mcp-concepts

mcp-concepts is a cursor rule for Cursor from ekakit/lightfast-mcp. It costs 259 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide to the core ideas and terms of the Model Context Protocol, or MCP. MCP is a standard connection that lets AI clients use software tools and read data sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Understanding or implementing MCP servers, configuring local or HTTP connections, and working with FastMCP-based creative application integrations.
Why use it?
It gives an agent consistent definitions for servers, clients, tools, resources, prompts, and connection methods when working on MCP projects.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-concepts 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 4d 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

MCP Core Concepts

This is lightfast-mcp, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for creative applications like Blender. Remember these key concepts:

MCP Protocol Fundamentals

  • MCP Server: Exposes tools and resources through standardized protocol (this project implements servers)
  • MCP Client: Connects to servers to use tools (AI models use clients)
  • Transport Types: stdio (local subprocess) or sse (HTTP Server-Sent Events)
  • Tools: Functions that can be called by AI models with @mcp.tool() decorator
  • Resources: Data sources that can be read by AI models with @mcp.resource() decorator
  • Prompts: Reusable prompt templates with parameters

Project Context

  • We implement MCP servers for creative applications
  • FastMCP library provides the @mcp.tool() and @mcp.resource() decorators
  • All servers inherit from BaseServer and use ServerConfig
  • Support both stdio and streamable-http transports
  • Configuration-driven design using YAML/JSON config files

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.
