SchematronMCP: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

SchematronMCP CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from AutumnsGrove/SchematronMCP. It costs 1,638 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for SchematronMCP, a local server that turns messy HTML web pages into structured JSON matching a chosen schema. It uses a language model on Apple Silicon and also provides a browser-based testing interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extracting structured information from HTML, validating results against schemas, running the local MCP server, and manually testing extraction through the web interface.
Why use it?
They explain the project's purpose and architecture so coding work follows the existing design. Local processing avoids sending page data to external APIs.

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

SchematronMCP 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 9d 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.

Project Purpose

SchematronMCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides HTML-to-JSON extraction using the Schematron-3B model running locally via MLX. It enables AI agents to convert messy HTML into clean, structured JSON conforming to custom schemas.

Tech Stack

  • Language: Python 3.10+
  • Framework: Model Context Protocol (MCP) by Anthropic
  • Key Libraries:
    • mlx-lm (Apple Silicon inference)
    • lxml (HTML parsing/cleaning)
    • pydantic (schema validation)
    • gradio (web UI for testing)
  • Package Manager: uv (Python package manager)

Architecture Notes

  • MCP Server Architecture: Stdio-based server exposing tools via MCP protocol
  • Local Inference: Runs Schematron-3B quantized model via MLX on Apple Silicon
  • Dual Interface: MCP tools for Claude integration + Gradio web UI for manual testing
  • No API Keys Required: Fully local processing, no external API calls
  • Key Files:
    • schematron_mcp/server.py - Main MCP server implementation
    • schematron_mcp/inference/lm_studio.py - LM Studio inference backend
    • schematron_mcp/inference/mlx.py - MLX inference backend
    • examples/gradio_app.py - Web UI for testing
    • schematron_mcp/cleaning/html_cleaner.py - HTML preprocessing

Existing Documentation

  • README.md - Main project documentation and setup
  • docs/quickstart.md - Quick setup and usage guide
  • CONTRIBUTING.md - Contribution guidelines
  • docs/gradio-ui.md - Gradio web UI documentation
  • TODOS.md - Project task tracking
  • examples/README.md - Example usage and schemas

Essential Instructions (Always Follow)

Core Behavior

  • Do what has been asked; nothing more, nothing less
  • NEVER create files unless absolutely necessary for achieving your goal
  • ALWAYS prefer editing existing files to creating new ones
  • NEVER proactively create documentation files (*.md) or README files unless explicitly requested

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.
