io.github.GeiserX/lynxprompt-mcp

MCP server for LynxPrompt — browse, search, and manage AI configuration blueprints

Developer ToolsGov0.1.1

It works with lynxprompt.com or your own self-hosted LynxPrompt, over HTTP or stdio.

Features

  • Read-only resources for blueprints, hierarchies and the current user (lynxprompt://blueprints, lynxprompt://hierarchies, lynxprompt://user).
  • Tools to search, create, update and delete blueprints, and to create and delete hierarchies.
  • One JSON-RPC endpoint (/mcp) over HTTP, or stdio with TRANSPORT=stdio.
  • Listens on loopback by default; MCP_AUTH_TOKEN adds bearer auth when you expose it.
  • Ships as a Docker image, an npm package (npx lynxprompt-mcp) and multi-arch Go binaries.

Quick start

Register the npm package in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor); npx runs it over stdio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lynxprompt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "lynxprompt-mcp"],
      "env": { "LYNXPROMPT_TOKEN": "lp_..." }
    }
  }
}

For a self-hosted instance add LYNXPROMPT_URL to env. Docker Compose, the HTTP server and local builds are in Getting started.

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
