reload_promptsLABSCO SUMMARY
A prompt library your editor can actually reach.
The whole idea is one decision: publish prompts as tools, because that is the list a coding assistant reads. Adding your own is a text file in a folder, which makes it a reasonable place to keep the three or four prompts a team keeps pasting by hand.
What it is
A small server that reads prompt templates from a directory and exposes each one as a tool rather than as an MCP prompt - which is what makes them usable in editors like Cursor and Windsurf, where the tools list is the surface that gets used.
What you get
- Every YAML or JSON template in the prompts directory offered as a callable tool
- Placeholder substitution, so a template takes named arguments instead of being one fixed block of text
- Templates shipped for code review, API documentation, refactoring, test-case generation and project architecture
- Reloading the whole prompt set without restarting, and listing the names currently available
Requirements
Node and npm. Clone, run npm install, then npm start; the server speaks over stdin and stdout, so the client launches it with node and the path to src/index.js. Adding a template is dropping a YAML file into src/prompts. The author has moved on to a hosted service and states this repository will not get further feature work.
Setup effort
Build from source — git clone https://github.com/gdli6177/mcp-prompt-server.git
USE CASES
01
Making a team's review prompt one click away
Put the prompt in the templates folder with named arguments for language and code, and it shows up as a tool everyone in the team can call.
02
Editing a template mid-session
Change the YAML and reload the prompt set in place, rather than restarting the editor to pick up the change.
4 tools
Listed in project docs. Your client may show a different list.
