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

malt-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 1mo 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 — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Philosophy

  • Scraping is fragile — keep selectors isolated in scraping/, never in tools/
  • One browser tab at a time — tool calls are serialized, never concurrent
  • Headed mode only — Cloudflare blocks headless, don't try to work around it
  • Session persistence — browser profile in ~/.malt-mcp/ must survive restarts

What this project does

MCP server that lets AI assistants manage a Malt.fr freelance account via browser automation (Patchright). No API — everything is scraped from the real site.

Stack

  • Patchright (not Playwright) — anti-detection fork, required for Malt/Cloudflare
  • FastMCP v3 with lifespan for browser lifecycle management
  • uv run patchright install chromium required before first use (bootstrap.py auto-runs this)
  • Managed Chromium stored in ~/.malt-mcp/patchright-browsers/ — never uses system Chrome

Commands

  • uv run malt-mcp --login — manual browser login (Google OAuth broken, use email/password only)
  • uv run mcp dev malt_mcp_server/server.py — MCP Inspector for local testing
  • uv run ty check — type checker (runs in pre-commit, not mypy)

Architecture decisions

  • tools/ are thin MCP wrappers: auth check → navigate → delegate to scraping/
  • scraping/ contains all DOM selectors and page interaction logic
  • Tools register via register_*_tools(mcp) pattern in server.py to avoid circular imports
  • constants.py holds all Malt URLs and timeouts — never hardcode URLs elsewhere
  • core/browser.py manages Patchright lifecycle — BrowserManager is injected via FastMCP lifespan context
  • Navigation uses wait_until="commit" — networkidle hangs because Malt SPA never stops fetching

Patterns to follow

  • Every new tool: create scraping/<name>.py + tools/<name>.py, register in server.py
  • Scroll-to-load: Malt lazy-loads lists — scroll the conversation list to get all items before scraping
  • Auth is checked per-tool call via require_auth() — never assume session is valid
  • Raise ToolError from tool layer, domain exceptions (MaltAuthError, etc.) from scraping/core

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.
