[Pagination](#pagination) ## Prompts **Server-side**: MCP servers can provide LLM prompt templates (called simply _prompts_) to clients. Every prompt has a required name which identifies it, and a set of named arguments, which are strings. Construct a prompt with a name and descriptions of its arguments. Associated with each prompt is a handler that expands the template given values for its arguments. Use [`Server.AddPrompt`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#Server.AddPrompt) to add a prompt along with its handler. If `AddPrompt` is called before a server is connected, the server will have the `prompts` capability. If all prompts are to be added after connection, set [`ServerOptions.HasPrompts`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ServerOptions.HasPrompts) to advertise the capability. **Client-side**: To list the server's prompts, call Call [`ClientSession.Prompts`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientSession.Prompts) to get an iterator. If needed, you can use the lower-level [`ClientSession.ListPrompts`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientSession.ListPrompts) to list the server's prompts. Call [`ClientSession.GetPrompt`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientSession.GetPrompt) to retrieve a prompt by name, providing arguments for expansion. Set [`ClientOptions.PromptListChangedHandler`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientOptions.PromptListChangedHandler) to be notified of changes in the list of prompts. ```go func Example_prompts() { ctx := context.Background() promptHandler := func(ctx context.Context, req *mcp.GetPromptRequest) (*mcp.GetPromptResult, error) { return &mcp.GetPromptResult{ Description: "Hi prompt", Messages: []*mcp.PromptMessage{ { Role: "user", Content: &mcp.TextContent{Text: "Say hi to " + req.Params.Arguments["name"]}, }, }, }, nil } // Create a server with a single prompt. s := mcp.NewServer(&mcp.Implementation{Name: "server", Version: "v0.0.1"}, nil) prompt := &mcp.Prompt{ Name: "greet", Arguments: []*mcp.PromptArgument{ { Name: "name", Description: "the name of the person to greet", Required: true, }, }, } s.AddPrompt(prompt, promptHandler) // Create a client. c := mcp.NewClient(&mcp.Implementation{Name: "client", Version: "v0.0.1"}, nil) // Connect the server and client. t1, t2 := mcp.NewInMemoryTransports() if _, err := s.Connect(ctx, t1, nil); err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } cs, err := c.Connect(ctx, t2, nil) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // List the prompts. for p, err := range cs.Prompts(ctx, nil) { if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } fmt.Println(p.Name) } // Get the prompt. res, err := cs.GetPrompt(ctx, &mcp.GetPromptParams{ Name: "greet", Arguments: map[string]string{"name": "Pat"}, }) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } for _, msg := range res.Messages { fmt.Println(msg.Role, msg.Content.(*mcp.TextContent).Text) } // Output: // greet // user Say hi to Pat } ``` ## Resources ## Tools ## Utilities ### Completion ### Logging ### Pagination
