add_prompt
Add a new prompt to the collection
LABSCO SUMMARY
A prompt library the model can edit, not only read from
add_prompt and delete_prompt make the collection writable from inside the conversation, so a prompt refined during a session can be saved without switching to an editor. create_structured_prompt is the difference between a folder of text files and a library — it records author, category, difficulty and tags, which is what makes the listing worth reading months later. Lookup is by name, so a session that cannot recall the name starts with list_prompts.
What it is
A file-backed prompt library with 5 tools: prompts are stored under a filename you choose and retrieved, listed or removed by name.
What you get
- A stored prompt collection the assistant writes into directly, each entry held under its own filename
- Retrieval of a single prompt by name, and a listing of everything currently in the collection
- A guided create path that captures author, category, description, difficulty, tags and title alongside the prompt body
- Removal of a prompt by name once it stops earning its place
Requirements
No account and no key; the collection lives under filenames on whatever machine runs the server.
Setup effort
One command — npm install -g prompts-mcp-server
USE CASES
01
Reusing a prompt you tuned weeks ago
The wording that finally worked is in the collection instead of buried in a scrollback you cannot search. The names come first, then the body.
02
Capturing a prompt mid-conversation before it is lost
A prompt that just worked can be written into the collection without leaving the session. The structured variant adds the metadata that makes it findable later.
03
Clearing out prompts that no longer match the model you use
Prompts written for an older model quietly rot in the collection. Listing shows what is there, and removal is by name.
5 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
