KausalFlow Tools: tools for academic research

Source of tools.kausalflow.com, a community-curated directory of tools for research: literature, writing, data analysis, code, project management and more. It grew out of Awesome Research Tools.

Every tool has its own page with a summary, features, categories, research fields, platforms, pricing and open-source alternatives.

Open data

• tools.json: the whole directory as JSON
• RSS
• llms.txt and llms-full.txt
• A Markdown version of every tool page at /tools/<slug>/index.md
• AI access: how assistants can use the directory, including the MCP server in workers/mcp

Add a tool

Use the submission form (no GitHub account needed) or the GitHub issue form. See CONTRIBUTING.md for what happens next and how to change the site itself.
