Section 02
For network administrators, MikroTik routers are a powerful and cost-effective choice for network devices. However, managing these devices usually requires proficiency in RouterOS's command-line interface or the WinBox graphical tool. With the popularity of AI assistants in the DevOps field, a natural question arises: Can AI directly understand and operate network devices?
Traditional network management APIs are often designed for machine-to-machine communication and lack natural language-friendly interfaces. When developers want AI assistants like Claude or Cursor to help diagnose network issues or perform configuration changes, they face significant integration barriers. This is exactly the problem that the Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to solve—establishing a standardized communication protocol between AI and external tools.
Section 03
MikroMCP is a production-grade MCP server implementation that bridges AI assistants and MikroTik RouterOS. Through this project, developers can enable MCP-supported AI clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor to directly query and control MikroTik routers, converting natural language into precise network configuration operations.
The project's core design philosophy is to turn RouterOS into a first-class citizen in AI-native and programmable DevOps workflows. This means network management is no longer limited to traditional CLI or GUI, but can be seamlessly integrated into modern AI-assisted workflows.
Section 04
MikroMCP's architecture reflects the engineering maturity expected of production-grade software. Its request processing pipeline includes several key components:
Section 05
Each request carries a unique Correlation ID, which facilitates tracking the complete request lifecycle in distributed logs—this is crucial for troubleshooting and auditing.
Section 06
A circuit breaker mechanism is implemented for each router instance. When a router fails consecutively up to a threshold, the circuit breaker is automatically triggered to block further requests and avoid cascading failures. After a cooling period, the system will automatically attempt to recover.
Section 07
For read operations, MikroMCP implements an exponential backoff retry strategy with jitter, effectively handling transient network failures and improving the overall availability of the system.
Section 08
All write operations are carefully designed to ensure idempotency. If an attempt is made to create an already existing resource, the system returns success instead of an error, allowing AI assistants to safely re-execute configuration commands.

Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
Folkering OS is the world's first AI-native bare-metal operating system, entirely written in Rust no_std without relying on Linux, POSIX, or libc. It can generate commands from scratch, compile them into WASM, and run them in 10 seconds, achieving true self-evolution.
This project explores how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect logical vulnerabilities in Ethereum smart contracts, especially business logic flaws that are difficult for traditional static analysis tools to capture, such as economic manipulation and execution order errors.
This article introduces an open-source project for building modern large language models from scratch. The project evolves from a GPT-2-style basic architecture to a Llama 2/3-style production-level implementation, covering complete tutorial implementations of key technologies such as RMSNorm, RoPE, SwiGLU, GQA, and MoE.
