Your prompts, in your terminal
Search, pipe, and load AI prompts from the command line. Connect your prompt library to Claude, Cursor, and VS Code via MCP. Load them as Agent Skills.
Sound familiar?
Prompts are part of your codebase. But most tools treat them like sticky notes.
Prompts scattered in chat history
That perfect system prompt you wrote last week? It's buried in a Claude conversation you can't find. Or in a Slack thread. Or a random .txt file.
No version control for prompts
You iterate on a prompt, get it working, then accidentally overwrite it. There's no diff, no history, no way to see what changed.
Can't access prompts from your tools
Your prompts live in a browser tab, but you work in the terminal. Copy-pasting between windows is not a workflow — it's a workaround.
Built for how you actually work
Three developer-native ways to access your prompt library.
CLI
Search, list, and copy prompts from your terminal. Pipe-friendly, scriptable, and works in any shell.
pnote search "refactor" | head -1 | pbcopy MCP Server
Connect your prompt library to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
Claude -> search_notes("code review") Agent Skills
Load prompts as reusable Skills in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and 40+ AI agents. Your system prompts, always available.
/pnote -> loads your system prompts From idea to system prompt in 4 steps
A workflow built for iteration, not perfection on the first try.
Draft a prompt in the web app
Write your initial prompt. No formatting rules, no templates — just text.
Iterate with versions
Each tweak is saved as a new snippet. Compare diffs to see what changed.
Tag and organize
AI auto-tagging categorizes your prompts. Use hierarchical tags like coding/review or writing/docs.
Use everywhere
Access from CLI, load via MCP, or deploy as an Agent Skill. One prompt, every surface.
Works with your stack
Native integrations for the tools you already use.
Why not just use GitHub Gists?
Gists store text. PromptNote manages prompt workflows.

What developers say
"pnote search from the terminal changed everything. I stopped digging through old conversations for that one system prompt that worked."
"The MCP integration means Claude always has my prompt library. No more pasting prompts into every new conversation."
"I load my code review guidelines as an Agent Skill. Every Claude Code session starts with my standards. It's beautiful."

Free CLI. Free MCP server. Free web app. Install in 30 seconds.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the CLI?
Run npm i -g pnote and authenticate with pnote login. You can start searching and copying prompts immediately.
Which AI tools support MCP?
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (with Copilot), Windsurf, and many more. Any tool supporting the Model Context Protocol works.
What are Agent Skills?
Skills are prompt files that AI agents load automatically. Place your PromptNote skill in your project and agents like Claude Code can access your prompt library.
Is there an API for custom integrations?
Yes. Generate API tokens (PAT) from the web app and use the REST API or MCP protocol for custom integrations.
Can I use PromptNote in CI/CD pipelines?
Yes. The CLI supports non-interactive mode with API token auth, perfect for pulling system prompts in automated workflows.
