generate_cursor_rules

Create .cursorrules files for Cursor AI by analyzing project stacks including programming languages, frameworks, and databases to configure AI coding assistance.

Instructions

Generates a .cursorrules file for Cursor AI based on the project stack.

Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the core logic of the 'generate_cursor_rules' tool, generating a .cursorrules file content based on project name, languages, frameworks, and databases.
    export function generateCursorRulesHandler(args: any) { const { projectName, languages, frameworks = [], databases = [] } = args; const content = `# ${projectName} - Cursor Rules ## Project Overview This is a ${languages.join("/")} project${frameworks.length ? ` using ${frameworks.join(", ")}` : ""}. ## Code Style - Follow ${languages[0]} best practices and style guides - Use consistent naming conventions - Write self-documenting code with clear variable names - Keep functions small and focused (< 50 lines) ## Architecture - Separate concerns clearly (MVC, Clean Architecture, etc.) - Use dependency injection where applicable - Keep business logic separate from I/O ## Testing - Write unit tests for all business logic - Use integration tests for API endpoints - Aim for > 80% code coverage ## Error Handling - Use structured error handling - Log errors with appropriate context - Return meaningful error messages to users ## Security - Never commit secrets or API keys - Validate all user input - Use parameterized queries for databases ${databases.length ? `\n## Database (${databases.join(", ")})\n- Use connection pooling\n- Handle transactions properly\n- Avoid N+1 queries` : ""} ## Documentation - Document all public APIs - Keep README up to date - Use inline comments for complex logic only `; return { content: [{ type: "text", text: content }] }; }
  • Zod-based input schema definition for the 'generate_cursor_rules' tool, specifying parameters like projectName, languages, frameworks, and databases.
    export const generateCursorRulesSchema = { name: "generate_cursor_rules", description: "Generates a .cursorrules file for Cursor AI based on the project stack.", inputSchema: z.object({ projectName: z.string().describe("Name of the project"), languages: z.array(z.string()).describe("Programming languages used (e.g., ['typescript', 'python'])"), frameworks: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe("Frameworks used (e.g., ['react', 'fastapi'])"), databases: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe("Databases used (e.g., ['postgresql', 'redis'])") }) };
