Unofficial MCP server for working with Kagi without API access (you'll need to be a customer, tho). Searches and summarizes. Uses Kagi session token for easy authentication.

MCP Long Context Reader is a Python-based toolkit designed to overcome the context window limitations and high costs associated with Large Language Models (LLMs) processing extensive documents. It provides a FastMCP server with multiple, powerful strategies for an LLM agent to 'read' and query long documents without needing to load the entire text into its context window.

Enables any LLM to process arbitrarily long contexts through recursive decomposition, without requiring external LLM APIs.

Enables agents to parse resumes and job postings into structured OTP/OJP skeletons, validate them against JSON Schema, and extract agent-friendly summaries, all without LLM calls.

Enables AI agents to search, watch, summarize, clip, and extract transcripts from YouTube videos, all without needing an API key or leaving the chat.

Enables transcription, summarization, and action item extraction from audio files on your Mac using MacWhisper and Claude Desktop, all locally without any cloud APIs.

Enables analysis of YouTube videos using the Gemini API to generate summaries and answer specific questions via direct URLs. It supports standard videos and shorts, allowing users to interact with video content without requiring manual downloads.

Enables MCP clients to list available caption languages, fetch publicly available YouTube caption tracks with timestamps, and request client-assisted summaries without transcribing audio.

An MCP server that enables web searching, URL content extraction, and summarization without requiring API keys. It also provides advanced mathematical evaluation and multi-language Wikipedia summary retrieval tools.

Enables AI assistants to search YouTube, fetch transcripts, and get AI summaries of videos without API keys.

A personal MCP for WhatsApp, with voice-note and call transcripts. Search and summarize your chats, read what was said in voice notes and calls, and organize chats, labels, notes, reminders and scheduled messages. Runs locally with the Kaption extension for WhatsApp Web (Chrome, Edge) or the Kaption desktop app. No send-now tool. Setup: https://kaptionai.com/mcp/

distill-mcp-v2 is a high-performance, network-dependency-free Python FastMCP server designed to aggressively optimize Large Language Model (LLM) context windows. It provides specialized tools for compressing and analyzing massive AI-agent payloads without losing critical semantic information.

MCP server that fetches YouTube video transcripts and creates Notion pages with summaries. Enables Claude Desktop to summarize videos and save them to Notion.

Access 50+ AI-generated book summaries and chapter breakdowns directly in Claude Desktop. Search books by title, author, or ISBN, and get instant access to key insights from business, self-help, and educational books.

A TypeScript-based MCP server that implements a simple notes system, allowing users to create, access, and generate summaries of notes via Claude Desktop integration.

NLP without the bloat — 45 tools for sentiment, keywords, readability, summarization. Zero heavy dependencies. 42KB wheel.

Enables Claude Desktop to generate text and analyze images using Google's Gemini Pro API. Provides seamless integration between Claude and Gemini's AI capabilities through natural language commands.

A lightweight server that provides detailed text analysis, counting total characters, characters without spaces, letters, numbers, and symbols for AI assistants like Claude Desktop and GitHub Copilot.

Enables every coding agent session, on every machine you use, to share one permanent word-for-word memory that is folded into a binary tree of one-line summaries, so a fresh session can read the whole history in a fixed-size view and zoom into any line down to the original message. Summaries are produced by your own agents through the server's compaction tools, with no model or API key required, and machines synchronize through a shared folder without any central owner.

A TypeScript-based MCP server that implements a simple notes system, allowing users to create, access, and generate summaries of text notes through Claude Desktop.

Connect WhatsApp to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client. Search and summarize chats, look up contacts and groups, read voice-note transcripts, and manage labels, reminders and scheduled messages. Works while the Kaption extension for WhatsApp Web or the Kaption desktop app is open.

Enables audio transcription, intelligent splitting, and meeting analysis for MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop.

Enables autonomous agents to keep long-running conversations within configurable token budgets by compacting message arrays, preserving system instructions and recent turns while distilling older history into concise summaries. This prevents context window exhaustion without external LLM dependencies.

Automated arXiv research paper discovery and AI-powered summarization system that enables Claude Desktop users to search, retrieve, and get intelligent summaries of academic papers through MCP integration.

Enables AI agents to query and recall your entire Gmail inbox locally, providing fast summarization and semantic search without relying on Gmail's search API.

Exposes standup workflow tools (list members, start standup, record replies, list non-responders, generate digest) and skill resources via MCP, enabling AI agents to automate standup collection and summarization without direct Slack access.

Enables users to transform raw multi-source enterprise findings into complete, structured strategic documents, auto-generating executive summaries, risk registers, decision matrices, and appendix citations.
