Three MCP servers that enhance agent workflows.
npm i -g mcp-omnisearch mcp-sqlite-tools mcpick
Unified search across Tavily, Brave, Kagi, Perplexity, GitHub, and more.
GitHub: https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch
Config (~/.claude/settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-omnisearch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-omnisearch"],
"env": {
"TAVILY_API_KEY": "your-key",
"BRAVE_API_KEY": "your-key",
"KAGI_API_KEY": "your-key"
}
}
}
}
Use when: Web search, GitHub code search, AI-powered answers, content extraction.
Safe SQLite operations with read/write separation and transaction support.
GitHub: https://github.com/spences10/mcp-sqlite-tools
Config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-sqlite-tools": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-sqlite-tools"]
}
}
}
Use when: Query databases, analyze data, manage SQLite files.
Dynamically enable/disable MCP servers to optimize context usage.
GitHub: https://github.com/spences10/mcpick
Install: npm i -g mcpick
Usage:
mcpick enable omnisearch sqlite-tools
mcpick disable memory-server
mcpick list
Use when: Too many MCPs eating context, need to toggle servers per-project.
| Workflow | Enable |
|---|---|
| Research | omnisearch |
| Data analysis | sqlite-tools |
| Full stack | omnisearch + sqlite-tools |
| Minimal context | Use mcpick to toggle as needed |
Query Claude Code session analytics from ccrecall database. Use when user asks about token usage, session history, or wants to analyze their Claude Code usage patterns.
High-leverage prompts that challenge Claude's defaults. Use for "grill me", "prove it works", "scrap this", "what would 10x engineer do", "find ways this fails".
Maintain CLAUDE.md files effectively. Use when adding lessons learned, updating conventions, or restructuring project instructions.
