ask_about_meLABSCO SUMMARY
Stop re-explaining your stack and your history in every new chat.
The distinction worth learning is generators versus plugins: generators write static YAML once, plugins answer live while the server runs. A cover letter comes out of the first; what you are listening to right now comes out of the second.
What it is
A local server over a folder of YAML files describing you — identity, career, skills, interests, personality, goals, projects and an FAQ. The server reads from disk; nothing is sent to a cloud.
What you get
- Eight profile resources: me://identity, me://career, me://skills, me://interests, me://personality, me://goals, me://projects and me://faq
- A free-form question about you, answered from the profile — ask_about_me
- Keyword search across all profile data — search_profile
- Four prompts: introduce_me, summarize_career, technical_profile and collaboration_fit
- 329 registered generators that populate the YAML from public APIs — GitHub, GitLab, DEV.to, Mastodon, Bluesky, ORCID, npm, PyPI, Last.fm, Steam and more — with no key needed for most
- 13 live plugins that answer at query time rather than from the last generate run, including Spotify now playing, GitHub activity and Last.fm scrobbles
- Templates for AGENTS.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md that tell an agent to consult the profile on its own
Requirements
Node.js 20 or later. Install mcp-me from npm (version 0.6.0) and run mcp-me serve; the profile defaults to ~/.mcp-me and MCP_ME_PROFILE_DIR overrides it. Run mcp-me init once to create the YAML templates. Most generators need no key; Spotify requires OAuth, and GitHub, WakaTime, DEV.to and YouTube take an optional one.
Setup effort
One command — npm install -g mcp-me
USE CASES
01
Getting a cover letter that knows your actual history
The assistant reads your career, skills and projects itself instead of asking you to paste them, then writes against the real record.
02
Filling the profile without typing it out
Point the generate command at your public accounts and it populates the YAML from their APIs — repos, articles, packages, publications — most of them without a key.
03
Introducing yourself in a form you keep reusing
Four prompts cover the recurring asks: a two-paragraph introduction, a career summary, a technical profile and a fit assessment for a project.
04
Making agents consult the profile unprompted
Drop the bundled AGENTS.md or copilot-instructions.md into a project and the agent loads your context before answering, rather than waiting to be told.
