Question 1

What is the Claude Custom Prompts MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

It's a Node.js server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude AI models, allowing you to define and use custom prompt templates with a modular, category-based organization system.

Question 2

What is MCP?

Accepted Answer

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It's an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs.

Question 3

What are the key features of the MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

Key features include easy integration with Claude, custom prompt templates, support for prompt arguments with validation, organized prompt categories, multiple transport options, conversation history access, prompt chains, and distributed prompts configuration.

Question 4

How do I install the MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

You need Node.js v16 or higher and npm or yarn. Clone the repository, navigate to the 'server' directory, run `npm install`, `npm run build`, and then `npm start`.

Question 5

How do I use custom prompts in Claude Desktop?

Accepted Answer

Once the server is running and configured in Claude Desktop, type `>>command_name argument1 argument2`.

Question 6

What are prompt chains?

Accepted Answer

Prompt chains allow you to define and execute a sequence of prompts, with each prompt in the chain using the results from previous prompts, enabling complex tasks to be broken down into smaller steps.

Question 7

What are the special placeholders I can use in prompt templates?

Accepted Answer

You can use `{{previous_message}}` to insert a prompt asking Claude to reference the previous message in its context.

Question 8

How do I configure the MCP Server in Claude Desktop?

Accepted Answer

Locate your `claude_desktop_config.json` file and add a `mcp_servers` section with the correct command, arguments, and working directory (`cwd`).  Ensure the paths are absolute and use double backslashes in Windows.

Question 9

What do I do if the server can't find configuration files or prompt files?

Accepted Answer

The working directory is likely incorrect. The server logs its working directory at startup – check this to verify it's what you expect. Ensure the `cwd` parameter in Claude Desktop is correctly configured.

Question 10

How do I create a new prompt category?

Accepted Answer

Create a new folder in the `prompts` directory, create a `prompts.json` file in the new category folder, add your category to the `categories` array in `promptsConfig.json`, and add the path to your category's `prompts.json` file to the `imports` array in `promptsConfig.json`.

Question 11

What built-in commands does the server support?

Accepted Answer

The server supports `/listprompts` (or `>>listprompts`) to list all available commands, and `/command_name [arguments]` (or `>>command_name [arguments]`) to execute a command.

Question 12

How can I reload prompts without restarting the server?

Accepted Answer

You can use the `reload_prompts` tool via the API or Claude interface. For example, use the command `>>reload_prompts` in Claude, or make a POST request to `/api/v1/tools/reload_prompts`.

Question 13

How do I update or delete prompts via the API?

Accepted Answer

Use the `/api/v1/tools/update_prompt` and `/api/v1/tools/delete_prompt` API endpoints respectively, sending a POST request with the required parameters in JSON format.

Question 14

Where can I find the server logs for troubleshooting?

Accepted Answer

The server logs are located in the `server.log` file within the server directory. The exact path depends on your operating system and installation location.

Question 15

How does the Claude Custom Prompts MCP Server integrate with UBOS?

Accepted Answer

UBOS can orchestrate AI Agents, connect them with enterprise data, build custom AI Agents with your LLM model and Multi-Agent Systems. The MCP Server provides custom prompts for those agents.
