FAQ from Prompt Book Server

How do I add a new prompt book?

You have two options: connect to an existing Notion database by providing a Notion API token and database ID, or create a new database with the proper schema using the create_prompt_database tool, specifying a Notion API token and a parent page ID.

What are the Notion database requirements?

For optimal functionality, the database should have properties: Name (title), Type (select), and Tags (multi-select). The prompt content is stored in the page body as blocks of text.

Where is the configuration file stored?

The configuration file is located at ~/.mcp_config/prompt_book.json. It contains an array of prompt book objects (each with id, name, notion_token, notion_database_id) and an activePromptBookId.

How can I pre-configure prompt books for deployment?

Set the DEFAULT_BOOKS environment variable with a valid JSON string matching the configuration file structure. This is used only when the configuration file does not already exist.

What tools does Prompt Book Server provide?

It offers configuration management tools (e.g., list_prompt_books, create_prompt_book_config, activate_prompt_book) and prompt management tools (e.g., list_prompts, search_prompts_by_title, add_prompt, update_prompt, copy_prompt).
