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 | $0.02356 | $0.02356 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00942 | $0.00942 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00471 | $0.00471 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00236 | $0.00236 |
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 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.
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.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: JSON-RPC Warning
If you find yourself implementing JSON-RPC directly (e.g., writing JSON messages, handling protocol-level details, or dealing with stdio), STOP! You are going in the wrong direction. The MCP framework handles all protocol details. Your job is to:
- Implement the actual Minecraft/Mineflayer functionality
- Use the provided bot methods and APIs
- Let the framework handle all communication
Never:
- Write JSON-RPC messages directly
- Handle stdio yourself
- Implement protocol-level error codes
- Create custom notification systems
Overview
This project uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bridge interactions between a Minecraft bot (powered by Mineflayer) and an LLM-based client.
The essential flow is:
- The server starts up ("MinecraftServer") and connects to a Minecraft server automatically (via the Mineflayer bot).
- The MCP server is exposed through standard JSON-RPC over stdio.
- MCP "tools" correspond to actionable commands in Minecraft (e.g., "dig_area", "navigate_to", etc.).
- MCP "resources" correspond to read-only data from Minecraft (e.g., "minecraft://inventory").
When an MCP client issues requests, the server routes these to either:
• The "toolHandler" (for effectful actions such as "dig_block")
• The "resourceHandler" (for returning game state like position, health, etc.)
MCP Types and Imports
When working with MCP types:
- Import types from the correct SDK paths:
- Transport: "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/shared/transport.js"
- JSONRPCMessage and other core types: "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js"
- Always check for optional fields using type guards (e.g., 'id' in message)
- Follow existing implementations in example servers when unsure
- Never modify working type imports - MCP has specific paths that must be used
Progress Callbacks
For long-running operations like navigation and digging:
- Use progress callbacks to report status to MCP clients
- Include a progressToken in _meta for tracking
- Send notifications via "tool/progress" with:
- token: unique identifier
- progress: 0-100 percentage
- status: "in_progress" or "complete"
- message: human-readable progress
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.

cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository gerred/mcpmc (40 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,356 tokens to every session, about $0.0094 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
