Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search, browse and pick from the free NerdyChefs.ai prompt library from any MCP client.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nerdychefs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "nerdychefs-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add nerdychefs -- npx -y nerdychefs-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nerdychefs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "nerdychefs-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "nerdychefs": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "nerdychefs-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is NerdyChefs Prompts safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

nerdychefs-mcp

An MCP server that gives your assistant access to the free prompt library at NerdyChefs.ai. Search for a task, open a pack, or pick a random prompt to try.

It runs over stdio and fetches prompts when you first need them. Data stays in memory for 60 minutes. Requires Node 20 or newer.

Tools

NameArgumentsWhat you get
search_promptsquery (2 to 200 characters); optional category, persona, tag, limit (1 to 25, default 10), include_prompt_text (default false)Ranked prompt summaries, total matches, and links.
get_promptid (integer)One prompt with its full text and links.
random_promptOptional category, persona, tagA random prompt with full text and the pool size.
list_packsOptional category, query, limit (1 to 120, default 50)Packs ordered by title, with descriptions and links.
get_packid (slug or exact title); optional include_prompts (default true), include_prompt_text (default false)Pack details, sections, and optional prompts ordered by ID.
list_categoriesNoneCategories, subcategories, and prompt counts.
list_personasOptional top (1 to 873, default 50), queryPersonas ordered by count, then name.
list_tagsOptional top (1 to 500, default 50), queryTags ordered by count, then name.

Category, persona, and tag filters use case-insensitive exact matches. Pack queries search titles and descriptions. Persona and tag queries match part of a name. Search results omit prompt text unless requested. Every argument above also carries its own description in the tool schema, so your client can show you the same detail inline.

Two things catch people out, and both fail quietly rather than with an error:

  • Filter on the category NAME, not its id. list_categories returns both, and only Engineering & DevOps matches. The slug form engineering-devops returns an empty result.
  • `get_prompt` ids are positions in the published prompt file, not ids from the website. Use an id from search_prompts, random_prompt or get_pack in the same session. An id copied from a nerdychefs.ai page, or saved from last week, can name a different prompt.

The resource nerdychefs://pack/{slug} returns the same JSON as get_pack with prompt summaries and no prompt text.

Installation for Claude Desktop

Add this entry to your MCP configuration, then restart the client:

{

"mcpServers": { "nerdychefs": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "nerdychefs-mcp"] } } }

Installation for Claude Code

claude mcp add nerdychefs -- npx -y nerdychefs-mcp

Installation for Cursor

Add this to your MCP configuration:

{

"mcpServers": { "nerdychefs": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "nerdychefs-mcp"] } } }

Installation for Codex CLI

codex mcp add nerdychefs -- npx -y nerdychefs-mcp

Configuration

NERDYCHEFS_API_BASE defaults to https://www.nerdychefs.ai/api. Set it in the server's environment to change the API path. Remote URLs must use HTTPS on www.nerdychefs.ai. Local HTTP addresses are accepted for fixture tests. Redirects are refused.

Files load on demand and are cached separately for 60 minutes. Failed requests get one retry. A failed tool call names the file that could not load.

Privacy

The only remote host the server talks to is www.nerdychefs.ai. It downloads public JSON files. Searches and filters run locally. No user queries, prompt inputs, or client conversations are sent to the site.

Nothing is logged or sent anywhere else. There is no telemetry, analytics, or runtime disk cache. Local fixture tests use a loopback HTTP server. Returned website links include the fixed utm_source=mcp, utm_medium=tool, and utm_campaign=nerdychefs_mcp parameters.

Attribution

Prompts from NerdyChefs.ai. Prompts are served live from nerdychefs.ai and remain that site's content. Each prompt result includes attribution and links to its prompt and pack pages. The package does not include the prompt corpus.

Development

pnpm install

pnpm build pnpm test NERDYCHEFS_LIVE=1 pnpm test

The regular tests use small local fixtures. The live smoke test runs only when NERDYCHEFS_LIVE=1. Start the compiled server with node dist/index.js, or use pnpm dev while editing. Standard output is reserved for MCP messages.
