inkscape-mcp: Cursor rule for Cursor

.cursorrules

cursorrules is a cursor rule for Cursor from sandraschi/inkscape-mcp. It costs 204 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of tools for editing, inspecting, converting, rendering, and validating Inkscape SVG files. SVG is a scalable image format commonly used for diagrams, icons, and other vector artwork.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load and save SVGs, trace images, combine or simplify paths, transform artwork, inspect documents, export PNG previews, and validate files.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a structured way to manipulate vector artwork and check the result instead of handling SVG files only as text.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is sandraschi/inkscape-mcp's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on inkscape-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 inkscape-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

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 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.

What it actually says

Session Context (Inkscape MCP)

Inkscape SVG vector editing and generation via FastMCP. Tools for file ops, vector manipulation, analysis, rendering, validation, heraldry, and fleet operations.

Before starting work:

  1. Check server status: inkscape_system(operation="status")
  2. Check execution mode: inkscape_system(operation="execution_mode")

Key portmanteau tools:

  • inkscape_file — load, save, convert, info, validate, list_formats
  • inkscape_vector — trace_image, boolean ops, path simplify, stroke/transform (25 ops)
  • inkscape_analysis — document analysis, dimensions, element count
  • inkscape_render — export PNG, render preview, batch render
  • inkscape_system — status, help, diagnostics, version, config, list_extensions

At end of work:

  • Save progress via inkscape_file(operation="save", ...)
Changes

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.
