@promptingbox/mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for PromptingBox — save, manage, and organize prompts directly from Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI tools.

Setup

1. Get your API key

Go to PromptingBox Settings → MCP Integration and create an API key.

2. Install the server (run once)

npm install -g @promptingbox/mcp

3. Configure your AI tool

Tip: Name the server pbox so you can naturally say things like "save this to pbox" or "list my pbox prompts".
