AI Prompt Library · MCP
Use 1,030+ prompts straight from your AI
This site runs a public MCP server — connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi, or any other MCP-compatible AI assistant, and it can search and pull real prompts from Anselm Fowel's library mid-conversation, with no copy-pasting between tabs. No coding required to use it.

https://anselmfowel.com/api/mcpWhat is MCP, in plain English?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect directly to outside tools and data — the same way a web browser can open any website, an MCP-compatible AI assistant can connect to any MCP server. Once connected, the AI can call that server's "tools" on its own, in the middle of a normal conversation with you.
In this case, the server is Anselm Fowel's AI Prompt Library. Instead of opening anselmfowel.com/ai-library/prompts in a browser tab, searching, and copy-pasting a prompt into Claude or ChatGPT, you can just ask your AI assistant for it directly — it fetches the real thing itself.
What you can do with it
list_prompt_categoriesSee every category — Marketing, Social Media, Fintech, HR, Copywriting, and more — with how many prompts are in each.
No signupsearch_promptsSearch by keyword and/or category. Returns titles and short descriptions so the AI (and you) can pick the right one.
No signupget_promptFetches the full, ready-to-use text of one prompt. Asks for an email the first time — same deal as the website.

Every platform's exact wording differs slightly and changes over time, but the shape is always the same: find where that platform lets you add a custom MCP server / connector, and paste the URL above.
Claude.ai / Claude Desktop
- 1Open Settings → Connectors (sometimes shown as "Integrations").
- 2Choose "Add custom connector" (or "Add MCP server").
- 3Paste the URL:
https://anselmfowel.com/api/mcp - 4Save, then start a new chat and ask it to search the prompt library.
Claude Code (terminal)
- 1Run this one command in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http anselm-prompts https://anselmfowel.com/api/mcpChatGPT
- 1Open Settings → Connectors (currently a beta / developer-mode feature on some plans).
- 2Choose "Create" or "Add connector", then "Custom MCP server".
- 3Paste the URL:
https://anselmfowel.com/api/mcp - 4Availability depends on your OpenAI plan and account settings — if you don’t see this option, custom connectors may not be enabled for your account yet.
Kimi (Moonshot AI) & any other MCP-compatible platform
- 1Look for "MCP server", "Custom connector", "Tools", or "Plugins" in that platform’s settings.
- 2Paste the same URL:
https://anselmfowel.com/api/mcp - 3If a platform asks for a transport type, choose "Streamable HTTP" (sometimes just "HTTP").
Try it — things to say once it's connected
“What categories are in Anselm Fowel's prompt library?”
“Search Anselm's prompt library for social media content calendar prompts.”
“Get me the full text of the social media god prompt — my email is [email protected].”
You don't need to know the exact tool names above — just ask naturally. Your AI assistant figures out which tool to call.
How the email step works
Browsing is completely free and anonymous — list_prompt_categories and search_prompts need nothing from you. The first time your AI assistant calls get_prompt to fetch the full text of a specific prompt, it needs an email address, exactly like copying a prompt on the website does. That email is subscribed to Anselm Fowel's newsletter — the same list, same one-time gate, just reached from your AI assistant instead of a browser popup.
Reuse the same email on later calls in the same conversation and your AI won't ask again.
For developers
The server speaks standard MCP over Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0), protocol version 2025-03-26, with auth.type: none at the transport level (the email requirement lives inside the get_prompt tool's arguments, not OAuth). Full machine-readable details:
- /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json — server card (SEP-1649), full tool schemas
- /auth.md — agent authentication reference
Raw JSON-RPC example, if you're building your own client:
curl -X POST https://anselmfowel.com/api/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
"params":{"name":"search_prompts",
"arguments":{"query":"social media","limit":5}}}'Questions
Do I need to pay or create an account?
No. Browsing every category and searching the full library is free with zero signup. Only fetching a prompt's full text asks for an email, once.
Is this safe to connect?
Yes — it doesn't request access to your accounts, files, or any platform credentials. It only exposes read-only prompt content and accepts an email address for the newsletter gate. There is nothing to authorize or grant permission for beyond adding the URL.
My AI platform doesn't have an option for this yet
MCP support is still rolling out across different AI platforms. If yours doesn't support custom MCP connectors yet, you can always browse and copy prompts directly at /ai-library/prompts.
Where does my email actually go?
The same newsletter list the website's own subscribe form uses — nothing separate or different for MCP users.
Prefer browsing in a normal tab?
The exact same library is fully browsable on the website — no AI assistant required.
