Connect AI Coding Tools to Your Prompt Library with MCP

## What is MCP? MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI tools connect to external data sources through a single, unified interface. Think of it like USB for AI — one plug, every tool. TeamPrompt now ships with a built-in MCP server. Once connected, your AI coding tools can search your prompt library, run DLP scans, and log usage — all without leaving the editor. ## Which tools support MCP? Any tool that supports the MCP protocol, including: - **Claude Desktop** — Anthropic's desktop app - **Cursor** — AI-powered code editor - **Windsurf** — Codeium's AI IDE - **Claude Code** — Anthropic's CLI tool - Any MCP-compatible client ## What can you do with it? TeamPrompt exposes 5 tools through MCP: ### 1. Search prompts Ask your AI tool to find prompts from your team's library. > "Search my team's prompts about onboarding" ### 2. Get prompt content Fetch the full text of any prompt by name or ID. > "Get the bug report template" ### 3. List templates Browse all your fill-in-the-blank prompt templates. > "Show me all templates with variables" ### 4. Check DLP Scan text against your organization's security rules before sending to AI. > "Check if this text has any PII or sensitive data" ### 5. Log usage Record that a prompt was used for analytics and audit compliance. > "Log that I used the code review prompt in Cursor" ## How to set it up Setup takes about 2 minutes: 1. Go to **Settings → Integrations → MCP Server** 2. Click **Create API Key** — name it something like "Cursor - Work Laptop" 3. Select which permissions the key should have (or leave all enabled) 4. Copy the **connection config JSON** that appears 5. Paste it into your AI tool's MCP settings 6. Done — your AI tool can now access your TeamPrompt workspace ### Claude Desktop config Paste the config JSON into your `claude_desktop_config.json` file: ```json { "mcpServers": { "teamprompt": { "url": "https://teamprompt.app/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer tp_live_your_key_here" } } } } ``` ### Cursor config Go to **Settings → MCP Servers → Add** and paste the same config. ## Security API keys use SHA-256 hashing — the raw key is shown once and never stored. Each key has granular scope control, so you can create read-only keys (just search and get) or full-access keys that include DLP scanning and usage logging. Keys can be revoked instantly from the settings page, and you can set optional expiration dates for temporary access. ## What this means for your team MCP turns TeamPrompt into the connective layer between your team and every AI tool they use — not just the ones the browser extension covers. Your prompts, security rules, and audit logging extend to coding tools, CLI agents, and any future MCP-compatible app. Zero additional cost. Near-zero data usage. Maximum reach.
