doomscroll-mcp CLAUDE.md

doomscroll-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Sho0pi/doomscroll-mcp. It costs 1,423 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Development instructions for an unfinished MCP server that would let AI agents browse Instagram Reels. MCP is a standard way for an agent to use external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding development of login, session-status, logout, and Reel-browsing functions using Python, browser automation, and randomized browsing behavior.
Why use it?
They document the planned design and current status, making clear that the repository has no implementation yet.

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

doomscroll-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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Status

Pre-implementation. Repo currently holds only README.md (design spec) and LICENSE. No source code, tests, or build config exist yet. The README is the authoritative design — implement against it.

What This Is

An MCP server exposing Instagram Reels browsing to AI agents. The MCP collects and returns structured reel data only; it performs no analysis, ranking, or recommendation. Those are the agent's job.

Pipeline: AI Agent → DoomScroll MCP → Playwright → Instagram Web

Stack

  • Python, managed with uv (dependency install + execution)
  • MCP (server framework)
  • Playwright (browser automation against Instagram web)

Intended Tool Surface (from README)

  • login(), login_status(), logout() — auth lifecycle
  • scroll_reels(limit=50, search=None, hashtag=None) — drives default feed, keyword search, or hashtag page; returns list of reel dicts (url, creator, caption, likes, comments, date_posted, audio, etc.)

Humanization

To reduce bot-detection risk, browsing behavior must be randomized via a HumanizeConfig.

Passive (core, always on, no account side effects):

  • randomized delay between scrolls (range, not fixed)
  • variable scroll distance/speed, occasional scroll-up
  • random "watch" pause per reel before advancing
  • jittered mouse movement, viewport randomization
  • per-session reel cap + cooldown before next session

Active (opt-in, OFF by default — mutates the user's account):

  • liking reels. This is real engagement: visible to creators, pollutes the user's algorithm, and is a primary IG spam-detection trigger. Gate behind an explicit flag, keep probability low, rate-limit hard, and never perform silently.
class HumanizeConfig:
    scroll_delay_range: tuple = (2.0, 6.0)     # seconds
    watch_duration_range: tuple = (1.0, 5.0)
    scroll_jitter: bool = True
    session_max_reels: int = 200
    cooldown_after_session: float = 0
    # active — opt-in, risky
    enable_likes: bool = False
    like_probability: float = 0.0              # 0..1

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.
