Tools

From Microsoft: converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML and other files or URLs to Markdown so agents can read and search them. A single convert_to_markdown tool over STDIO or local HTTP.

Gives agents long-term memory across sessions with a local knowledge graph of entities, relations and observations, stored in a local JSONL file you can query and edit. Official MCP reference implementation.

Lets agents model, lay out scenes, tweak materials and run Python in Blender, and import Poly Haven, Sketchfab and AI-generated 3D assets. Requires uv and the companion Blender add-on.

Google's open-source database MCP server with ready-made query and SQL tools for dozens of sources, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, Spanner and MongoDB. Define controlled custom queries in tools.yaml.

Figma's official remote MCP: hands components, variables and layout from your designs to the agent to generate code, and can create and edit designs on the canvas. Needs Figma sign-in; Starter plans and View or Collab seats get only 6 read calls a month.

Local MCP server built into Browser Use: lets agents navigate, click, type and extract page content, or hand multi-step tasks to the built-in browser agent. Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key.

Open-source local design workbench and Claude Design alternative: builds web and mobile prototypes, slides, images and motion videos from a DESIGN.md system, exporting HTML, PDF, PPTX or MP4. MCP lets Claude Code and Codex use it. Needs the macOS or Windows app; Linux from source.

MCP server built into the adaptive Python scraping framework Scrapling: supports plain HTTP requests, browser rendering and stealth fetching, and uses CSS selectors to pass only the target content to the AI, saving tokens and filtering out prompt injection.

Official PaddleOCR MCP: text recognition and layout parsing for images and PDFs (PP-OCR, PP-StructureV3, PaddleOCR-VL), returning text or Markdown. Runs inference locally, or calls the official API or a self-hosted service.

Provides a sequential_thinking tool that guides the model to break complex problems into revisable, branching steps. Good for planning, analysis and tasks that need careful iteration. Official MCP reference server.

Official MCP reference server for reading, writing, editing, moving and searching local files within an allowlist of directories, adjustable at runtime through Roots. Handy for organizing documents from a desktop client.

Gives agents the current time and IANA time zone conversion, detecting the system time zone automatically. No API key needed. Official MCP reference server, written in Python.

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.

Official MCP for the open-source design tool Penpot: through the Penpot plugin API, agents can query, modify and generate designs, supporting design-to-code and code-to-design. Run npx -y @penpot/mcp@latest first and load the MCP plugin in Penpot to connect.

Official remote MCP for the open-source resume builder Reactive Resume: agents draft and edit resumes and cover letters, export PDFs and track applications; job-based scoring and tailoring need an AI provider set in the app. Needs a free rxresu.me account or a self-hosted instance.

PostHog's official hosted MCP: lets agents query product analytics with HogQL, manage feature flags and A/B experiments, and investigate errors and session replays. Sign in to PostHog to authorize; tool calls are free, though a few LLM-powered tools count toward AI usage.

Browser automation MCP server open-sourced by ByteDance in the UI-TARS-desktop repo: drives pages through Puppeteer accessibility data with an optional vision mode, running locally over stdio or remotely over SSE or Streamable HTTP.

Trading research agent from HKU's HKUDS whose MCP server offers 70+ tools for quotes, financials, backtesting and research across A-shares, Hong Kong and US stocks and crypto. Needs local Python; HK, US and crypto research need no API key. For research only; not investment advice.

Runs the cognee memory engine as an MCP server whose remember, recall and forget tools write documents and conversations into a knowledge graph and vector store for cross-session retrieval. Start it with Docker or uv first; needs an LLM API key by default, or connect to Cognee Cloud.

Writes conversations and business data into Graphiti's temporal knowledge graph so agents can retrieve long-term memory by entity, fact and time. Open source from Zep; start FalkorDB or Neo4j and the server with Docker first, and configure an LLM API key.

Open-source Zapier alternative with a built-in MCP server: agents can build and test automations in plain language, manage tables, or call hundreds of apps like email, spreadsheets and chat. Use the cloud or self-host, enable the MCP server in settings and connect via OAuth.

Skyvern's official MCP: drives a browser with vision LLMs to complete multi-step tasks like filling forms, downloading files and web research. Connect to Skyvern Cloud (OAuth or API key), or self-host Skyvern and run it as a local process.

Continuously records your screen and audio locally, extracting on-screen text and transcribing speech, so agents can search pages, docs and meetings you saw and summarize your day. Data stays local. Needs screenpipe running: source is free for personal use, desktop app is a subscription.

Official MCP from the FunASR project: transcribes audio files locally with the SenseVoice model, supporting Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese and Korean, with optional segment timestamps. Local inference needs no API key and audio stays on your machine. Docker image available.
