What is it for?

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is andyliszewski/webcrawl-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on webcrawl-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything webcrawl-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

webcrawl-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Project Instructions

Web Scraping Tool Preferences

When fetching web content, prefer the webcrawl MCP tools over Firecrawl:

Task Use Fallback
Single page webcrawl_scrape mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_scrape
Search webcrawl_search mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_search
Discover URLs webcrawl_map mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_map
Multi-page crawl webcrawl_crawl mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_crawl

When to fall back to Firecrawl:

  • webcrawl_scrape returns empty or very short content (JS-heavy site)
  • Site requires JavaScript rendering
  • webcrawl tool fails or times out

Why webcrawl first:

  • Free (no API costs)
  • Faster for static content
  • No rate limits
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
