External tools we actually use.

Not an awesome-list. A short, opinionated shortlist of 16 GitHub projects that pair naturally with Claude, each with a specific reason to look at it.

Read this first

You can probably just build it.

Here’s what most courses won’t tell you: you rarely need a tool. A dozen lines of Python can merge PDFs, scrape a page, call an API, or rename a thousand files, and Claude writes that Python for you in seconds. Code is the universal tool, and you now have someone fluent in it sitting next to you.

So the repos below are accelerants, not requirements. Reach for one when the polished, maintained version genuinely saves you time, especially anything you’d self-host and run for your whole team. Otherwise, describe what you want to Claude and build the small thing yourself, shaped to your exact need. Want PDFs merged? That’s pypdf and ten lines. A website turned into a spreadsheet? requests + a parser. The world is genuinely your oyster.

Even these repos are reference material. Stuck on how to do something well? Point Claude at one of these projects and say “show me how they handle X”, then build your own version that does just what you need.

Self-hosting: Several below run on hardware you already own: a $5/mo VPS, a spare laptop, or a Mac Mini on your desk. Self-hosting means your data never leaves your control and you stop paying per-seat SaaS fees forever.

marketing videomedium

Remotion

Programmatic video creation: write React, get rendered MP4s. Marketing videos, explainers, ads, all in code.

How to use it with Claude: Use Claude to write the script + scene compositions; Remotion renders the actual video. Saves hundreds in editor time per asset.

official anthropiceasy

Anthropic Cookbook

Anthropic's official collection of code examples for using Claude: prompt patterns, tool use, retrieval, finetuning.

How to use it with Claude: Reference for any time you're building with the Claude API directly. Most patterns are cleaner than the third-party tutorials you'll find elsewhere.

official anthropiceasy

Claude Code

Anthropic's official CLI for using Claude in your terminal. Drives most of the workflows we teach.

How to use it with Claude: The skill files in our Drop-in Skills section above install into Claude Code. If you haven't used it yet, this is where to start.

ui / templateseasy

shadcn/ui

Component library you copy-paste into your project. Pair with Claude Code to spin up polished UIs in minutes.

How to use it with Claude: Tell Claude what page you want; it scaffolds with shadcn components. The Weeknight site itself uses these patterns.

ai building blocksmedium

Vercel AI SDK

Vercel's TypeScript SDK for streaming AI responses, tool use, and multi-provider model routing.

How to use it with Claude: Building your own product on top of Claude (or other models)? This is the path of least resistance for full-stack TypeScript apps.

automationadvanced

Browser Use

Lets Claude (or any LLM) drive a real browser: fill forms, scrape data, take actions on websites that have no API.

How to use it with Claude: For workflows that require interacting with sites that don't have APIs (legacy admin panels, vendor portals, internal tools). For simpler jobs, Claude can write a plain Playwright script instead.

  • Pull data from a vendor portal that has no API or export
  • Auto-fill a repetitive web form across hundreds of records
  • Drive a legacy admin panel on a schedule
official anthropicmedium

Claude Cookbooks (Community)

Anthropic's structured courses on prompt engineering, tool use, RAG, and agent building. Free.

How to use it with Claude: If you want the formal academic version of what Weeknight teaches in plain English, this is the path. We pull from these.

data + spreadsheetseasy

Supabase

Postgres + auth + storage + realtime, with a generous free tier. Or self-host the whole thing. The backend for most Claude-built apps.

How to use it with Claude: Claude Code can scaffold a Supabase-backed app in one prompt. Used by the Weeknight site you're on right now. The Workshop's Database & Auth module teaches it securely (with RLS).

  • The backend for any Claude-built app: auth, database, and file storage in one
  • Self-host it for full data ownership when customer data can't leave your servers
  • A private internal tool your team logs into, with row-level security

Self-host: Use the hosted free tier, or run the full open-source stack via Docker on a VPS, a spare PC, or a Mac Mini.

tradingadvanced

OpenAlice

An open-source AI trading agent, 'your one-person Wall Street.' Runs through the Claude Code CLI, unifies your brokers, and uses a Trading-as-Git workflow with a pre-trade safety pipeline.

How to use it with Claude: It's Claude-native: the workspace agent IS Claude Code. Our OpenAlice trading section teaches the literacy and method to run it responsibly. Experimental software; never trade money you can't lose.

agents & buildersmedium

Langflow

Open-source visual builder for AI agents and workflows: drag, drop, and wire up multi-agent flows, then ship them as an API. MIT-licensed; runs locally or in Docker.

