Setup Profile

Setup mcp-me Profile

Guide the user through creating and populating their personal profile.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• npm install -g mcp-me or use npx mcp-me

Step 1 — Initialize

mcp-me init

Creates ~/.mcp-me/ with YAML templates and .mcp-me.yaml config.

Step 2 — Configure sources

Edit ~/.mcp-me/.mcp-me.yaml and uncomment generators/plugins:

generators:
  github: your-username
  devto: your-username

plugins:
  github:
    enabled: true
    username: your-username

Step 3 — Generate profile data

mcp-me generate

Pulls data from public APIs listed in .mcp-me.yaml. No API keys needed for most sources.

CLI flags also work as overrides: mcp-me generate --github octocat --devto myuser

Step 4 — Validate

mcp-me validate

Checks all YAML files against the Zod schema.

Step 5 — Start MCP server

mcp-me serve

Defaults to ~/.mcp-me. Override with MCP_ME_PROFILE_DIR or pass a path: mcp-me serve ~/my-profile.

Step 6 — Connect to AI assistant

Add to .cursor/mcp.json or use the one-click install badge from the README:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "me": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-me", "serve"]
    }
  }
}
