mcp

mcp is a cursor rule for Cursor from kerlos/elysia-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (10,332 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Reference rules showing how to handle connection and message failures in TypeScript and Python transport code. Transport code is the part of a program that opens a connection and sends data between systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when implementing or reviewing transport methods for an MCP server or other software that communicates over streams.
Why use it?
They help programs report communication errors clearly, pass failures to the right handler, and clean up resources when a connection or send operation fails.

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 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.

TITLE: Implement Transport Error Handling in TypeScript and Python DESCRIPTION: This code snippet illustrates how to incorporate comprehensive error handling within transport implementations. It demonstrates catching exceptions during connection establishment and message transmission, logging errors, and ensuring proper resource cleanup using try-catch blocks and context managers. SOURCE: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/blob/main/docs/docs/concepts/transports.mdx#_snippet_4

LANGUAGE: TypeScript CODE:

class ExampleTransport implements Transport {
  async start() {
    try {
      // Connection logic
    } catch (error) {
      this.onerror?.(new Error(`Failed to connect: ${error}`));
      throw error;
    }
  }

  async send(message: JSONRPCMessage) {
    try {
      // Sending logic
    } catch (error) {
      this.onerror?.(new Error(`Failed to send message: ${error}`));
      throw error;
    }
  }
}

LANGUAGE: Python CODE:

@contextmanager
async def example_transport(scope: Scope, receive: Receive, send: Send):
    try:
        # Create streams for bidirectional communication
        read_stream_writer, read_stream = anyio.create_memory_object_stream(0)
        write_stream, write_stream_reader = anyio.create_memory_object_stream(0)

        async def message_handler():
            try:
                async with read_stream_writer:
                    # Message handling logic

TITLE: Implement Tool Execution Handler with Weather API Tools (Kotlin) DESCRIPTION: This snippet demonstrates how to set up an HTTP client using Ktor for making requests to the weather.gov API and how to register two tools (get_alerts and get_forecast) with an MCP server. The get_alerts tool fetches weather alerts by state, validating the 'state' parameter. The get_forecast tool retrieves weather forecasts by latitude and longitude, validating both parameters. Both tools handle input validation and return CallToolResult with TextContent. SOURCE: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/blob/main/docs/quickstart/server.mdx#_snippet_33

LANGUAGE: kotlin CODE:

            append("User-Agent", "WeatherApiClient/1.0")
        }
        contentType(ContentType.Application.Json)
    }
    // Install content negotiation plugin for JSON serialization/deserialization
    install(ContentNegotiation) { json(Json { ignoreUnknownKeys = true }) }
}

// Register a tool to fetch weather alerts by state
server.addTool(

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 is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository kerlos/elysia-mcp (49 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 10,332 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 2026-08-30.
