Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ngff-zarr

PyPI - Version PyPI - Python Version Python CI Testing Typescript CI Testing MCP CI Testing DOI Documentation Status


A multi-language implementation of the Open Microscopy Environment (OME) Next Generation File Format (NGFF) Zarr specification.

Repository Structure

This repository contains multiple packages implementing NGFF-Zarr support:

  • py/ - Python package (ngff-zarr) - A lean and kind NGFF-Zarr implementation
  • mcp/ - Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (ngff-zarr-mcp) for AI integration
  • TypeScript package - Coming soon

Python Package (py/)

The main Python package provides:

Features

  • Minimal dependencies
  • Work with arbitrary Zarr store types
  • Lazy, parallel, and web ready -- no local filesystem required
  • Process extremely large datasets
  • Conversion of most bioimaging file formats
  • Multiple downscaling methods
  • Supports Python>=3.9
  • Reads OME-Zarr v0.1 to v0.5 into simple Python data classes with Dask arrays
  • Optional OME-Zarr data model validation during reading
  • Writes OME-Zarr v0.4 to v0.5
  • Sharded Zarr stores
  • Optional writing via zarr-python 2, zarr-python 3, tensorstore or zarrita (TypeScript)
  • Anatomical orientation metadata (RFC-4)
  • OME-Zarr Zip (.ozx) file support for single-file OME-Zarr datasets (RFC-9)
  • High Content Screening (HCS) support for plate and well data
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agent integration

📖 Documentation

More information about command line usage, the Python API, library features, and how to contribute can be found in our documentation.

MCP Server (mcp/)

The Model Context Protocol server enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with NGFF-Zarr files. See the MCP documentation for setup and usage instructions.
