roslyn-mcp-paths

roslyn-mcp-paths is a cursor rule for Cursor from VuDZ/RoslynMcpServer. It costs 320 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for resolving file paths and searching source code in a Roslyn MCP server. It makes relative paths use the loaded .NET workspace, such as a solution or project folder, rather than assuming the process's current folder is correct.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing or reviewing workspace loading, file-based tools, and C# source searches.
Why use it?
It prevents searches from scanning a user's home directory or opening the wrong file when the agent starts in an unexpected folder. It also limits searches and reports progress to avoid unbounded scans.

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

roslyn-mcp-paths 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 2d 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

Relative filePath

Path.GetFullPath alone resolves against process CWD (often the user profile under Cursor). Always use SolutionManager.ResolvePathAgainstWorkspace:

  • Absolute → normalize and return
  • Relative → combine with directory of loaded .sln/.csproj (_loadedPath)
  • No workspace → fallback Path.GetFullPath (CWD)

Wire all filePath-based tools through this helper. Tests: SolutionManagerPathResolutionTests.

search_code

  • Default root: GetLoadedWorkspaceDirectory() when directoryPath omitted — never rely on CWD alone (hangs scanning user profile).
  • Default extensions: .cs only; override via includeExtensions (e.g. .cs,.csproj,.json or * for all).
  • Support maxScanSeconds + progress logging to avoid unbounded scans.

Env

  • ROSLYN_MCP_WORKSPACE — repo root (folder with global.json); sets process cwd at startup for tools that still use CWD.
  • Do not set CurrentDirectory to AppContext.BaseDirectory (publish output) — breaks search/scratchpad.

Agent-facing docs

Relative paths in MCP calls are OK after load_workspace. Prefer absolute when unsure. Never hardcode machine-specific paths in AGENTS.md / README samples.

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.
