Prompts provide reusable message templates that MCP clients can retrieve and fill with arguments. They help standardize how LLMs interact with your tools and resources.

​
Template Syntax

Prompt templates use {argument_name} syntax for variable substitution: 
Analyze the {metric} data for {department} over the past {time_period}.
Focus on trends and anomalies. Present results as a structured summary.
When a client requests this prompt, it provides values for metric, department, and time_period.

​
Arguments

Arguments are auto-detected from the template text. Each {argument_name} placeholder becomes a configurable argument:
PropertyDescription
NameAuto-detected from {name}
DescriptionHuman-readable explanation
RequiredWhether the client must provide this argument

​
Auto-Detection

As you type the template, arguments are automatically extracted and listed. Adding {new_arg} immediately creates a new argument entry.

​
Preview

The preview panel lets you test your prompt with sample values:
  1. Enter test values for each argument
  2. The preview shows the fully rendered prompt
  3. Verify the output reads correctly before saving
