mcp-server-development

mcp-server-development is a cursor rule for Cursor from hhx465453939/mcp-pubmed-server. It costs 0 tokens per session (751 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules and code patterns for building MCP servers, which let AI applications call defined tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing an MCP server and its tool definitions, request handlers, and responses.
Why use it?
It provides consistent ways to start the server, describe tool inputs, handle requests, and return errors.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

Install

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.

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-server-development 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 6d 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.

MCP服务器开发规范

MCP服务器架构模式

1. 服务器初始化

// 标准MCP服务器初始化模式
this.server = new Server(
    {
        name: "pubmed-data-server",
        version: "2.0.0",
    },
    {
        capabilities: {
            tools: {},
        },
    }
);

2. 工具定义模式

// 工具定义必须包含完整schema
{
    name: "tool_name",
    description: "工具描述,说明用途和适用场景",
    inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
            param_name: {
                type: "string",
                description: "参数描述",
                default: "默认值"
            }
        },
        required: ["必需参数"]
    }
}

3. 请求处理模式

// 标准工具调用处理
this.server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => {
    const { name, arguments: args } = request.params;
    
    try {
        switch (name) {
            case "tool_name":
                return await this.handleToolName(args);
            default:
                throw new Error(`Unknown tool: ${name}`);
        }
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(`Error handling ${name}:`, error);
        return {
            content: [{
                type: "text",
                text: `Error: ${error.message}`
            }]
        };
    }
});

响应格式规范

成功响应

return {
    content: [{
        type: "text",
        text: JSON.stringify({
            success: true,
            data: result,
            metadata: {
                count: result.length,
                timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
            }
        }, null, 2)
    }]
};

错误响应

return {
    content: [{
        type: "text", 
        text: JSON.stringify({
            success: false,
            error: error.message,
            code: "ERROR_CODE"
        }, null, 2)
    }]
};

工具设计原则

1. 单一职责

每个工具只负责一个特定功能:

  • pubmed_search - 搜索文献
  • pubmed_get_details - 获取详情
  • pubmed_extract_key_info - 提取关键信息

2. 参数验证

// 参数验证模式
const { query, max_results = 20, days_back = 0 } = args;

if (!query || query.trim().length === 0) {
    throw new Error("查询参数不能为空");
}

if (max_results > 100) {
    throw new Error("最大结果数不能超过100");
}

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.

mcp-server-development is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository hhx465453939/mcp-pubmed-server (6 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 751 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.
