How it works

Search tools, get AI-ready metadata, or pipe structured JSON into your scripts and agents.

~

# search tools by what they do

$ littlescripts search json

jq               Command-line JSON processor

yq               YAML, JSON, XML, CSV processor

# get AI-ready metadata for any tool

$ littlescripts agents fzf

# fzf

> Interactive fuzzy-matching filter for the terminal.

## When to Use

- User needs to interactively pick items from a large list

- Building a selector/picker UI in a shell script

...

# or pipe JSON for scripts and AI agents

$ littlescripts info jq --json | jq '.ai.use_when'

[

"Extracting fields from API responses",

"Transforming JSON between formats",

"Pretty-printing JSON for readability"

]

For AI Agents

Every tool has structured AI metadata. Connect via MCP, fetch agents.md, or browse recipes.

MCP Server

Native tool-use for Claude Code and other MCP clients. Search tools, get metadata, find by task.

# add to MCP config

"littlescripts": {

"url":

"https://littlescripts.sh/mcp"

}

AGENTS.md

Condensed index of all 1977 tools in one file. Per-tool files with full metadata.

# full catalog

$ curl littlescripts.sh/agents.md

# per-tool detail

$ curl littlescripts.sh/agents/jq.md

Recipes

Multi-tool pipelines for common tasks. Find files, process JSON, search code, and more.

# find and open a file
