CFX Developer Tools

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

9 skills -- 6 rules -- 6 MCP tools -- 12,000+ natives -- 101 events -- 24 snippets -- 11 templates

What is this?

CFX Developer Tools is a plugin for Cursor that teaches its AI assistant how to build FiveM and RedM resources. Once installed, you can ask the AI to:

  • Scaffold a complete resource in Lua, JavaScript, or C#
  • Look up GTA5 or RDR3 native functions by name or description
  • Generate a correct fxmanifest.lua with all the right directives
  • Detect which framework your project uses (ESX, QBCore, Qbox, ox_core, VORP, RSG)
  • Search the FiveM/RedM documentation index
  • Write code that follows FiveM/RedM best practices automatically

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/TMHSDigital/CFX-Developer-Tools.git
cd mcp-server && pip install -r requirements.txt

Open the CFX-Developer-Tools folder in Cursor, then ask the AI to scaffold a resource, look up a native, or generate a manifest.

For a detailed walkthrough, see the Getting Started guide.

Features

  • Resource scaffolding -- Generate complete resources in Lua, JavaScript, or C# with proper fxmanifest.lua
  • Framework detection -- Automatically detect and adapt to ESX, QBCore, Qbox, ox_core, VORP, RSG, or standalone
  • Native function lookup -- Search 12,000+ GTA5/RDR3 native functions by name, hash, or description
  • Event reference -- Searchable database of 101 events across CFX, ESX, QBCore, Qbox, ox_core, VORP, and RSG
  • Documentation search -- Query the FiveM/RedM docs index by keyword or section
  • Performance-aware coding rules -- Catch common mistakes like Wait(0) in loops, runtime hashing, and more
  • Snippet library -- 24 copy-paste-ready code patterns across Lua, JavaScript, and C#
  • NUI development -- Skills and templates for building in-game web UIs with React or Svelte 5
  • Database integration -- oxmysql query patterns, schema templates, and migration guidance

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.
