### `ClientPromptsMixin` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/client/mixins/prompts.py#L29" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Mixin providing prompt-related methods for Client.


**Methods:**

#### `list_prompts_mcp` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/client/mixins/prompts.py#L34" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
list_prompts_mcp(self: Client) -> mcp.types.ListPromptsResult
```

Send a prompts/list request and return the complete MCP protocol result.

**Args:**
- `cursor`: Optional pagination cursor from a previous request's nextCursor.

**Returns:**
- mcp.types.ListPromptsResult: The complete response object from the protocol,
containing the list of prompts and any additional metadata.

**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If called while the client is not connected.
- `McpError`: If the request results in a TimeoutError | JSONRPCError


#### `list_prompts` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/client/mixins/prompts.py#L57" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
list_prompts(self: Client) -> list[mcp.types.Prompt]
```

Retrieve all prompts available on the server.

This method automatically fetches all pages if the server paginates results,
returning the complete list. For manual pagination control (e.g., to handle
large result sets incrementally), use list_prompts_mcp() with the cursor parameter.

**Returns:**
- list\[mcp.types.Prompt]: A list of all Prompt objects.

**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If called while the client is not connected.
- `McpError`: If the request results in a TimeoutError | JSONRPCError


#### `get_prompt_mcp` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/client/mixins/prompts.py#L84" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
get_prompt_mcp(self: Client, name: str, arguments: dict[str, Any] | None = None, meta: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> mcp.types.GetPromptResult
```

Send a prompts/get request and return the complete MCP protocol result.

**Args:**
- `name`: The name of the prompt to retrieve.
- `arguments`: Arguments to pass to the prompt. Defaults to None.
- `meta`: Request metadata (e.g., for SEP-1686 tasks). Defaults to None.

**Returns:**
- mcp.types.GetPromptResult: The complete response object from the protocol,
containing the prompt messages and any additional metadata.

**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If called while the client is not connected.
- `McpError`: If the request results in a TimeoutError | JSONRPCError

```python
get_prompt(self: Client, name: str, arguments: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> mcp.types.GetPromptResult | PromptTask
```

Retrieve a rendered prompt message list from the server.

**Args:**
- `name`: The name of the prompt to retrieve.
- `arguments`: Arguments to pass to the prompt. Defaults to None.
- `version`: Specific prompt version to get. If None, gets highest version.
- `meta`: Optional request-level metadata.
- `task`: If True, execute as background task (SEP-1686). Defaults to False.
- `task_id`: Optional client-provided task ID (auto-generated if not provided).
- `ttl`: Time to keep results available in milliseconds (default 60s).

**Returns:**
- mcp.types.GetPromptResult | PromptTask: The complete response object if task=False,
or a PromptTask object if task=True.

**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If called while the client is not connected.
- `McpError`: If the request results in a TimeoutError | JSONRPCError
