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.

Converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, images, audio and more into Markdown that keeps headings, lists and tables, ready for LLMs to read and analyze. Maintained by Microsoft; requires Python 3.10+.

Microsoft's open-source AI quant investment research platform: the qrun command runs dataset building, model training, backtesting and evaluation from a YAML config, with many benchmark models. The official dataset is paused, so prepare market data per the README first.

Drafts self-reviews, peer reviews, 360 and upward feedback in STAR structure with concrete examples instead of filler, as Markdown drafts it never submits. With Microsoft WorkIQ it gathers your contributions from Microsoft 365 mail and meetings; otherwise it works from your notes.

Microsoft's official skill collection: 170+ skills focused on Azure SDKs (Python, .NET, TypeScript, Java, Rust) and Microsoft Foundry development, plus plugins, custom agents and MCP configs. Microsoft recommends picking skills per project rather than installing them all.

Works with Outlook mail and calendar, OneDrive, Excel, OneNote, To Do and more through Microsoft Graph, plus Teams and SharePoint in organization mode. Community-maintained, with a read-only mode.

Microsoft's official Microsoft 365 MCP: query your email, meetings, OneDrive and SharePoint files, Teams messages and colleagues in plain language, e.g. tomorrow's meetings or someone's budget emails. Needs a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, tenant admin consent and Node.js 18+; public preview.

Microsoft Teams MCP open-sourced by Inditex: read messages in a set channel, start threads, reply and @mention members, and list members. Requires an Azure app registration and a Teams bot (usually with IT admin help); runs via Docker or Python 3.12 with uv.

Manages Outlook mail, calendar, folders and inbox rules through Microsoft Graph, uploads, searches and shares OneDrive files, and can trigger Power Automate flows. Register an Azure app for a client ID and secret, clone and run it with Node.js, and sign in via the auth server on first use.

Microsoft Translator's translation quality tool: GPT scores each sentence using MQM error categories or a direct score; --list_mqm_errors shows error types and severity. Needs line-aligned source and target files, Python and an OpenAI or Azure OpenAI key (paid); a translator should still review.
