A set of Cursor rules for developing a DaVinci Resolve MCP server. Cursor rules are project instructions that tell the coding assistant which commands or files to use for certain requests.

Use it to view the project structure, open or edit the main server file, run setup or development commands, read project documents, and check Resolve environment settings.

It gives repeatable directions for navigating, configuring, running, and checking the DaVinci Resolve server project.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00392	$0.00392
Opus 5.5	$0.00157	$0.00157
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00078	$0.00078
Haiku 4.5	$0.00039	$0.00039

Security

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.

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.
