From the repository

Install with pip install promptheus and ensure at least one provider API key is set in a .env file or environment variables. Start the MCP server with promptheus mcp or python -m promptheus.mcp_server. The server provides tools such as refine_prompt, tweak_prompt, list_models, list_providers, and validate_environment. An interactive CLI mode (promptheus) and a web UI (promptheus web) are also available.

Claude Desktop / Cursor
