Chen's AI Copy MCP Server

Local setup required. This server has to be cloned and prepared on your machine before you register it in Claude Code.
1

Set the server up locally

Run this once to clone and prepare the server before adding it to Claude Code.

Run in terminal
git clone https://github.com/shenchensucc/chens-ai-copy.git
cd chens-ai-copy
npm install
npm run build
2

Register it in Claude Code

After the local setup is done, run this command to point Claude Code at the built server.

Run in terminal
claude mcp add chens-ai-copy -- node "<FULL_PATH_TO_CHENS_AI_COPY>/dist/index.js"

Replace <FULL_PATH_TO_CHENS_AI_COPY>/dist/index.js with the actual folder you prepared in step 1.

README.md

A personal digital twin MCP server for managing professional context.

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

  1. Clone: git clone https://github.com/shenchensucc/chens-ai-copy.git D:\2026\2026-03 Chens-ai-copy
  2. Run: cd D:\2026\2026-03 Chens-ai-copy && npm install && npm run build
  3. 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.
