From Callstack: lets coding agents inspect, operate and verify apps on iOS, Android and HarmonyOS simulators and real devices, reading accessibility snapshots, taking screenshots and recordings, and capturing logs and performance data. Ships both a CLI and a built-in MCP server.

CLI and TypeScript runtime for discovering and calling MCP servers from the terminal and scripts: list tool signatures and call tools directly, or generate a standalone CLI or typed client from a server. Auto-imports existing MCP configs from Claude Code, Codex and others.

Runs Google Lighthouse across an entire site (sampling similar pages smartly) and summarizes SEO, performance and accessibility scores page by page in a local web UI; unlighthouse-ci writes reports directly for agents to read. Great for site-wide SEO checkups. Needs Node.js 22.18+.

Stores agent memory as local Markdown notes that both people and AI can read, write, search and link, and you can open them directly in Obsidian. Local-first, open source and free, with a paid cloud sync option.

Visually compares two PDFs page by page: reports differences via exit code, writes a PDF with differences highlighted, or opens a GUI for side-by-side review. Useful for checking contract or generated-document revisions. No longer actively developed.

Teaches agents to code against the latest Gemini API and Python/TypeScript SDKs: multi-turn chat, function calling, structured output, and image and speech generation, while avoiding deprecated older models. Maintained by Google's Gemini team.
