# Smart Prompts MCP Server - Implementation Summary
## What We Built
We've created an enhanced MCP server that transforms prompt management from local file storage to a cloud-based, intelligent system powered by GitHub.
## Key Enhancements
### 1. GitHub Integration
- **Module**: `src/github.ts`
- **Purpose**: Fetches prompts directly from GitHub repositories
- **Features**:
- Public and private repo support
- YAML frontmatter parsing
- Automatic synchronization
- No local storage required
### 2. Enhanced Cache System
- **Module**: `src/enhancedCache.ts`
- **Purpose**: Intelligent caching with indexing
- **Features**:
- Category and tag indexing
- Usage statistics tracking
- Automatic refresh from GitHub
- Search optimization
### 3. MCP Resources
- **Module**: `src/resources.ts`
- **Purpose**: Expose prompt data through MCP protocol
- **Resources**:
- `prompts://list` - All prompts
- `prompts://categories` - Categories list
- `prompts://tags` - Tags list
- `prompts://stats` - Usage statistics
- `prompts://recent` - Recent prompts
- `prompts://category/{name}` - By category
- `prompts://search?q={query}` - Search
### 4. MCP Prompts
- **Module**: `src/mcpPrompts.ts`
- **Purpose**: Interactive prompt templates
- **Features**:
- Dynamic argument support
- Handlebars templating
- Built-in prompts (compose, search, suggest)
- Template rendering
### 5. Configuration System
- **Module**: `src/config.ts`
- **Purpose**: Flexible configuration
- **Features**:
- Environment variable support
- Feature flags
- Cache configuration
- GitHub settings
### 6. Enhanced Tools
- **Added to**: `src/index.ts`
- **New Tools**:
- `search_prompts` - Keyword search
- `compose_prompts` - Combine prompts
- `get_prompt_stats` - Usage statistics

## Key Improvements
1. **No Local Storage Required**: Prompts are fetched from GitHub
2. **Rich Discovery**: Search, categories, tags, and usage stats
3. **Dynamic Templates**: Handlebars support with arguments
4. **MCP Protocol Compliance**: Full resources and prompts support
5. **Backward Compatible**: Original file-based tools still work
6. **Extensible**: Easy to add new features
## Usage Flow
1. **Configuration**: Set GitHub repo in environment variables
2. **Initialization**: Server fetches prompts from GitHub
3. **Caching**: Prompts cached with intelligent indexing
4. **Discovery**: Users can search, browse by category/tag
5. **Usage**: Dynamic templates with argument support
6. **Tracking**: Usage statistics for popular prompts
## Future Enhancements
1. **Semantic Search**: Vector embeddings for similarity search
2. **Web UI**: Browser-based prompt management
3. **Two-way Sync**: Push changes back to GitHub
4. **Analytics Dashboard**: Visualize usage patterns
5. **Multi-repo Support**: Aggregate prompts from multiple sources
## Technical Decisions
- **TypeScript**: Full type safety maintained
- **Modular Design**: Clean separation of concerns
- **GitHub API**: Using Octokit for reliability
- **Handlebars**: Flexible templating engine
- **Environment Config**: Easy deployment configuration
This enhanced server maintains backward compatibility while adding powerful new features for prompt discovery, composition, and management.
