The 5 Questions

|---|----------|---------|
| 1 | **Project name** | my-budget-app |
| 2 | **What to build** | A budget tracking app for freelancers |
| 3 | **Additional context** *(optional)* | Simple UI, mobile-friendly |
| 4 | **Key features** | Expense tracking; Monthly reports; CSV export |
| 5 | **Tech stack** *(optional)* | React, Node.js — or let AI decide |
The generated prompt is **automatically copied to your clipboard**. Just paste it into your favorite AI tool.

MCP Server
pmpt includes a built-in MCP server so AI tools can interact with pmpt directly. This means Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools can save snapshots, check status, and review history without you typing commands.
