01 Agent abilities

Skills · MCPs |
Skills
| 01 |
google-agents-cli-observability
This setup gives deployed ADK agents Cloud Trace by default, then adds privacy-controlled prompt logging and structured BigQuery event analytics once Terraform-managed storage and identities are provisioned.
Why it matters: It separates immediate trace visibility from the infrastructure and IAM work needed to retain prompts and analyze agent behavior at scale.
Reliability
Engineering ops
|
| 02 |
exploiting-broken-link-hijacking
It spiders a site to find externally hosted scripts and referenced domains, then checks DNS, CNAME, and registration records for expired or unclaimed resources that could enable broken-link hijacking.
Why it matters: It gives security teams a concrete review list for external references with stale domain ownership.
Security
Risk control
|
| 03 |
scrapling
Scrapling scrapes websites through stealth browsing and includes a Cloudflare-bypass capability, aimed at reaching pages that conventional browser automation may not access during data collection.
Why it matters: Useful when site access, rather than extraction logic, is blocking a research workflow.

latchshot-page-capture
Latchshot saves screenshots, thumbnails, full-page captures, or PDFs of public HTTP(S) pages as local files, supporting report production, QA checks, archival records, and social-preview preparation.
Why it matters: It gives teams a repeatable local artifact for reviewing or preserving a public page instead of relying on a live URL.
Creative QA
Workflow
|
MCPs
| 01 |
paper-search
paper-search gives an MCP and CLI for finding and downloading academic papers across sources such as arXiv, bringing paper retrieval into an agent or terminal workflow.
Why it matters: It puts cross-source paper search and downloads directly inside the tools used to run research workflows.
Knowledge ops
Agents
+2,478 pulls on Docker Hub since yesterday |
| 02 |
api2ai
api2ai converts any OpenAPI specification into a production-ready MCP server through the mcp-use framework, giving developers a direct path from an existing API definition to a usable MCP implementation.
Why it matters: It is useful when an API already has an OpenAPI spec and the goal is to expose it through MCP.
Engineering
Automation
+1,988 downloads on npm since yesterday |
| 03 |
time
This server provides time and timezone conversion capabilities, letting an agent translate times between zones rather than relying on an application-specific conversion step during execution.
Why it matters: Use it when workflows need consistent cross-time-zone handling without building that conversion into each application.
Automation
Workflow
+1,843 pulls on Docker Hub since yesterday; +25 installs in Cline |
| 04 |
memorix
memorix provides a local-first shared memory layer that lets AI coding agents retain context across MCP clients, Git history, reasoning traces, and project sessions in one place.
Why it matters: It can reduce lost context when work moves between agent clients and project sessions.
Memory
Engineering
+5,193 downloads on npm since yesterday |
| 05 |
grafana
Grafana now has an MCP server, providing a standard interface for connecting agent workflows to Grafana rather than treating dashboard and observability work as a separate tool surface.
Why it matters: Teams using Grafana can evaluate it as a direct integration point for agent-driven operational workflows.
