Cursor는 Claude Desktop과 동일한 mcpServers 스키마 사용. 프로젝트 설정이 전역보다 우선.

Claude Desktop과 같은 형식. Windsurf 재시작 후 적용.

사용 사례

실전 활용법: thesis-figure-skill

How to generate a figure for a specific paragraph of your paper

👤 Grad students and researchers writing papers or theses ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

언제 쓸까: You wrote the paragraph, but the reviewer would really appreciate a figure here.

사전 조건

LaTeX toolchain (TeX Live or MiKTeX) with tikz, pgfplots — brew install --cask mactex / apt install texlive-full
Skill cloned — git clone https://github.com/0xE1337/thesis-figure-skill ~/.claude/skills/thesis-figure-skill

흐름

Paste the paragraph

Paragraph: <text about system architecture>. Generate a TikZ figure that illustrates the architecture.✓ 복사됨

→ Diagram type picked + TikZ code
Compile and preview

Save the code to fig.tex and compile — show me the PDF path.✓ 복사됨

→ PDF produced
Iterate

Shrink the node widths and make the arrows straight, not curved.✓ 복사됨

→ Revised TikZ, compiles cleanly

결과: A usable publication-quality figure in under 10 minutes.

함정

Overly decorated figures that scream 'AI made this' — Ask for minimal, academic-conservative style
Figure size fights the paper's column width — Specify target width (e.g., 0.9\linewidth) up front

함께 쓰기: filesystem

Turn a CSV into a pgfplots chart for your paper

👤 Researchers with experimental results ⏱ ~25 min intermediate

언제 쓸까: You have results in CSV and want paper-quality plots, not matplotlib screenshots.

흐름

Feed the CSV

Here's results.csv. Make a pgfplots line chart comparing methods A/B/C on x=batch_size, y=accuracy.✓ 복사됨

→ pgfplots code + legend
Tweak

Add error bars (std dev from results_std.csv) and log-scale the x-axis.✓ 복사됨

→ Updated code with error bars

결과: A publication-grade plot that scales cleanly.

함정

Too many colors / markers — Ask for a grayscale- and colorblind-safe palette

함께 쓰기: csv-data-summarizer-claude-skill

조합

다른 MCP와 조합해 10배 효율

thesis-figure-skill + csv-data-summarizer-claude-skill

Profile the CSV first, then generate plots that reflect its actual shape

Summarize results.csv, then produce pgfplots charts that visualize the findings.✓ 복사됨

thesis-figure-skill + filesystem

Save figures alongside your paper source

Place every generated figure in paper/figures/.✓ 복사됨

도구

이 MCP가 노출하는 것

도구	입력	언제 호출
diagram-type-inference	paragraph / concept	Start
tikz-authoring	figure spec	Architectural / schematic diagrams
pgfplots-authoring	CSV + axes spec	Data-driven plots

비용 및 제한

운영 비용

API 쿼터: none
호출당 토큰: ~2–8k per figure
금액: free
팁: Get one figure right first (style/size), then clone the pattern for siblings

보안

권한, 시크릿, 파급범위

자격 증명 저장: none

데이터 외부 송신: none — everything is local TeX

문제 해결

자주 발생하는 오류와 해결

pdflatex errors on pgfplots

Update pgfplots and ensure \usepackage{pgfplots}\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} or similar.

확인: kpsewhich pgfplots.sty

TikZ nodes overlap

Ask for named positioning using node distance and relative placements

Figure too big for column

Set scale= or wrap in resizebox{\linewidth}{!}{...}
