Prompt Pilot Dev MCP Server

How to configure the Prompt Pilot Dev MCP server for an AI-assisted developer experience.

PromptPilot is an AI - powered web application designed to assist users in generating and enhancing prompts for various generative AI models. It offers a quick generation feature for simple needs and a unique conversational guide (Masterful Prompt Creator) for crafting high - quality, detailed prompts. This repository contains the codebase for PromptPilot.

Before you begin

To follow this guide, you'll need to install the following prerequisites:

Node.js v18 (or later)
npm
A compatible MCP client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Cherry Studio, etc.)

Step 1: Configure your MCP client

Each MCP client requires specific configuration to communicate with the Prompt Pilot Dev MCP server.

MCP tools are currently only available in Agent mode.

In your project directory, create the configuration directory and file:
```
mkdir -p .cursor
touch .cursor/mcp.json
```

Add the following configuration to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "enhance-prompt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "enhance-prompt-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROMPT_PILOT_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 2: Restart your MCP client

Save all configuration changes.

Restart your MCP client to apply the new settings.

Step 3: Verify the connection

To confirm your MCP server is working:

Look for visual indicators in your client
Ask a simple question to test the connection

Troubleshooting

Backend Logs: Check the console logs of your backend process for error messages.
Network Issues: Ensure your backend is running on the correct port and that there are no firewall issues blocking access. If using Docker, verify port mappings.
Dependencies: Make sure all project dependencies were installed successfully.

Security and privacy

The MCP server operates locally on your device, fetching Prompt Pilot documentation from promptpilot.online/mcp-server and other sources.
