Use your saved prompts in Claude Desktop
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is how AI apps like Claude Desktop and Cursor talk to other software. Prompt Petal speaks it, so the prompts you keep on your petals can be used inside those apps too.
What you get
Every prompt you have saved appears in the AI app's own list of prompts. Choose one, give it the text to work on, and it arrives filled in. Claude can also look through your prompts itself and use the right one when you ask it to.
Your prompts stay on your Mac. The AI app asks Prompt Petal for one when it needs a prompt. This is part of Prompt Petal Plus.
Add it to Claude Desktop
- Open Prompt Petal Settings and choose the AI tab.
- Click Claude, then Add beside Claude Desktop.
- Quit Claude Desktop and open it again.
Find a prompt fast
Ask Claude to search your prompts: "Find my Prompt Petal prompt about meeting notes" or "Which of my prompts rewrite things?" Claude reads the list and names the ones that match. Say "Use it on this" and the prompt arrives filled in with your text.
Other AI apps
Cursor and VS Code have their own Add buttons in the same tab, and Codex has a command to copy on the ChatGPT page. For any other AI app, click Copy Request beside Ask your AI to add Prompt Petal and send it in that app's chat. Claude can also save a new prompt you ask for, or change one. Every AI app, step by step.
