Tools

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+.

Astral's extremely fast Python package and project manager written in Rust, replacing pip, pipx, poetry, pyenv and more. Supports lockfiles and multiple Python versions, and uvx runs Python tools without installing them.

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.

Adaptive web scraping framework: scrapling extract turns a page into Markdown, text or HTML in one command, with CSS selectors and browser rendering for dynamic pages, plus an MCP server (needs the ai extra). Needs Python 3.10+ and a browser install on first use.

Open-source, LLM-friendly web crawler that turns pages into clean Markdown for RAG and agents. Ships the crwl CLI and supports deep crawling and question-driven data extraction (extraction needs an LLM key). Free to self-host.

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.

Converts PDFs, images, PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, EPUB and more into Markdown, JSON or HTML, preserving tables, formulas and layout, with optional LLM help for higher accuracy. Needs Python 3.10+ and PyTorch; large-scale commercial use of the model weights needs a paid license.

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.

Version datasets and models the way Git versions code: data lives in remote storage like S3 or GCS while versions are tracked in your Git repo. Also offers reproducible pipelines and local experiment tracking, rerunning only the steps affected by a change.

MySQL terminal client with smart autocompletion and syntax highlighting, also compatible with MariaDB and TiDB. Supports --execute and batch mode with CSV or table output, so agents can run SQL directly.

Publishes SQLite databases as browsable, queryable web pages and JSON APIs, with SQL queries, metadata and plugins, and deploys to Cloud Run and other platforms with datasette publish. Great for data exploration and data journalism. Needs Python 3.10+.

Scans files and directories for personal data such as names, emails and credit card numbers using Presidio Analyzer, with configurable entity types, confidence thresholds and ignore rules. Needs Python 3.10+ and a spaCy language model.

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.

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.

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.

Python library and CLI for extracting main web content: fetches pages, crawls via sitemaps and RSS feeds, strips headers, footers and other noise, and outputs TXT, Markdown, JSON, XML and more with metadata. Also processes downloaded HTML offline.

Veteran suite of CSV command-line tools: in2csv converts Excel and JSON to CSV, csvcut, csvgrep and csvsort filter and sort, csvstat computes statistics, and csvsql runs SQL directly against CSV files.

Framework for writing data transformation models in SQL or Python, with a Terraform-like plan/apply flow, virtual data environments, unit tests and table diffs, and transpilation across 10+ SQL dialects. A Linux Foundation project and an alternative to dbt.

A CLI and Python library by Simon Willison: imports JSON and CSV straight into SQLite with automatic table creation, runs in-memory SQL queries over files, and supports full-text search and table transformations.

Uses Telethon to operate Telegram as your personal account: search, send and receive messages, schedule sends, and manage contacts, groups and channels across 80+ tools, with an optional read-only mode. Needs a Telegram API ID and runs locally as a service.

Gives agents controlled access to MySQL: list databases and tables, inspect schemas and sample data, and run SQL, with multi-database mode, SSL and SSH tunnels. Configure your own database user, ideally with least privilege.

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.

Lets agents read, search, organize and send email over IMAP/SMTP with any provider that supports them, across multiple accounts, with a local web UI for setup. Needs your email password or app password.

Apache Doris's official MCP: gives agents read-only access to explore table metadata, run and explain SQL, diagnose slow queries, and check cluster status, load jobs and data governance info. Needs Python 3.12+ and Doris 2.0 or later.
