# Coding Prompt Engineer MCP Server
This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides a tool to rewrite coding prompts for optimal results with Cursor AI and other AI IDEs, using Claude by Anthropic.
## Installation
```bash
npm install
```
### Install via Smithery
You can install this MCP server directly through Smithery by visiting:
https://smithery.ai/server/@hireshBrem/prompt-engineer-mcp-server
## Usage
### Setting Environment Variables
The server requires an Anthropic API key to use Claude for formatting. Set it as an environment variable:
```bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key
```
If no API key is provided, the server will throw an error indicating the missing API key.
### Running the Server
```bash
npm start
```
Or with MCP Inspector:
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npm start
```
## Tool: rewrite_coding_prompt
This tool takes a raw prompt and rewrites it for optimal results with Cursor AI and other AI IDEs.
### Parameters
- `prompt` (required): The raw user's prompt that needs rewriting
- `language` (required): The programming language of the code
### Example Usage
```json
{
"name": "rewrite_coding_prompt",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "Create a function to convert temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit",
"language": "typescript"
}
}
```
## How It Works
The server uses Claude 3 Sonnet by Anthropic to intelligently rewrite your prompts for better results. It enhances your prompt by:
1. Adding clear structure and context
2. Specifying requirements and expectations
3. Including language-specific considerations
4. Optimizing for AI IDE understanding
## Features
- **Intelligent Prompt Engineering**: Uses Claude 3 Sonnet to rewrite prompts for optimal results
- **Language-Aware**: Customizes prompts based on target programming language
- **Easy Integration**: Works seamlessly with Cursor and other AI IDEs
- **Low Temperature Setting**: Uses 0.2 temperature for consistent, structured output
## Configuration
### Usage with Claude Desktop
Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
### NPX
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-prompt-engineer": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"cursor-prompt-engineer"
]
}
}
}
```
### Local Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cursor-prompt-engineer.git
cd cursor-prompt-engineer
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run the server
node index.js
```
## Example
Input:
```
Create a function that sorts an array of objects by a specific property
```
With arguments:
```json
{
"prompt": "Create a function that sorts an array of objects by a specific property",
"language": "typescript"
}
```
The tool will rewrite the prompt to be more structured and detailed for optimal results with your AI IDE.
