Integrate MCP Prompts

See: Prompts - Model Context Protocol

It would be great if Prompts from MCP servers could be exposed by Cursor.

I find that there is quite a lot of repetition sometimes in how I use certain tools and having a library of pre-canned prompts available from a MCP server would be really helpful.

I do this outside of Cursor already. I have a set of prompts that do things like:

  • Create new React UI pages from a Figma design (using a Figma tool, but that’s not essential for this feature).
  • Create a new data-processing flow connecting data from one Kafka topic and writing it to a new database table.

In essence, where we have developed a pattern for solving a certain kind of problem and we are re-applying that pattern to a new problem, there could be a Prompt that accompanies that which facilitates its application in Cursor.

Prompts can exist separately from tools. E.g. I could put the ‘build a UI from a Figma design’ prompt into a Figma MCP server, but I could also have a separate MCP server that is just a library of best-practice Prompts for solving certain problems.

I’d see this like a slash-command in slack, where you would just do something like:

  • /new-ui {figma design link} {some clarifying free-text}
  • /new-dataflow {source-kafka-topic} {database-table-name} {some clarifying free-text}

Thanks for reading!

need

That would be extremely useful, as, on my side, I use the same prompts over and over again just adding some different context by times

“Does the Cursor MCP server support prompts? I created an MCP server where tools are working fine, but the prompts I defined aren’t working as expected.”

met same issue

6

yes, how is this not in Cursor…?

7

Much needed. VS code recently provided this support.

8

No, currently not working but prompts & resources are working on the latest version of vscode. I have tried it.

Yes this has been posted several times. At the moment MCP support in Cursor does not work with Prompts/Resources.

Cursor Team is aware of this request.

(I merged two relevant threads into one)

Discovered today Cursor v1.3.5 supports MCP prompts - works like a charm!
Just type / in the chatbox and a list of prompts will pop right up.

I’m able to access prompts using /. But input dialog isn’t popping up to accept inputs for the prompts.

Prompts show as available, but they really don’t work as of version 1.5.7 beta. Even the most simple prompts with no input arguments throw an error.
