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 🙏

MCP servers for ACCESS-CI APIs

Readme

ACCESS-CI MCP Servers

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for ACCESS-CI APIs, enabling AI assistants to interact with cyberinfrastructure resources.

Overview

This repository contains MCP servers that provide programmatic access to:

  • Compute Resources - Hardware specifications and resource information
  • System Status - Outages, maintenance, and announcements
  • Software Discovery - Available software packages across resources
  • Events - Workshops, webinars, training events, and office hours
  • XDMoD Metrics - Usage analytics, computational resource utilization, and NSF funding integration
  • Allocations - Active research projects and resource allocation discovery
  • Affinity Groups - Community groups, events, and knowledge base

Quick Start

For End Users

Install individual MCP servers:

# Install specific servers
npm install -g @access-mcp/events
npm install -g @access-mcp/compute-resources
npm install -g @access-mcp/system-status
npm install -g @access-mcp/software-discovery
npm install -g @access-mcp/xdmod-metrics
npm install -g @access-mcp/allocations
npm install -g @access-mcp/affinity-groups

# Or install all at once
npm install -g @access-mcp/events @access-mcp/compute-resources @access-mcp/system-status @access-mcp/software-discovery @access-mcp/xdmod-metrics @access-mcp/allocations @access-mcp/affinity-groups

For Developers

# Clone and install
git clone <repository-url>
cd access_mcp
npm install

# Build all packages
npm run build

# Run tests
npm test

# Create release bundle
npm run release

Development

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • npm

Key Commands

  • npm run build - Build all TypeScript packages
  • npm run dev - Watch mode for development
  • npm test - Run test suite
  • npm run bundle - Create standalone executables
  • npm run release - Create release package

Testing MCP Servers

Use the MCP Inspector for interactive testing:

# Test any server
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector packages/events/dist/index.js
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector packages/xdmod-metrics/dist/index.js
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector packages/allocations/dist/index.js
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector packages/affinity-groups/dist/index.js

Adding New Servers

  1. Create new package in packages/
  2. Extend BaseAccessServer from @access-mcp/shared
  3. Implement required methods (see existing servers for examples)
  4. Add to tsconfig.json references
  5. Update documentation

Documentation

Full documentation is available at https://access-mcp.netlify.app and includes:

  • Installation guides for end users and developers
  • API reference for each server
  • Claude Desktop configuration examples
  • Troubleshooting and FAQs

To work on documentation:

cd docs
npm run dev    # Start development server
npm run build  # Build for production

Release Process

Releases include both npm packages and standalone executables:

# Create release bundle
npm run release

# Output:
# - release/access-mcp-servers-vX.X.X.zip (standalone executables)
# - Individual packages ready for npm publish
