.windsurfrules

windsurfrules is a cursor rule for Windsurf from sandraschi/email-mcp. It costs 128 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of cursorrules, MIT.

A set of rules for an email connection that can send, receive, search, and manage messages through common mail services and local test servers. It also describes checking inbox activity and handling messages at the end of a task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect recent mail, search or manage messages, send requested emails, and mark relevant messages as read or starred.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a consistent process for checking and completing email work instead of leaving messages or status updates unhandled.

Cursor rule for Windsurf

Written for Windsurf: a Windsurf rule.

This is sandraschi/email-mcp's own configuration. It tells Windsurf how to work on email-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything email-mcp configures →

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

windsurfrules 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 today.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to cursorrules — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Session Context (Email MCP)

You have access to an email server with 32+ tools for sending, receiving, searching, and managing email across SMTP/IMAP, SendGrid, Mailgun, Resend, and local test servers.

Before starting work:

  1. Check connected services: list_services() or email_status()
  2. Check recent inbox activity: check_inbox(service="default", unread_only=True, limit=10)

At end of work:

  • Send any drafted emails the user requested
  • Mark relevant messages as read/starred
  • Use mailing_list_latest() to stay current on subscribed newsletters

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.
