What is MCP Prompt Server?

MCP Prompt Server is an MCP-based server that provides preset prompt templates as tools (not MCP prompts) for tasks such as code review, API documentation generation, and code refactoring. It is designed for use with editors like Cline, Cursor, and Windsurf to help them execute tasks more efficiently.

How to use MCP Prompt Server?

Install dependencies with npm install in the prompt-server directory and start the server with npm start.

FAQ from MCP Prompt Server

How do I add a new prompt template?

Create a new YAML or JSON file in the src/prompts directory following the required schema (name, description, optional arguments, and messages with role, content type, and text). The server loads new templates automatically on restart or when the reload_prompts tool is called.

How do I integrate MCP Prompt Server with Cursor?

Edit Cursor’s MCP configuration file (typically at ~/.cursor/) to add a server entry with the command ["node", "/path/to/prompt-server/src/index.js"], using "transport": "stdio". Restart the editor to see the prompt tools.

How do I integrate MCP Prompt Server with Windsurf?

In Windsurf, navigate to Settings > Advanced Settings (or edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json) and add a server with "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/prompt-server/src/index.js"], and "transport": "stdio". Refresh the server list to make the tools available.

What transport does MCP Prompt Server use?

The server uses stdio transport, as shown in the configuration examples for both Cursor and Windsurf.

What runtime dependencies are required?

Node.js and npm are required to install and run the server. No external databases or services are mentioned.
