MCPJungle supports MCP Prompts as defined in the MCP specification. When you register an MCP server that provides prompt templates, MCPJungle automatically registers those prompts alongside the server’s tools. You can then list, retrieve, and manage them through the CLI without any extra setup.

​
Canonical prompt names

Every prompt in MCPJungle is identified by a canonical name that follows the same pattern as tools: 
<server-name>__<prompt-name>
For example, the Model Details prompt from the huggingface server is referred to as huggingface__Model Details. The server name and prompt name are separated by a double underscore (__).

​
Listing prompts

List all prompts registered in MCPJungle, or filter by server: 
# List prompts from a specific server
mcpjungle list prompts --server huggingface

# List all prompts across all servers
mcpjungle list prompts
The output shows each prompt’s canonical name, description, and whether it is enabled or disabled.

​
Retrieving a prompt

Use get prompt to render a prompt template with arguments and see the generated messages: 
mcpjungle get prompt "huggingface__Model Details" --arg model_id="openai/gpt-oss-120b"
Pass arguments with one --arg key=value flag per argument. Arguments are forwarded to the upstream MCP server, which fills them into the prompt template and returns the rendered messages.
Run mcpjungle list prompts first to find available prompt names and their required arguments.

​
Enabling and disabling prompts

You can disable individual prompts or all prompts from a server. Disabled prompts are not accessible via the MCPJungle gateway, but you can still manage them through the CLI. 
# Disable a specific prompt
mcpjungle disable prompt "huggingface__Model Details"

# Disable all prompts from a server
mcpjungle disable prompt context7

# Re-enable all prompts from a server
mcpjungle enable prompt context7
When you register a new MCP server, all of its prompts are enabled by default. Disabling a server with mcpjungle disable server <name> disables all of its tools and prompts at once.

​
Transport compatibility

MCPJungle’s prompt support targets the MCP 2025-06-18 specification. Servers that implement an earlier version of the spec may not expose prompts in a compatible format.

​
Known limitation

Prompts are not currently available through Tool Group endpoints. MCP clients connected to a group-specific URL (/v0/groups/{name}/mcp) cannot discover or call prompts. This is a known issue tracked at mcpjungle#136.
