FAQPage Schema

How do I scaffold a new MCP prompt template?▼

To scaffold a new MCP prompt template, use the guided workflow to create a definition file at src/mcp-server/prompts/definitions/{{prompt-name}}.prompt.ts, ensuring consistent structure and required field descriptions before registration.

How do I register a prompt in an MCP server's createApp() function?▼

You register a prompt in createApp() by following the standard registration workflow provided during scaffolding. This integrates the new template into the MCP server, making the reusable prompt interaction available to clients.

What are the required fields for an MCP prompt definition?▼

An MCP prompt definition requires detailed descriptions for all required fields to ensure pure template behavior. The scaffolding process validates these fields, enforcing standard structure and clear naming to maintain consistency across reusable prompt templates.

How do I verify a newly added MCP prompt template?▼

You verify a newly added MCP prompt template by running the bun run devcheck command. This verification step ensures the prompt file is correctly structured, properly registered in createApp(), and functions as expected within the server.

Can I use this scaffolding workflow for existing MCP prompt files?▼

This scaffolding workflow is designed for creating new MCP prompt files rather than modifying existing ones. It provides end-to-end instructions from initial prompt naming and purpose to file creation and registration integration into createApp() for new templates.
