Tools

The official MCP debugging tool: connect to any MCP server through a web UI, CLI or terminal UI to list and call its tools, resources and prompts. CLI mode outputs JSON, suited to scripts and CI smoke tests.

Universal psql-style SQL command line: one tool to connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle and dozens of other SQL and NoSQL databases, with support for copying data between databases.

Processes CSV, TSV, JSON and other structured data like awk, sed, cut, join and sort, but by field name, for cleaning, aggregation, format conversion and pretty-printing. The command is mlr; written in Go with no runtime dependencies.

Open-source research agent: one command runs literature reviews, deep research, paper reviews, paper-code consistency checks and replication plans, searching arXiv, PubMed and more with sources recorded. Good for grad students writing reviews. Run feynman setup to sign in to a model provider.

Linter and formatter for 20+ SQL dialects that auto-fixes most issues and handles Jinja templating and dbt projects (dbt needs a plugin), suited to warehouse code review and CI.

Official AWS MCP for managing FHIR health data in AWS HealthLake: CRUD, advanced search, full patient records, and import and export, with a read-only mode to prevent changes. Needs an AWS account, a paid HealthLake data store and local AWS credentials; clinical conclusions need professional review.

Distributed data integration tool and Apache top-level project with 160+ connectors for batch, real-time and CDC sync. Define jobs in config files and run them on the built-in Zeta engine or on Flink or Spark. Requires Java.

NVIDIA's open-source LLM vulnerability scanner that probes for prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, hallucination and harmful content, supporting OpenAI, Hugging Face, Bedrock and most REST-accessible models. Scanning cloud models needs their API keys.

High-accuracy retrieval-augmented Q&A over paper PDFs, text and Office documents, filling in citation metadata, checking retractions and attaching traceable sources to answers. Provides the pqa CLI and a Python library. Needs an LLM API key by default; local models can be configured.

Terminal tool for exploring and wrangling tabular data: opens dozens of formats including CSV, JSON, Excel and SQLite for filtering, sorting, pivots and frequency counts. --batch mode replays actions headlessly or converts file formats.

Say build a harness for this project and it designs a domain-specific agent team, generating subagent definitions, companion skills and orchestration, validates them and keeps evolving them from feedback. Supports workflow orchestration, persistent agent teams and subagent delegation.

Manage database schemas as code: declare the desired schema in SQL, HCL or your ORM and Atlas plans, lints and applies migrations, and can export existing databases as HCL, SQL or Mermaid ER diagrams. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL and a dozen other databases.

Converts the output of 100+ commands such as dig, ps, ls and ifconfig, plus common file formats, into JSON so agents can parse it reliably with jq or scripts. Also usable as a Python library.

Offline speech toolkit for Apple Silicon Macs: CLI text-to-speech (including Chinese and voice cloning) and speech-to-text, for voicing lessons and explainer videos or transcribing lectures and interviews, with data staying local. Needs an M-series Mac and Python 3.10+; MP3 export needs ffmpeg.

Query, modify and convert JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, HCL, INI and more with one selector syntax, editing config files in place or converting between formats, handy for agents handling structured data in scripts. A single dependency-free binary that works much like jq or yq.

Diffusion model inference in pure C/C++: one sd-cli command runs SD, FLUX, Qwen Image, Wan and more locally to create or edit images and short videos, with Metal acceleration on Mac. No cloud needed; bring your own model weights and use a release binary or build from source.

Scrapes web pages into Markdown or structured data, with full-site crawling, sitemaps, web search and interaction with dynamic pages. Maintained by Firecrawl; the cloud needs an API key (self-hosting is possible), and the keyless hosted endpoint only offers scrape, search and parse.

Turns Peng Sida's public research-writing notes into a skill: revises abstracts, introductions, methods and experiments of ML/CV/NLP papers from a reviewer's view, checks that each claim has experimental evidence, and runs a pre-submission self-check. Pure methodology, no API key.

Open-source LLM evaluation platform: one opencompass command picks the model and datasets and runs the evaluation across hundreds of benchmarks. Works with local Hugging Face models and API models, with vLLM and LMDeploy for faster inference.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for Outlook mail: triages your inbox, summarizes threads, extracts action items, and drafts replies or forwards, for people who handle heavy email loads. Requires Codex with a ChatGPT sign-in and an authorized Microsoft account.

Turns conversations and notes into structured Notion pages such as team wikis, how-to guides, decision records and FAQs, linked to related pages. From OpenAI's official plugin repo (developer: Notion); needs the Notion MCP.

Creates, edits and validates reproducible Python and SQL Jupyter notebooks: organizes cells as reports or tutorials, checks conclusions against actual output and reruns top to bottom before handoff. Maintained by OpenAI in the Data Analytics plugin of openai/plugins.

Build with OpenAI best practices inside Codex: call the OpenAI API, build and deploy agents with the Agents SDK, create ChatGPT apps and prepare submission materials, and create API keys directly. Maintained by OpenAI; Codex only.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that uses the Gmail connector to search mail, read threads, draft replies and tidy your inbox. The plugin bundles no extra skills; authorize your Google account in Codex.
