MCP me: MCP server, setup and security
MCP me is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent access local YAML identity profiles generated from public service APIs. Its repository has 21 stars and its last commit is from August 11, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What MCP me does
According to its repository: “Digital identity for AI tools: your bio, career, skills and projects in local YAML profiles, auto-generated from public APIs such as GitHub, Medium and Strava.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. MCP me is listed under Memory and knowledge, a category of 250 servers in the directory, where it ranks #144 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: ai-assistant, claude, cli, cursor, generator, personal-profile.
Installing and connecting MCP me
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx)
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to MCP me. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on March 17, 2026, the paladini/mcp-me repository has 21 stars and 5 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 39% of the servers in the directory. Last change 3 months ago. Version published in the registry: 0.6.0 (July 10, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
