Quickstart

Connect any MCP-compatible AI coding assistant to PrompTick in about three minutes.

1. Create an MCP API key

1. Sign in at app.promptick.ai.
2. Go to MCP in the sidebar (or open /mcp directly).
3. Click Create Key, name it (e.g. "Claude Code — laptop"), and copy the generated key.

Your key looks like:

mk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Copy it now — you won't see it again. The full key is shown only at creation time.

2. Pick your client and paste the config

Choose your AI coding assistant and follow its page:

• Claude Code
• Cursor
• VS Code
• Windsurf
• JetBrains
• Zed
• Cline
• Continue
• Roo Code
• Cody
• Augment
• Gemini CLI
• Amazon Q

Every config points at the same endpoint:

https://api.promptick.ai/api/mcp

with an auth header:

Authorization: Bearer mk_live_<your-key>

3. Try it

Restart your client, then ask your AI assistant something like:

"Use PrompTick to generate a system prompt for a customer support chatbot."

Your assistant will call generate_prompt and return an optimized system + user prompt.

For a coding task:

"Use PrompTick to enrich this coding task: add rate limiting middleware to my Express API."

enrich_coding_prompt will return questions about your codebase (step 1), your assistant reads the relevant files, then re-calls with the answers and you get a detailed enriched prompt back (step 2).

Troubleshooting
