Meta Prompt MCP

Meta-Prompt MCP is an MCP server that surfaces official prompting best practices from Google and Anthropic directly within your LLM workflow. Instead of searching documentation or guessing how to instruct an LLM, you can query expert guides on-demand. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting AI & ML tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Meta Prompt MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add kapillamba4-meta-prompt-mcp -- uvx meta-prompt-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kapillamba4-meta-prompt-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "meta-prompt-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
