# Introduction to Cursor Rules and MCP Servers

Cursor rules are custom instructions that guide AI agents in tools like Cursor, helping developers write better code faster. On AgentAtlas, we curate the best rules for popular stacks like Next.js, React, and more.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers extend AI capabilities by providing tools and resources, such as browser automation or API integrations.

Why Use Them?

**Efficiency**: Rules reduce boilerplate and errors.
**Customization**: Tailor AI to your project needs.
**Community-Driven**: Share and discover on AgentAtlas.
