My Rules

An MCP server for all my rules, prompts, etc etc. Allows agents to call rules on demand.

There's no point filling 4 paragraphs of instructions for how to write tests if your current session isn't going to write a test.

Spiritually similar to Cursor's rules.

Usage

claude mcp add --transport http rules https://mcp.cianfrani.dev/mcp

What's It Do?

Allows coding agents to lookup rules on demand within the context of their current task.

> write a test for @calc.py
  ⎿  Read calc.py (26 lines)

⏺ rules:get_rules_for_writing_tests (MCP)(language: "python")
  ⎿  - Before testing a protected method, ask "Can this logic be adequately tested through the public interface?". If yes, don't test the protected method directly.
     If no, continue testing the protected method.
     - Remember to write tests using the Arrange, Act, Assert pattern.

⏺ Write(test_calc.py)

Why?

• It's really annoying trying to carry all these little notes between projects/IDEs.

• I don't want to have to manually invoke rules.

How's It Work?

Clearly-defined tool descriptions allow the agent to fetch rules on demand, only if they appear to be relevant.

What Doesn't work?

• Patterns must be associated with a specific action. For example, "writing tests", "authoring UI", "reviewing a PR".

• The agent ultimately decides if it's going to call the tool. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't.

Tools

1. get_rules_for_writing_tests

   • Use when: writing any type of test,

   • Inputs:

     • language (string)

2. get_rules_for_composing_ui

• Use when: creating new frontend components

Prompts

In Claude Code, invoke prompts as slash commands.

1. pr-review

• Use when: you want feedback on a unit of work

• /pr-review

• See resources/pr-review.md for the full template.

Resources

• Deploying this shit on netlify

Dev

1. Start the server

npm run dev

2. Open MCP inspector

npm run inspect
