createPrompt
Create a new Teleprompter prompt. Wrap template variables in double curly braces. For example, "Hello, {{name}}!"
LABSCO SUMMARY
The tag convention is the whole idea: a prompt you wrote once becomes something you can call by name in the middle of a conversation.
createPrompt and usePrompt are the pair that carries the product — a prompt is stored under an id, and typing that id as a tag pulls it back with its {{variable}} placeholders intact for the assistant to fill. searchPrompts exists because tags are worth having when you can find them again, and it returns content next to the IDs so a fuzzy match is enough to recognise the right one. Where the library lives is your choice through PROMPT_STORAGE_PATH.
What it is
A prompt library the assistant reads from, storing named prompts with double-curly-brace template variables and fetching one by id when the user's message carries its tag.
What you get
- createPrompt stores contents under an id, with template variables wrapped in double curly braces, as in "Hello, {{name}}!".
- usePrompt fetches the prompt whose id matches a tag in the user's message — ">> new-journal-entry" fetches the prompt with the ID "new-journal-entry" — and the assistant then follows its instructions.
- searchPrompts runs a fuzzy text search across the library and returns matching prompt IDs together with their content, bounded by limit, so a prompt can be found without knowing its exact tag.
- listPrompts returns every prompt ID and its content.
Requirements
A directory to store prompts in, given as PROMPT_STORAGE_PATH.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y mcp-teleprompter
USE CASES
01
Reusing a prompt you got right once instead of rewriting it
Save the working version under a short id with placeholders where the specifics go, then call it by tag whenever the same job comes round.
02
Finding the prompt you vaguely remember writing
Search the library by whatever wording you recall, read the matching content back, and run the one that turns out to be right.
4 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
listPrompts
List all available Teleprompter prompts. Returns a list of all prompt IDs and their content.
searchPrompts
Fuzzy search the available Teleprompter prompts by text. Returns a list of matching prompt IDs and their content, so the user can discover prompts even if they do not know the exact tag or ID.
usePrompt
If the user has sent a message containing a prompt tag, use the this tool to fetch the prompt, and follow its instructions. For example, if the user sends ">> new-journal-entry", this tool will fetch the prompt with the ID "new-journal-entry", so you can use it to generate a new journal entry. Template variables may be included in the template, and are marked with double curly braces. For example, "Hello, {{name}}!". Based on your current session with the end user, fill in values for these variables. If a value cannot be determined, ask the user for it, then follow the instructions in the prompt.
