MCP Simple Prompt

A simple MCP server that exposes a customizable prompt template with optional context and topic parameters.

Usage

Start the server using either stdio (default) or SSE transport:

# Using stdio transport (default)
mcp-simple-prompt

# Using SSE transport on custom port
mcp-simple-prompt --transport sse --port 8000

The server exposes a prompt named "simple" that accepts two optional arguments:

• context: Additional context to consider
• topic: Specific topic to focus on

Example

Using the MCP client, you can retrieve the prompt like this:

from mcp.client import ClientSession

async with ClientSession() as session:
    await session.initialize()

    # List available prompts
    prompts = await session.list_prompts()
    print(prompts)

    # Get the prompt with arguments
    prompt = await session.get_prompt("simple", {
        "context": "User is a software developer",
        "topic": "Python async programming"
    })
    print(prompt)
