What is setup-profile?

A setup guide for creating a personal mcp-me profile from public online sources such as GitHub and DEV.to. It walks through installing mcp-me, choosing sources, generating profile files, checking them, and starting the server.

Use it to initialize a profile, import public information, refresh that information, validate profile files, and start the mcp-me server.

It removes the need to create and update the profile files by hand. It also checks that the generated YAML data has the expected structure before an AI assistant uses it.

setup-profile — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by paladini

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add paladini/mcp-me --skill setup-profile

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/paladini/mcp-me

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00035	$0.00467
Opus 5	$0.00017	$0.00234
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00093
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00047

Security

Grade A, and why

setup-profile scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

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"]
    }
  }
}

Profile location

Method	Path
Default	`~/.mcp-me`
Env var	`MCP_ME_PROFILE_DIR=/path/to/profile`
CLI arg	`mcp-me serve /path/to/profile`

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
