Features

MCP Prompt

This server implements the MCP Prompts specification for prompt discovery and retrieval.

prompts/list: List all available prompts
- Optional cursor-based pagination
- Returns prompt names and their required arguments, limitation: all arguments are assumed to be optional and do not include descriptions as variables do not have specification in Langfuse
- Includes next cursor for pagination if there's more than 1 page of prompts
prompts/get: Get a specific prompt
- Transforms Langfuse prompts (text and chat) into MCP prompt objects
- Compiles prompt with provided variables

Tools

To increase compatibility with other MCP clients that do not support the prompt capability, the server also exports tools that replicate the functionality of the MCP Prompts.

get-prompts: List available prompts
- Optional cursor parameter for pagination
- Returns a list of prompts with their arguments
get-prompt: Retrieve and compile a specific prompt
- Required name parameter: Name of the prompt to retrieve
- Optional arguments parameter: JSON object with prompt variables

Development

npm install

# build current file
npm run build

# test in mcp inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node ./build/index.js

Usage

Step 1: Build

npm install
npm run build

Step 2: Add the server to your MCP servers:

Claude Desktop

Configure Claude for Desktop by editing claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "langfuse": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["<absolute-path>/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY": "your-public-key",
        "LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY": "your-secret-key",
        "LANGFUSE_BASEURL": "https://cloud.langfuse.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Make sure to replace the environment variables with your actual Langfuse API keys. The server will now be available to use in Claude Desktop.

Cursor

Add new server to Cursor:

Name: Langfuse Prompts
Type: command

Command:

LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY="your-public-key" LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key" LANGFUSE_BASEURL="https://cloud.langfuse.com" node absolute-path/build/index.js

Limitations

The MCP Server is a work in progress and has some limitations:

Only prompts with a production label in Langfuse are returned
All arguments are assumed to be optional and do not include descriptions as variables do not have specification in Langfuse
List operations require fetching each prompt individually in the background to extract the arguments, this works but is not efficient
