Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00527 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00264 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00105 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
server-development-workflow 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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Server Development Workflow
When editing MCP server files, follow this workflow:
Immediate Actions After Code Changes
- Run Fast Tests: Execute
nox -s test_fastto get immediate feedback - Lint Check: Run
uv run task lintto catch style issues - Format Code: Run
uv run task formatto ensure consistent formatting
After Adding/Modifying Tools
- Test the Tool: Create a unit test for the new/modified tool
- Validate Tool Description: Ensure tool has clear docstring for AI consumption
- Test Server Startup: Run
uv run lightfast-{server}-serverto verify server starts - Test Tool Integration: Use
uv run lightfast-mcp-orchestrator aito test the tool interactively
Server File Validation Checklist
When editing server implementation files:
- Tool functions use
@mcp.tool()decorator - Tool functions have proper type hints
- Tool functions have descriptive docstrings
- Error handling is implemented for all tools
- Input validation is present for all parameters
- Server inherits from
BaseServer - Configuration follows
ServerConfigpattern
Automatic Commands to Run
# After any server file edit
uv run task lint && uv run task format
nox -s test_fast
# After adding new tools
uv run pytest tests/unit/test_*server*.py -v
uv run lightfast-mock-server & # Test server startup
sleep 2 && pkill -f lightfast-mock-server
# Before committing
nox -s test-3.13 # Full test suite for current Python version
Integration Testing Steps
- Start Test Server:
uv run lightfast-{server}-server - Verify MCP Tools: Check tools appear in Cursor's available tools
- Test Tool Execution: Try calling tools through Cursor chat
- Check Error Handling: Test invalid inputs to ensure graceful failures
Performance Considerations
- Monitor server startup time - should be under 5 seconds
- Test tool response time - most tools should respond under 2 seconds
- Check memory usage during tool execution
- Verify proper cleanup after tool execution
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.

server-development-workflow is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository ekakit/lightfast-mcp (2 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 527 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
