A Cursor configuration for connecting to a to-do management server through the Model Context Protocol, a standard that lets AI tools call external functions and read data.

Use it to create, list, update, delete, and summarize to-dos, and to generate daily reports or prioritization suggestions.

It gives Cursor a defined connection and lists the available to-do operations. This avoids manually managing tasks outside the coding workspace.

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	$0.00382	$0.00382
Opus 5.5	$0.00153	$0.00153
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00076	$0.00076
Haiku 4.5	$0.00038	$0.00038

Measured 1mo ago against content hash ec8d628f1bea, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

cursorrules scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 1mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Cursor MCP Configuration for Todo Server

This project includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing todos.

MCP Server Configuration

Add this configuration to your Cursor settings to enable the todo MCP server:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "todo-manager": {
        "command": "node",
        "args": [
          "/Users/acateland/projects/todo-mcp-server/dist/index.js"
        ],
        "env": {},
        "cwd": "/Users/acateland/projects/todo-mcp-server"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available MCP Features

Tools (AI can execute):

create_todo - Create new todos with priority and tags
list_todos - List todos with filtering by status, priority, and tags
update_todo - Update any todo field including completion status
delete_todo - Remove todos by ID
todo_stats - Get comprehensive statistics about your todos

Resources (AI can read):

todos://json - All todos as JSON data
todos://summary - Quick summary with counts and metrics

Prompts (AI templates):

daily_report - Generate a professional daily todo report
prioritize_tasks - Get AI assistance with task prioritization

Usage Examples

Once the MCP server is configured, you can interact with it through Cursor's AI:

"Create a todo to review the quarterly report with high priority"
"Show me all high priority pending todos"
"Generate a daily report for today"
"Help me prioritize my current tasks"

Development Commands

npm run build - Build the TypeScript code
npm run dev - Run in development mode
npm test - Test with MCP Inspector

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.
