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 | $0.00241 | $0.00241 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00096 | $0.00096 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00048 | $0.00048 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00024 |
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 1mo 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.
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
notepadpp-mcp — Cursor Rules
Tool awareness
Session Context (Notepad++ MCP)
You have access to an MCP server that automates Notepad++ on Windows:
file_ops, text_ops, tab_ops, session_ops, linting_ops, display_ops,
plugin_ops, status_ops (portmanteau tools with an operation enum).
Before starting work:
- Check the editor is reachable:
status_ops(operation="health_check") - Inspect the active document:
file_ops(operation="info")
At end of work, persist state:
- Save the workspace when asked:
session_ops(operation="save", session_name="...") - Lint before declaring code done:
linting_ops(operation="python", file_path="...")
General
- FastMCP portmanteau pattern: tools use an
operationenum discriminator - Responses are structured dicts with
success,message, and domain fields - Dual transport: stdio (Claude Desktop) + HTTP bridge (10815)
- Fleet standards live in

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.

windsurfrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository sandraschi/notepadpp-mcp (6 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 241 tokens to every session, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to cursorrules, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
