What is Prompt Engineer Mcp Server

The prompt-engineer-mcp-server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to enhance coding prompts for optimal results using AI tools like Cursor AI and Claude by Anthropic.

Use cases

Use cases include rewriting prompts for coding tasks, improving AI-assisted coding experiences, and enhancing educational platforms that teach programming.

How to use

To use the prompt-engineer-mcp-server, install it via npm or Smithery, set your Anthropic API key as an environment variable, and run the server. Use the ‘rewrite_coding_prompt’ tool by providing a raw prompt and the programming language.

Key features

Key features include intelligent prompt engineering using Claude 3 Sonnet, language-aware customization, seamless integration with AI IDEs, and a low temperature setting for consistent output.

Where to use

The prompt-engineer-mcp-server can be used in software development, educational tools, and any environment where coding prompts need to be optimized for AI assistance.

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

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:

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

npm start

Or with MCP Inspector:

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

{
  "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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cursor-prompt-engineer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cursor-prompt-engineer"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Local Installation

# 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:

{
  "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.
