What is mcp-tailwind-gemini copilot-instructions.md?

A development guide for an MCP server that helps with Tailwind CSS, a toolkit for styling web pages, using Google's Gemini AI. MCP is a standard way for AI assistants to call tools provided by another program.

Adding server tools, validating inputs, generating accessible responsive markup, using Gemini when available, and providing manual fallbacks when it is not.

It sets consistent rules for building, validating and safely handling AI-assisted Tailwind suggestions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00494	$0.00494
Opus 5.5	$0.00198	$0.00198
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00099	$0.00099
Haiku 4.5	$0.00049	$0.00049

Security

Grade C, and why

mcp-tailwind-gemini copilot-instructions.md scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

MCP Tailwind Gemini Server Development

This is an advanced Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Tailwind CSS with Gemini AI integration.

Project Overview

Type: MCP Server
Language: TypeScript
AI Integration: Google Gemini API
Purpose: Intelligent Tailwind CSS design assistance

Development Guidelines

Code Style

Use TypeScript with strict type checking
Follow ES modules syntax
Implement proper error handling
Use descriptive variable and function names
Add JSDoc comments for public functions

MCP Server Architecture

All tools should be in /src/tools/ directory
Each tool should export an async function that returns MCP response format
Use Zod for input validation
Handle both AI-powered and fallback manual implementations

AI Integration

Always check if Gemini API is available using isGeminiAvailable()
Provide meaningful fallbacks when AI is not available
Structure AI prompts for optimal results
Parse AI responses safely with error handling

Tailwind CSS Best Practices

Generate semantic HTML with proper accessibility
Use utility-first approach with Tailwind classes
Implement responsive design patterns
Follow modern CSS practices
Optimize for performance and maintainability

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
