holoscrape-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

holoscrape-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from joshghal/holoscrape-mcp. It costs 1,453 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for holoscrape-mcp, a standalone server that connects Claude Code to the HoloScrape browser extension. They describe its tools, testing, credentials, and release process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Maintaining the server's tool descriptions and matching implementation, checking changes with the extension's tests, and following its npm release workflow.
Why use it?
They help keep the server and extension aligned, preserve credential boundaries, and prevent unrequested publishing or repository changes.

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

holoscrape-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — holoscrape-mcp (standalone MCP server)

This is the public, npm-published half of HoloScrape. The other half — the Chrome MV3 extension the server talks to — lives in the private repo joshghal/holoscrape at ~/Documents/personal/ideation/holoscrape.

Rule: index.mjs here and holoscrape/mcp/index.mjs in the extension repo must stay byte-identical. Any change to one must be applied to the other in the same task, verified with diff. The extension repo's test suite is what exercises this server — run npm test over there after touching index.mjs here.

Publishing: users get this via npx -y holoscrape-mcp from the npm registry. Local edits reach nobody until commit → push → version bump → npm publish (the user supplies the OTP). Never publish, commit, or push without the user explicitly asking.

Communication

Explain changes in tables and bullet points, not paragraph prose.

Tool descriptions are the product, not documentation

This file is where every tool's description text lives, and those descriptions are the only thing steering the model that calls them. Write them as decision procedures for a model, not as API reference prose:

  • say WHEN to reach for the tool and when NOT to (the "Best for: / Not recommended for:" shape);
  • name the field to read before trusting a result (looksLikeFurniture, distinctness, containerRows) and say what a misleading value looks like;
  • prefer teaching the model to choose over adding a special case to the engine. Capability goes in the code generically; the knowledge of when to use it goes in the description.

Corollary: no site-specific logic in the server or engine. Per-app facts (where an app hides its store, how it paginates) live in the extension's providers.js descriptors as DATA. A tool that branches on a hostname is a bug in this architecture.

Never tune a test to get green

A red test means the logic is wrong — change the logic until the ORIGINAL assertion passes. Never loosen an assertion, skip a case, soften a fixture, or special-case test input in production code. If a test genuinely asserts wrong behaviour, say so and get agreement before editing it; never quietly edit it and report "all green."

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.
