Prompt Lab MCP Server
Prompt optimization loops and regression test suites for Claude Code, with a companion web UI.
The agent runs inside your Claude Code session and owns all LLM work — scoring responses, proposing improved prompts, applying suggestions. The server holds workspace state and keeps the agent and the Prompt Lab UI in sync.
Quick start
Copy mcp-connect.json from this repo into your project as .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"prompt-lab": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://prompt-lab-mcp.up.railway.app/mcp"
}
}
}
Claude Code connects automatically on next start. Verify with /mcp.
Example session
# 1. Open a workspace — agent shares the UI URL
start_web_app()
→ "Open https://prompt-lab-mcp.vercel.app?s=abc123 to follow along."
# 2. Register an API key
register_api_key(workspaceId, "sk-ant-...")
# 3. Set a system prompt and a test case
set_system_prompt(workspaceId, "You are a concise customer support agent...")
add_test_cases(workspaceId, [{
query: "How do I reset my password?",
targetAnswer: "Click 'Forgot password' on the login page and follow the email link."
}])
# 4. Run the optimization loop
loop_optimization(workspaceId, threshold=85)
→ Iteration 1 — score 58: response too long, no mention of email link
→ Iteration 2 — score 74: better, but missing the exact step
→ Iteration 3 — score 91: SUCCESS — prompt updated to require step-by-step answers
The UI shows each iteration's score, the agent's reasoning, and the revised system prompt in real time.

MCP tools
Setup
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
start_web_app(workspaceId?) | Creates a workspace and returns the Prompt Lab UI URL. |
register_api_key(workspaceId, apiKey, provider?) | Registers an API key for test runs. Provider is auto-detected from the key prefix. |
list_models(workspaceId) | Lists available models based on registered keys. |
set_test_model(workspaceId, model) | Sets the model for test runs. Syncs to the UI model selector. |
delete_session(workspaceId) | Deletes a workspace and all its state. Irreversible. |
Templates
Templates are global and appear in the UI dropdowns as soon as they are pushed.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
save_template(name, testCases) | Saves a test suite template. Appears in the UI "Load test suite…" dropdown. |
save_system_prompt_template(name, content) | Saves a system prompt template. Appears in the UI "Load template…" dropdown. |
Workspace state
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_workspace_state(workspaceId) | Reads the full workspace: system prompt, test cases, results, suggestions, model. |
set_system_prompt(workspaceId, systemPrompt) | Sets the system prompt without incrementing the iteration counter. |
add_test_cases(workspaceId, testCases, replace?) | Adds test cases. replace=true overwrites all existing ones. |
post_test_result(workspaceId, testCaseId, response, score, reasoning, model) | Stores one scored test result. |
post_prompt_suggestion(workspaceId, prompt, reasoning, expectedGain?) | Queues a revised prompt for review in the UI. |
apply_suggestion(workspaceId, suggestionId) | Applies a pending suggestion and increments the iteration counter. |
get_regression_status(workspaceId, threshold?) | Pass/fail summary across all test cases for the current system prompt. |
Optimization
Requires a workspace with at least one test case.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
start_optimization_session(workspaceId, threshold?, maxIterations?) | Single pass — scores test cases, posts one suggestion, then waits for user review in the UI. |
loop_optimization(workspaceId, threshold?, maxIterations?) | Automated loop — iterates until all scores meet the threshold or max iterations is reached. |
Regression
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
run_regression_testsuite(workspaceId, threshold?) | Single pass — scores all test cases, no prompt changes. |
loop_regression(workspaceId, threshold?) | Automated loop — repeats until every individual score meets the threshold. A high average that masks one failing case is not a pass. |
Archive
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
pull_ui_history(workspaceId) | Fetches all session summaries and regression runs pushed by the UI. |
Self-hosting
Deploy to Railway and set these environment variables:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL | Upstash Redis URL for persistence |
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN | Upstash Redis token |
OVERHANG_PROMPT_LAB_URL | URL of your Prompt Lab UI deployment |
