Zotero + MCP + Claude Desktop + Local LLM & ML Server
One of my summer coding projects. It helps me spend more time on research and less time on research ops.

Weekend project: menu bar app making the local servers I've built a little more visible. The ML & LLM server is still be best tool I've added locally.

Excited about teaching Human-Centered Design at #Georgetown University in the Learning, Design, and Technology program! I feel lucky to work with students, faculty, and staff dedicated to multidisciplinary learning and solving.

Visualizing Code — my new code review best friend. Claude Code creates software architecture Mermaid diagrams --> Mermaid Diagrams tool in Miro creates an image of your diagrams on a board. You get quick views of your codebase.

I'm preparing a few academic tools for release: 1) Zotero MCP server; 2) Academic Research MCP server; 3) ML/AI Inference server for local compute.
The inference server is an optional performance booster for the MCP servers.
Next: course development and admin tools.

Claude Code: Good — created 47 active slash commands, 23 specialized agents, and 7 reusable skills. Better — added a token optimizer MCP that uses my local inference server to use semantic relationships across a codebase and reduce token use by 70% for some search, debugging, refactoring tasks.

Your professional identity shouldn't be built around tasks—it should be built around problems you solve. People who define themselves by what they DO (tasks) struggle when AI automates. Those who define themselves by what they ACHIEVE (outcomes) adapt.

Professionals who feel the most threatened by AI are the least willing to play with it. This reaction then accelerates their marginalization. We can't address AI adoption without first addressing identity concerns. Technical training isn't enough.

Fun with MCP servers and Claude Desktop: playing with reducing context window tokens used by tool and workflow preferences by adding their descriptions as MCP tools. This uses prompt caching and cuts token use by up to 90%.

My MCP tools now hit local endpoints for embeddings and NLP tasks instead of burning Claude's context window. Save the tokens for actual reasoning. Save the API costs for work that matters. Let the GPU earn its keep. #ml #ai #workflows #business

Dear K-12 Teacher or Instructional Designers,

Have any of you tried the Learning Commons Knowledge Graph? I'd love to hear about your experiences with the tool.

You can try it out in Claude using its connector. learningcommons.org/for-develope...

Built an machine learning inference server for one reason: Claude Desktop was eating my context window alive. Every semantic search, every classification task—that's tokens (and $$$) I don't get back. #ml #ai #design

Best 3 days in the computer science program I started in October — the day that: 1) list comprehensions made sense; 2) my first MCP server worked; 3) I managed to make Claude Code work in an dev container. #MCP #python #workflowautomation
