# `fastmcp.server.transforms.prompts_as_tools`


Transform that exposes prompts as tools.

This transform generates tools for listing and getting prompts, enabling
clients that only support tools to access prompt functionality.

Example:
    ```python
    from fastmcp import FastMCP
    from fastmcp.server.transforms import PromptsAsTools

    mcp = FastMCP("Server")
    mcp.add_transform(PromptsAsTools(mcp))
    # Now has list_prompts and get_prompt tools
    ```


## Classes

### `PromptsAsTools` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/transforms/prompts_as_tools.py#L35" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Transform that adds tools for listing and getting prompts.

Generates two tools:
- `list_prompts`: Lists all prompts from the provider
- `get_prompt`: Gets a specific prompt with optional arguments

The transform captures a provider reference at construction and queries it
for prompts when the generated tools are called. When used with FastMCP,
the provider's auth and visibility filtering is automatically applied.


**Methods:**

```python
list_tools(self, tools: Sequence[Tool]) -> Sequence[Tool]
```

Add prompt tools to the tool list.


#### `get_tool` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/transforms/prompts_as_tools.py#L74" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