How to use it with Claude: Prototype an agent visually, then have Claude Code turn the flow into clean code you own, or just run it as-is, since every node is editable Python.

  • A tier-1 support bot that answers the easy tickets and routes the hard ones to a human
  • A weekly content pipeline: research agent → draft → compliance check
  • Lead qualification that extracts structured data and syncs it to your CRM

Self-host: Runs locally, in Docker, or on any server. There's also a desktop app.

self-hostmedium

Open WebUI

A polished, self-hosted ChatGPT-style interface for any model: local ones via Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible API. Built-in RAG over your own docs, voice, web search. Runs fully offline.

How to use it with Claude: Give your whole team one private AI workspace that never sends data to a third party. Run local models for near-zero per-message cost, or point it at the Claude API when you want the big brain.

  • A private, on-prem AI for staff that keeps sensitive docs in-house
  • Cut API bills by running an open model locally for the routine stuff
  • A shared workspace where the team compares model outputs side by side

Self-host: Docker / Kubernetes / pip: on a server, a spare PC, or a Mac Mini.

self-hosteasy

Stirling-PDF

50+ PDF tools in one self-hosted web app (merge, split, OCR, redact, convert, compress, sign) plus no-code automation pipelines and a REST API. 'Edit PDFs on any device, anywhere.'

How to use it with Claude: Self-host it for private, no-upload PDF work, OR skip the repo entirely and have Claude write the ten lines of Python (pypdf) that do the one operation you actually need. Use Stirling as a reference for how it's done.

  • Batch-OCR a folder of scanned contracts so they become searchable
  • A private redaction + merge pipeline that never uploads a file to a stranger's server
  • A REST endpoint your app calls to stamp and compress invoices

Self-host: One Docker command, or a desktop app. Runs entirely on your machine.

self-hostadvanced

Coolify

An open-source, self-hostable Heroku / Vercel / Netlify alternative: deploy apps, databases, and 280+ one-click services onto your own server over SSH. Apache-2.0, no vendor lock-in.

How to use it with Claude: When you outgrow free hosting tiers (or want to stop paying per-seat), Coolify runs everything on a cheap box you control. Have Claude Code prep the app; Coolify deploys it.

  • Host a dozen side projects on one cheap VPS instead of a dozen paid plans
  • Self-host your own Supabase, database, and app together, fully owned
  • A privacy-first deploy where every config stays on hardware you control

Self-host: Your own VPS or bare metal, even a Raspberry Pi or a Mac Mini.

agents & buildersadvanced

OpenHands

Open-source AI software-engineering agents (formerly OpenDevin) that read issues, write code, run commands, and browse (via a Python SDK, a CLI, or a local web GUI). MIT core.

How to use it with Claude: A more autonomous, do-the-whole-task cousin to Claude Code, and it runs on Claude. Point it at a repo and a ticket and let it work; reach for Claude Code when you want a tighter, hands-on loop.

  • Hand it a bug report and let it open a fix PR end-to-end
  • Trigger dev tasks straight from Slack, Jira, or Linear
  • An always-on agent that chips away at your backlog overnight

Self-host: Local machine, your own server, or a cloud box.

data + spreadsheetsmedium

Maxun

Open-source, no-code web data extraction: point and click (or describe in plain English) to turn any website into a structured API, spreadsheet, or scheduled feed. AGPL-3.0, self-hostable.

How to use it with Claude: Build a 'robot' for a site that has no API, then let Claude analyze or act on the structured output. For simple jobs, Claude can write a small Playwright script instead. Maxun shines when you want it no-code and scheduled.

  • Scrape competitor pricing into a Google Sheet every morning
  • Turn a directory site into a lead list automatically
  • Monitor job / real-estate / news listings and get a daily structured feed

Self-host: Docker or local install. Runs on your own box.

agents & buildersadvanced

ECC

A 'harness-native operator system for agentic work' by Affaan Mustafa: a Claude Code plugin packing 60+ specialist subagents, hundreds of skills, hooks, and rules. MIT. (We've trialed it on our own builds.)

How to use it with Claude: Supercharge Claude Code itself: one plugin install drops in dozens of expert subagents (security review, planning, build-fixing) and skills. The power-user upgrade once you've done our Claude Code Mastery module.

  • Add a security-reviewer + database-reviewer subagent to every code change
  • A planning trio that designs the work before it builds
  • Hooks that auto-enforce your standards on every edit

Self-host: Installs into your own Claude Code (~/.claude, or per-project).
