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.

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 | $0.00283 | $0.00283 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00142 | $0.00142 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00057 | $0.00057 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00028 |
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 yesterday.
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
pdf-mcp Cursor Rules
Session Context (pdf-mcp)
pdf-mcp is a PDF intelligence MCP server (FastMCP 3.4.4, FastAPI/Starlette HTTP on
11131, React webapp on 11130). Before starting work: run pdf_status to confirm the
server is alive and pdf_help to see the current tool surface. The 16 tools are
pdf_extract, pdf_manipulate, pdf_annotate, pdf_forms, pdf_convert, pdf_validate,
pdf_rag, pdf_analyze, pdf_redact, pdf_classify, pdf_dedupe, pdf_export, pdf_do,
pdf_help, pdf_status, pdf_shutdown. Each domain tool is a portmanteau with
an operation param - read the docstring for operation names. At end of work: save
any generated PDFs to data/uploads/ and note the job_id in the thread.
Standards
- Check central docs first:
D:\Dev\repos\mcp-central-docs\(standards/, patterns/) - Python: ruff (0.16.x) + pyright, all gates via
just ci - Webapp: React + Vite + Tailwind + Zustand;
bun, not npm - Never edit files in
_upstream/; never commit.envor secrets
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.

cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository sandraschi/pdf-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 283 tokens to every session, about $0.0014 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
