server-extension

A set of development rules for adding MCP servers to the lightfast-mcp project. MCP servers connect coding agents to tools or services.

In plain words
What is it for?
For creating server folders, entry points, package scripts and configuration, while relying on automatic discovery for correctly structured servers.
Why use it?
It gives contributors a consistent structure and setup process for new servers.

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.

Clone the repo

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 15 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 477 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

server-extension 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 2d 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.

Server Extension Guide

Adding New MCP Servers

1. Create Server Directory Structure

src/lightfast_mcp/servers/{app}/
├── __init__.py
├── server.py          # Main server implementation
├── tools.py           # Tool implementations
└── resources.py       # Resource implementations (optional)

2. Create Entry Point Script

Create src/lightfast_mcp/servers/{app}_mcp_server.py:

@src/lightfast_mcp/servers/mock_server.py

Follow this template pattern, replacing mock with your application name.

3. Add to pyproject.toml

Add new script entry:

[project.scripts]
lightfast-{app}-server = "lightfast_mcp.servers.{app}_mcp_server:main"

4. Server Auto-Discovery

New servers placed in src/lightfast_mcp/servers/{app}/ following the server.py pattern (containing a class that inherits from BaseServer and defines SERVER_TYPE) are automatically discovered by the ServerRegistry located in src/tools/orchestration/server_registry.py. No manual changes to the registry code are typically needed.

5. Add Configuration Support

Update sample configurations to include the new server type

Server Implementation Pattern

from ..core.base_server import BaseServer
from fastmcp import mcp

class {App}MCPServer(BaseServer):
    """MCP server for {App} integration."""
    
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        self.setup_{app}_connection()
    
    @mcp.tool()
    async def {app}_tool(self, param: str) -> str:
        """Tool description for AI."""
        # Implementation
        return "result"

Testing New Servers

  1. Create unit tests in tests/unit/test_{app}_server.py
  2. Add integration tests in tests/integration/test_{app}_integration.py
  3. Include E2E tests if the application supports automation
  4. Test both stdio and HTTP transports

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-extension is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository ekakit/lightfast-mcp (2 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 477 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
