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 🙏

Akil MCP - New York City Edition

NYC public records for AI agents.

Akil MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and custom agents to a hosted civic data layer built around real workflows, reusable identifiers, and source-backed public records.

The product is the hosted MCP server. This repository is the public connection home for developers and evaluators.

Connect

There is nothing to install for normal use.

MCP endpoint: https://mcp.askakil.ai/mcp

| Client | How to connect | |--------|----------------| | Claude | Add Akil as a custom connector, paste the MCP URL, and sign in when prompted. | | ChatGPT | Use connectors where available, add the MCP URL, and complete the Akil authorization flow. | | Codex | Register Akil as a streamable HTTP MCP server. Developer access can send an API key as a bearer token. | | Custom agents | Use OAuth for user-authorized sessions or API keys for backend jobs and partner workflows. |

Full setup and docs:

What agents can do

Akil is organized around civic workflows rather than a single dataset.

  • Evaluate a business location: permits, licenses, inspections, location context
  • Research a property or building: ownership, deeds, permits, violations, sales, tax records
  • Follow public money: awards, payments, contracts, agency budgets
  • Understand influence: lobbying, campaign finance, legislation, votes, hearings
  • Check an organization: nonprofit registries, audits, funding history, compliance records
  • Ask about a place: address, BBL, district, neighborhood, radius, polygon, or corridor

Why this exists

A general model can reason. Akil gives it records to reason from.

The useful part is not the number of tools. It is that fragmented public records come back with stable identifiers, source context, and next steps an assistant can actually follow.

Anchor-first design

Akil responses are designed to keep agents oriented around durable civic identifiers:

  • BBL for tax lots, buildings, ownership, permits, sales, tax records, and violations
  • EIN for nonprofits, audits, awards, filings, and organization checks
  • Agency for budgets, contracts, payments, rules, hearings, and payroll context
  • District or other boundaries for place-based questions
  • License and application identifiers for regulated businesses
  • Time window for bounded, usable queries

These anchors let an assistant move from one public record system to another without losing the subject of the question.

Example prompts

I am looking at a storefront lease. What public records should I check before signing?
Who owns this building, and are there recent permits or violations tied to the tax lot?
Show public funding, contracts, and payments tied to this organization.
What changed in this council district over the last year?
Is this restaurant, liquor, tobacco, cannabis, or sidewalk-cafe location worth checking more closely?
