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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.04049 | $0.04049 |
| Opus 5 | $0.02024 | $0.02024 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00810 | $0.00810 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00405 | $0.00405 |
Grade A, and why
threads-mcp-crawler 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 10d 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.

Threads Scraper MCP - Developer Guide
Internal documentation for developers working on threads_scraper_mcp.
Architecture Overview
Design Philosophy
- Robustness over cleverness: Dual parsing (JSON + HTML) ensures resilience
- Centralized selectors: All CSS selectors in one
ThreadsSelectorsclass - Graceful degradation: Return partial data rather than failing completely
- Ethical scraping: Built-in throttling and caching, no circumvention attempts
- Proven patterns: Architecture mirrors successful
substack_mcpimplementation
Tech Stack
- Python 3.9+: Modern type hints (
|union,Optional, generics) - Pydantic v2: Type-safe data validation
- Playwright: Headless Chrome browser automation (bypasses login wall)
- BeautifulSoup + lxml: HTML parsing (fallback)
- VADER: Sentiment analysis for social media
- MCP SDK: Model Context Protocol for AI integration
- cachetools: Thread-safe TTL caching
Module Responsibilities
settings.py
- Environment-based configuration via
@dataclass RuntimeSettings.from_env()factory pattern- Global
SETTINGSinstance - Env vars:
THREADS_THROTTLE,THREADS_CACHE_TTL,THREADS_SESSION_COOKIE, etc.
cache.py
- Copied verbatim from substack_mcp (proven implementation)
- Thread-safe
TTLCachewithRLock @cacheddecorator for function memoizationclear_cache(prefix)for selective invalidation- 256-item limit, 10-minute TTL default
models.py
- Pydantic v2 models for type safety
- Core models:
Profile,Thread,Reply,EngagementMetrics - Analytics models:
SentimentBreakdown,KeywordScore,ProfileAnalytics - All fields use

parsers.py
- CRITICAL FILE: Most likely to need updates when Threads changes HTML

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.

threads-mcp-crawler CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository dkyazzentwatwa/threads-mcp-crawler (9 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 4,049 tokens to every session, about $0.0202 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
