What you can ask Cursor
- "Use PromptPal to write a prompt for refactoring this file."

Prefer files in your repo?
PromptPal can also export your style and prompts as Cursor rules (.cursor/rules/*.mdc), AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md files from the Connect page, if you'd rather commit them to the project. See AGENTS.md, skills or MCP? for when each fits.
FAQs

Can my whole team use the same PromptPal prompts in Cursor?

Is the MCP connection read-only?
