First Steps

Once you have registered and authenticated the MCP server in Claude Code, start with project setup.

Recommended: Run Project Setup

The first thing to do after connecting is run the check_project_setup prompt. It automatically prepares the following for your project:

• .history/ directory: A place to accumulate knowledge gained during development
• CLAUDE.md additions: Rules for always using this MCP, plus knowledge-saving routines

The psm part is the name you specified when registering the server.

/mcp__psm__check_project_setup

Claude will check the state of .history/ and CLAUDE.md, and automatically create or update them if anything is missing.

TIP

Once settings are written to CLAUDE.md, Claude will automatically reference .history/ in subsequent sessions and carry over your project knowledge.

Verify the Connection

After setup, use the project_start prompt to confirm everything is working:

/mcp__psm__project_start

Successful Response

If the connection succeeds, Claude Code calls the MCP server and returns the prompt output:

Starting guide for new project ""

## Development Workflow Overview

A structured workflow for systematic software development.
Guides you step by step from idea to implementation and quality assurance.

## Project Start Steps

### 1. Begin with Requirements Analysis
Use the `requirements_analyzer` prompt:
...

If you see prompt template content like the above, the connection is working.

Error Responses

If the configuration is incorrect, you may see errors like:

• Unknown MCP server: psm: The server named psm was not registered correctly. Check with claude mcp list.
• Failed to get response from MCP server: ...: The MCP server URL may be wrong or the server is not running. Verify the URL provided by your administrator.
• 401 Unauthorized / Bearer token required: The Authorization header is not set or the token is invalid. Re-register the server with the correct token (see Step 3).

Mention-Based Invocation

In addition to slash commands, you can mention the server with @<server-name> and make requests in natural language:

@psm Use the project_start prompt to explain how to begin a new project

If this also works, your setup is complete.

Choose Your Workflow

Running project_start will guide you to the next steps.

Start from Discovery Phase (recommended for new products)

If you want to first clarify actors, value propositions, and user stories:

/mcp__psm__product_discovery

Flow: product_discovery → feature_design → screen_design_brief (optional) → requirements_analyzer

Start from Requirements Definition

If you already know what you want to build:

/mcp__psm__requirements_analyzer

Next Steps

Congratulations! You're now ready to interact with the Prime Style MCP server through Claude Code.
