This directory contains configuration and documentation for integrating the Cursor Rules MCP server via gitmcp.io.

The .cursor/mcp.json file defines custom MCP servers. We added:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Cursor Rules": {
      "url": "https://gitmcp.io/mgd1984/cursor-rules"
    }
  }
}

This tells the Cursor chat integration to fetch rules from the Cursor Rules server hosted on gitmcp.io.

To rebuild or refresh the ruleset locally, run the following commands in your project root:

# Clone the rules repository
git clone --depth=1 https://gitmcp.io/mgd1984/cursor-rules.git temp

# Copy the rules into the .cursor folder
cp -R temp/.cursor/rules .cursor/rules

# Clean up the temporary clone
rm -rf temp

Alternatively, if you have a CLI available, you can use:

cursor mcp fetch --server "Cursor Rules"

Ensure to commit any updated rules into your repository to keep them in sync.

This repository contains a template for Cursor Rules that can be used to provide consistent guidance when developing Next.js applications with TypeScript. The rules cover architecture, state management, error handling, styling, and more.

1. Clone this repository
2. Copy the .cursor directory to your Next.js project
3. Customize the rules to fit your specific project needs

• Architecture: Project structure, tech stack, and file organization
• Memory/State: Data fetching and state management patterns
• Error Handling: Error handling strategies
• Performance: Optimization techniques
• Workflow: Development process preferences
• Preferences: Code style, naming conventions, and Tailwind usage

To activate a rule in Cursor chat:

1. Reference it directly: @architecture/001-project-overview
2. Or use the rule picker by typing @ and selecting from the list
