Promptlike MCP server

promptlike — Claude Code plugin

Reach your PromptLikeEngineer prompt library from inside Claude Code. Your prompts stay versioned where you saved them; Claude pulls one by name at the moment it needs it — no copy-paste, no stale duplicates in a system prompt.

Install

From the community marketplace (once this plugin is listed there):

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community

Then install promptlike from @claude-community.

Or straight from this repo — works today, and useful for trying it before the marketplace listing lands:

git clone https://github.com/zeynepaslierhann/promptlike-plugin
claude --plugin-dir ./promptlike-plugin

Sign in once so the server can read your library (it shares the CLI session):

npm i -g promptlike && ple login

Without signing in the plugin still loads and its tools are listed — each call just answers "Not logged in. Run ple login first." instead of returning prompts. The suggestion hook then uses your local prompts (ple save).

What it adds

Needs promptlike-mcp 0.4+ (the plugin pins @0.4).

Saving from Claude Code

Ask Claude to save a prompt, or run /mcppromptlikesave-this. Writes are add-only: saveprompt creates a prompt, updateprompt adds a new version and keeps the old one. Nothing is ever deleted, and saving the same thing twice changes nothing. Plan limits apply exactly as on the web — when you hit one, Claude tells you and nothing is saved. Content that looks like an API key or token is refused.

Suggestion hook — what it does and how to turn it off

On every message you send, the plugin runs ple suggest --hook (a Claude Code UserPromptSubmit hook). It:

your library (or ~/.promptlike when signed out). Your message is not sent anywhere;

• matches your message against your saved prompts on this machine — a cached copy of

prompts it already suggested in this session;

• stays silent for slash commands, short messages (under 20 characters), weak matches, and

only if it is clearly relevant;

• otherwise adds one short note for Claude naming up to three prompts. Claude fetches one

your message: it answers in well under a second or stays silent.

• needs the CLI (npm i -g promptlike); without it the hook does nothing. It never blocks

Turn it off any of these ways:

• /config → PromptLikeEngineer → Suggest saved prompts → false
• ple config set suggest off
• PLE_SUGGEST=off in your environment (or in Claude Code's settings.json → env)

How often a suggestion is shown is counted on your machine only (ple stats shows it); the server only learns when Claude actually fetches a suggested prompt.
