Promptopia MCP

A powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing, organizing, and reusing prompt templates with variable substitution and multi-message conversation structures.

Introduction

Promptopia MCP is a comprehensive MCP server that enables AI applications to efficiently manage prompt templates through the Model Context Protocol. The server provides persistent storage for both single-content prompts and sophisticated multi-message conversation templates, complete with automatic variable detection, substitution capabilities, and seamless integration with MCP-compatible AI clients.

Built with TypeScript and designed for scalability, Promptopia MCP transforms how you work with AI prompts by providing a centralized, reusable prompt management system that integrates directly into your AI workflow through the standardized MCP protocol.

Why Use This Server?

  • Centralized Prompt Management: Store, organize, and version all your prompt templates in one secure location with filesystem persistence, eliminating scattered prompt files and ensuring consistency across projects.
  • Advanced Multi-Message Support: Create sophisticated conversation templates with role-based message structures (user/assistant) that support both text and image content, enabling complex AI interaction patterns.
  • Intelligent Variable Substitution: Automatically detect variables using {{variable}} syntax and apply dynamic values at runtime, making your prompts flexible and reusable across different contexts and use cases.
  • Seamless MCP Integration: Native MCP protocol support means your prompts automatically become available as first-class resources in Claude Desktop, IDEs, and other MCP-compatible applications without additional configuration.
  • Future-Proof Architecture: Built with extensibility in mind, supporting prompt chains, conditional logic, versioning, and advanced workflow patterns for evolving AI interaction needs.

Features

Core Prompt Management

  • Create and Store Prompts: Add both single-content and multi-message prompts with automatic variable detection
  • Retrieve and List: Access individual prompts by ID or browse all available templates with metadata
  • Update and Delete: Modify existing prompts or remove outdated templates with full CRUD operations
  • Variable Application: Replace template variables with actual values for immediate use

Multi-Message Conversation Support

  • Role-Based Messages: Structure conversations with explicit user and assistant message roles
  • Mixed Content Types: Support for text and image content within the same conversation template
  • Cross-Message Variables: Extract and apply variables across multiple messages in a conversation
  • Format Conversion: Seamlessly convert between single-content and multi-message formats as needed

MCP Protocol Integration

  • Native MCP Prompts: Expose stored prompts as MCP prompts for direct use in compatible applications
  • Tool-Based Access: Complete set of MCP tools for prompt management operations
  • Standardized Communication: Full compliance with MCP protocol specifications for reliable integration
  • Real-Time Variable Resolution: Apply variables through the MCP protocol for dynamic prompt execution

Advanced Capabilities

  • Automatic Variable Detection: Parse {{variable}} patterns from prompt content with intelligent extraction
  • Backward Compatibility: Maintain support for existing single-content prompts while adding new features
  • File System Persistence: Reliable JSON-based storage with organized directory structure
  • Error Handling: Comprehensive error management with informative MCP-compliant error responses
  • Type Safety: Full TypeScript implementation with robust type definitions and validation

Planned Features

  • Conditional Logic: Add branching and conditional execution to prompt templates
  • Version Control: Track changes and maintain prompt history with rollback capabilities
  • Search and Tagging: Organize prompts with metadata and full-text search functionality
  • Import/Export: Backup and share prompt collections across different environments

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Promptopia for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @lumile/promptopia-mcp --client claude

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

{ "mcpServers": { "promptopia-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "promptopia-mcp" ], "env": { "PROMPTS_DIR": "<YOUR_PROMPTS_DIR>" } } } }
Option 2: Local Installation
  1. Clone the repository
  2. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build the server:
npm run build
  1. Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config:
{ "mcpServers": { "promptopia-mcp": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/promptopia-mcp/build/index.js" ], "env": { "PROMPTS_DIR": "<YOUR_PROMPTS_DIR>" } } } }

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
