MCP Prompt Library
Provides templates and configuration instructions for GitHub Copilot to standardize AI-assisted coding with curated prompts and workflows.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MCP Prompt Librarystart the new-feature chain"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Why This Exists
AI assistants are powerful, but they're only as good as the prompts you give them. Most developers:
Repeat the same prompts across projects
Forget effective prompts they used before
Struggle to compose complex multi-step workflows
Lack consistency in AI-assisted development patterns
MCP Prompt Library solves this by providing:
What | How |
110+ battle-tested prompts | Organized by development phase (planning, development, quality, operations, performance, maintenance, devex, security, evals) |
MCP server with 15 tools | Direct integration with Claude, OpenCode, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client |
Smart suggestions | AI recommends prompts based on what you're doing |
Workflow chains | Multi-step guided processes for features, bugs, refactoring, security |
Composable snippets | Mix modifiers like |

Quick Start
📦 Usage as npm Package (Best for Developers)
Install the library to use prompts programmatically in your own tools:
npm install @esreekarreddy/ai-promptsimport {
getPrompt,
searchPrompts,
composePrompts,
} from "@esreekarreddy/ai-prompts";
// 1. Get a specific prompt
const prd = getPrompt("prd-generator");
console.log(prd.content);
// 2. Search for prompts
const securityPrompts = searchPrompts("security");
// 3. Compose a custom prompt with modifiers
const complexTask = composePrompts([
"prd-generator",
"ultrathink",
"security-first",
]);🖥️ Usage as MCP Server (Best for Cursor/Claude)
1. Clone & Build
git clone https://github.com/esreekarreddy/mcp-prompt-library.git
cd mcp-prompt-library/mcp-server
npm install && npm run build2. Configure Your AI Tool
See Integrations for your specific tool (OpenCode, Claude Desktop, Cursor).
3. Start Using
Once connected, your AI assistant has access to all prompts:
"suggest prompts for what I'm doing"
"get the PRD generator prompt"
"start the new-feature chain"
"compose prd-generator with ultrathink"Features
Smart Intent Detection
Tell your AI what you're doing, and it suggests the right prompts:
You Say | It Suggests |
"I need to build a new feature" | PRD generator, new-feature chain |
"Stuck on a bug" | Deep debugger, debugging skill, bug-fix chain |
"Security review before launch" | Security audit, security-hardening chain |
"This code is a mess" | Code cleaner, refactoring skill, refactor chain |
"Complex architecture decision" | Megathink modifier, senior-engineer persona |
Workflow Chains
Multi-step guided workflows for complex tasks:
Chain | Steps | Use Case |
| 7 | From PRD to deployment |
| 7 | Systematic debugging to resolution |
| 6 | Safe refactoring with verification |
| 7 | Comprehensive security review |
| 7 | Pre-launch checklist to deployment |
# Start a chain
node dist/cli.js chains # List available chains
start_chain chain="new-feature" # Via MCP toolComposable Prompts
Combine any prompts with modifiers:
# CLI
node dist/cli.js compose prd-generator ultrathink security-first
# MCP Tool
compose_prompt items=["prd-generator", "ultrathink", "security-first"]Quick Modifiers
Instant prompt enhancers:
Modifier | Effect |
| Deep analysis with extended reasoning |
| Maximum thinking for architecture decisions |
| Harsh, unfiltered feedback mode |
| Systematic debugging approach |
| Planning mode - no code yet |
| Security-focused review |
| Explain like I'm 12 |
MCP Server
The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes 15 tools to your AI assistant:
Library Tools
Tool | Purpose |
| Fetch any prompt by name (fuzzy matching works) |
| Search library by keywords |
| Smart suggestions based on your intent |
| Analyze request and suggest approach + relevant prompts |
| Save new prompts to the library |
| Library statistics |
| Random prompt for inspiration |
Chain Tools
Tool | Purpose |
| View available workflow chains |
| Begin a multi-step workflow |
| Advance to next step |
| View workflow progress |
| Jump to specific step |
Utility Tools
Tool | Purpose |
| Combine multiple prompts |
| Instant one-liner modifiers |
| Analyze project → suggest stack-specific prompts |
How It Works
You: "Build a user authentication system"
↓
AI calls: suggest_prompts("Build a user authentication system")
↓
Returns: security-audit, new-feature chain, auth patterns
↓
AI calls: start_chain("new-feature")
↓
AI guides you through: PRD → Architecture → Implementation → Testing → DeployLibrary Contents
