cardano-mcp

cardano-mcp is a cursor rule for Cursor from Jimmyh-world/Cardano_MCP. It costs 3,030 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project-specific rules for a TypeScript MCP server that connects coding tools to Cardano blockchain documentation, resources, and tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide documentation retrieval, resource integration, relationship mapping, and context for Cardano dApp, smart-contract, auditing, and UTXO work.
Why use it?
They keep development focused on connecting and explaining existing Cardano resources rather than rebuilding blockchain functions.

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

cardano-mcp 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 11d 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 Server Project-Specific Development Rules

These rules complement our main development collaboration rules, focusing specifically on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server project with TypeScript. This project serves as a specialized RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) gateway to existing Cardano resources, documentation, and tools to assist with dApp development, smart contract writing/auditing, and UTXO management.

Project Purpose and Scope

The MCP server is a gateway to existing Cardano resources, not a reimplementation of blockchain functionality.

  • Resource Integration:

    • Connect to existing Cardano resources and documentation
      • Good Example: Creating APIs that fetch and contextualize documentation from Cardano repositories
      • Bad Example: Attempting to reimplement Cardano functionality from scratch
    • Map relationships between Cardano tools and resources
      • Good Example: Building a knowledge graph that connects related documentation, tools, and code examples
      • Bad Example: Storing isolated, disconnected resources without context
    • Prioritize discoverability and context
      • Good Example: Implementing metadata and tagging systems for efficient resource discovery
      • Bad Example: Dumping raw documentation without organization or search capabilities
  • RAG Implementation:

    • Design effective retrieval mechanisms for Cardano resources
      • Good Example: Using semantic search to find relevant documentation based on user queries
      • Bad Example: Only supporting exact keyword matching
    • Implement context-aware generation
      • Good Example: Synthesizing information from multiple sources to answer complex queries
      • Bad Example: Returning only verbatim passages without integration
    • Track resource provenance and citations
      • Good Example: Always attributing information to its original source with links
      • Bad Example: Presenting information without references to its origin

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.
