install the language data for each language you need.

Official OpenBB MCP server exposing the OpenBB Platform's equity, ETF, macroeconomic, crypto and news data to agents; enable only the tool categories you need to save context. Needs uv locally; some data sources need your own API keys. Not investment advice.

Command-line edition of the open-source OpenBB investment research platform: query stock prices, financial statements, macroeconomic and other financial data from the terminal, and automate data pulls with Routine scripts. Officially maintained; some sources need API keys.

Runs GitHub Actions workflows locally in Docker, so you can test .github/workflows changes without repeated commits and pushes, or use workflows as a local task runner. Needs Docker installed.

Official Cline CLI sharing its agent core with the VS Code extension: plan/act modes, MCP, checkpoints and subagents; --yolo and --json run it unattended in CI and scripts. Sign in with Cline or a ChatGPT subscription, or bring your own API key.

Agentless IT automation: uses SSH and playbooks for configuration management, app deployment, cloud orchestration and ad hoc commands at scale, with nothing to install on target machines. Maintained primarily by Red Hat.

Parses PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, images and audio, recovering layout, reading order, tables and formulas, and exports Markdown, HTML or lossless JSON. Started by IBM Research, now hosted by the LF AI & Data Foundation; runs fully locally.

Fast regex search across directories (command rg) that respects .gitignore, skips hidden and binary files by default and filters by file type. A go-to command for coding agents searching a codebase.

Community-maintained simplified command help with example-first pages for common CLI tools, easier to read than man. Install an official client (Python, Rust or Node.js), then run tldr followed by a command name.

A cat replacement with syntax highlighting, line numbers and Git change markers, plus --line-range to print specific lines. Falls back to plain text in pipes and other non-interactive use, and pairs with git diff or tail -f for code and logs.

'rsync for cloud storage': sync and copy files across dozens of providers such as S3, Google Drive, OneDrive and Alibaba Cloud OSS, with encryption and mounting. Set up remotes with rclone config before use.

Creates a local CA with one command and issues development HTTPS certificates trusted by your system and browsers, for localhost, IPs and wildcard domains, with no extra configuration. Run mkcert -install once first to add the root certificate to the trust store.

Guides agents to the right statistical method for research data: t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square, regression and Bayesian analysis, checking assumptions, computing effect sizes and power, and reporting results in APA format. Python-based (pingouin, statsmodels); by K-Dense.

Teaches agents standard single-cell RNA-seq analysis with Scanpy: QC, normalization, PCA/UMAP, clustering, differential expression and plots, with ready-to-run pipeline scripts and guidance on converting Seurat and other R objects to h5ad. Needs Python 3.12+; by K-Dense.

Unified database lookup skill from K-Dense's scientific collection: reproducibly queries about 80 public database APIs such as PubChem, UniProt, ChEMBL, ClinicalTrials.gov and FRED, returning traceable results with endpoints, parameters and count checks. Some need API keys.

Terminal multiplexer built for coding agents: run Claude Code, Codex and others in split panes, each marked working, blocked or idle, with sessions surviving disconnects. Agents can also create panes and message each other through the CLI.

Package manager for macOS and Linux: agents can brew install CLI tools and desktop apps (casks), or use brew bundle to restore a dev environment from a Brewfile.

Terminal multiplexer: run multiple sessions and panes in one terminal, with processes surviving disconnects. Agents use it to host long-running tasks and drive interactive programs, and many parallel multi-agent session tools build on it.

HashiCorp's infrastructure-as-code tool: manage multi-cloud and SaaS resources with declarative config, previewing changes with plan before running apply. Providers cover all major clouds. Licensed under BSL 1.1.

Collection of 2,400+ installable SKILL.md skills across development, security, cloud and ops, AI, marketing and more, with the AAS Core local MCP and an installer that help agents search, pick skills and preview install plans. Formerly antigravity-awesome-skills.

Connects Claude Code to the Pyright language server for static type checking and code intelligence in Python. Install pyright first with npm, pip or pipx. Official Anthropic plugin.

HashiCorp's official Terraform plugin: runs the Terraform MCP Server in Docker against the Terraform Registry and HCP Terraform API to look up provider and module docs and help write IaC. Needs Docker; TFE_TOKEN is optional.

Connects Claude Code to gopls, Go's official language server, for code intelligence, refactoring and analysis. Install gopls with go install and add Go's bin directory to PATH first. Official Anthropic plugin.
