AI-powered development toolkit for FiveM and RedM resource development in Cursor IDE.

Features • Quick Start • MCP Server • Skills • Rules • Roadmap

9 skills  •  6 rules  •  4 MCP tools  •  12,000+ natives  •  20 snippets  •  7 templates

Scaffold complete FiveM/RedM resources, look up native functions, generate manifests, detect frameworks, and write optimized scripts in Lua, JavaScript, and C# -- all from within Cursor's AI chat. Covers the full CFX development lifecycle from project setup to database integration.

Skills teach Cursor how to handle CFX development prompts. Rules enforce FiveM/RedM best practices in your code. The MCP server provides programmatic tools so skills can scaffold resources, look up natives, and generate manifests directly.

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/TMHSDigital/CFX-Developer-Tools.git

2. Open in Cursor

File > Open Folder > CFX-Developer-Tools

3. Install MCP server dependencies

cd mcp-server
pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Start building -- ask the AI agent to scaffold a resource, look up a native, or generate a manifest.

• Resource scaffolding -- Generate complete resources in Lua, JavaScript, or C# with proper fxmanifest.lua
• Framework detection -- Automatically detect and adapt to ESX, QBCore, ox_core, or standalone
• Native function lookup -- Search GTA5/RDR3 native functions by name or description via MCP tools
• Performance-aware coding rules -- Catch common mistakes (Wait(0) in loops, runtime hashing, etc.)
• Snippet library -- 20 copy-paste-ready code patterns across all three runtimes
• NUI development support -- Skills and patterns for building in-game web UIs
• Database integration -- oxmysql query patterns, schema templates, and migration guidance
• Event reference -- Searchable database of common FiveM/RedM events

The companion MCP server provides programmatic tools that Cursor's AI agent can call directly. Configuration lives in .cursor/mcp.json.

Prerequisites: Python 3.10+

cd mcp-server
pip install -r requirements.txt

The server starts automatically when Cursor invokes an MCP tool.

Create a new QBCore resource called "qb-garage" with client and server scripts in Lua

What native function gets a vehicle's current speed?

Generate an fxmanifest.lua for an ESX resource with NUI, targeting FiveM only

What events fire when a player connects to the server?
