Prompts

创建可重用的提示模板和工作流

提示使服务器能够定义可重用的提示模板和工作流,客户端可以轻松地将其展示给用户和LLM。它们提供了一种强大的方式来标准化和共享常见的LLM交互。

提示

提示被设计为用户控制的,这意味着它们从服务器暴露给客户端时,用户能够明确地选择使用它们。

概述

MCP中的提示是预定义的模板,可以:

  • 接受动态参数
  • 包含来自资源的上下文
  • 链接多个交互
  • 引导特定工作流
  • 作为UI元素展示(如斜杠命令)

Prompt结构

每个提示的定义包含:

json
{
  name: string;              // Unique identifier for the prompt
  description?: string;      // Human-readable description
  arguments?: [              // Optional list of arguments
    {
      name: string;          // Argument identifier
      description?: string;  // Argument description
      required?: boolean;    // Whether argument is required
    }
  ]
}

发现Prompts

客户端可以通过prompts/list端点发现可用的提示:

json
// Request
{
  method: "prompts/list"
}

// Response
{
  prompts: [
    {
      name: "analyze-code",
      description: "Analyze code for potential improvements",
      arguments: [
        {
          name: "language",
          description: "Programming language",
          required: true
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

使用 prompts

要使用提示,客户端需要发送prompts/get请求:

json
// Request
{
  method: "prompts/get",
  params: {
    name: "analyze-code",
    arguments: {
      language: "python"
    }
  }
}

// Response
{
  description: "Analyze Python code for potential improvements",
  messages: [
    {
      role: "user",
      content: {
        type: "text",
        text: "Please analyze the following Python code for potential improvements:\n\n```python\ndef calculate_sum(numbers):\n    total = 0\n    for num in numbers:\n        total = total + num\n    return total\n\nresult = calculate_sum([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])\nprint(result)\n```"
      }
    }
  ]
}

动态 prompts

提示可以是动态的,并包含:

嵌入的资源上下文

json
{
  "name": "analyze-project",
  "description": "Analyze project logs and code",
  "arguments": [
    {
      "name": "timeframe",
      "description": "Time period to analyze logs",
      "required": true
    },
    {
      "name": "fileUri",
      "description": "URI of code file to review",
      "required": true
    }
  ]
}

当处理prompts/get请求时:

json
{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": {
        "type": "text",
        "text": "Analyze these system logs and the code file for any issues:"
      }
    },
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": {
        "type": "resource",
        "resource": {
          "uri": "logs://recent?timeframe=1h",
          "text": "[2024-03-14 15:32:11] ERROR: Connection timeout in network.py:127\n[2024-03-14 15:32:15] WARN: Retrying connection (attempt 2/3)\n[2024-03-14 15:32:20] ERROR: Max retries exceeded",
          "mimeType": "text/plain"
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": {
        "type": "resource",
        "resource": {
          "uri": "file:///path/to/code.py",
          "text": "def connect_to_service(timeout=30):\n    retries = 3\n    for attempt in range(retries):\n        try:\n            return establish_connection(timeout)\n        except TimeoutError:\n            if attempt == retries - 1:\n                raise\n            time.sleep(5)\n\ndef establish_connection(timeout):\n    # Connection implementation\n    pass",
          "mimeType": "text/x-python"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

多步工作流

json
const debugWorkflow = {
  name: "debug-error",
  async getMessages(error: string) {
    return [
      {
        role: "user",
        content: {
          type: "text",
          text: `Here's an error I'm seeing: ${error}`
        }
      },
      {
        role: "assistant",
        content: {
          type: "text",
          text: "I'll help analyze this error. What have you tried so far?"
        }
      },
      {
        role: "user",
        content: {
          type: "text",
          text: "I've tried restarting the service, but the error persists."
        }
      }
    ];
  }
};

实现示例

以下是在MCP服务器中实现提示的完整示例:

import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server";
import {
  ListPromptsRequestSchema,
  GetPromptRequestSchema
} from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types";

    arguments: [
      {
        name: "changes",
        description: "Git diff or description of changes",
        required: true
      }
    ]
  },
  "explain-code": {
    name: "explain-code",
    description: "Explain how code works",
    arguments: [
      {
        name: "code",

        required: true
      },
      {
        name: "language",
        description: "Programming language",
        required: false
      }
    ]
  }
};

const server = new Server({

// List available prompts
server.setRequestHandler(ListPromptsRequestSchema, async () => {
  return {

  const prompt = PROMPTS[request.params.name];
  if (!prompt) {
    throw new Error(`Prompt not found: ${request.params.name}`);
  }

  if (request.params.name === "git-commit") {
    return {

            text: `Generate a concise but descriptive commit message for these changes:\n\n${request.params.arguments?.changes}`
          }
        }
      ]
    };
  }

最佳实践

在实现提示时:

  1. 使用清晰、描述性的提示名称
  2. 为提示和参数提供详细描述
  3. 验证所有必需参数
  4. 优雅地处理缺失参数
  5. 考虑提示模板的版本控制
  6. 适时缓存动态内容
  7. 实现错误处理
  8. 记录预期的参数格式
  9. 考虑提示的可组合性
  10. 使用各种输入测试提示

UI 集成

提示可以在客户端UI中以以下形式呈现:

  • 斜杠命令
  • 快速操作
  • 上下文菜单项
  • 命令面板条目
  • 引导式工作流
  • 交互式表单

更新和变更

服务器可以通过以下方式通知客户端提示变更:

  1. 服务器功能:prompts.listChanged
  2. 通知:notifications/prompts/list_changed
  3. 客户端重新获取提示列表

安全注意事项

在实现提示时:

  • 验证所有参数
  • 清理用户输入
  • 考虑速率限制
  • 实现访问控制
  • 审计提示使用情况
  • 适当处理敏感数据
  • 验证生成的内容
  • 实现超时机制
  • 考虑提示注入风险
  • 记录安全要求
