Chen's AI Copy
Personal digital twin MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Provides Chen's experience, skills, resume preferences, learnings, and interested companies to AI assistants across projects.
Repo: github.com/shenchensucc/chens-ai-copy
What It Does
- get_context — Retrieve experience, skills, preferences, learnings, or interested companies
- add_learning — Record new learnings, patterns, or insights from project work
- update_preference — Update resume format, communication style, or other preferences
- add_interested_company — Add companies to track for job applications
Quick Start
Install from GitHub (new machine)
git clone https://github.com/shenchensucc/chens-ai-copy.git
cd chens-ai-copy
npm install
npm run build
Add to Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (Windows: C:\Users\<you>\.cursor\mcp.json or Cursor Settings > MCP):
{
"mcpServers": {
"chens-ai-copy": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/path/to/chens-ai-copy/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Use the full path to your cloned chens-ai-copy folder.
Sync on every Cursor start
The MCP uses sync-and-run.ps1 which runs git pull before starting, so you always get the latest when opening Cursor. Ensure the MCP config points to the script:
{
"chens-ai-copy": {
"command": "powershell",
"args": ["-NoProfile", "-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass", "-File", "D:/2026/2026-03 Chens-ai-copy/sync-and-run.ps1"]
}
}
Setup on another machine
- Clone:
git clone https://github.com/shenchensucc/chens-ai-copy.git D:\2026\2026-03 Chens-ai-copy - Run:
cd D:\2026\2026-03 Chens-ai-copy && npm install && npm run build - Add the MCP config above to
~/.cursor/mcp.json(adjust path if different)

Updating From Other Projects
When working in any project, ask the AI to:
- "Add this to my digital twin: [learning]"
- "Remember that I prefer [preference]"
- "Update my context with what we learned from this project"
The AI will call add_learning or update_preference to keep your context current.
