Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is supadata-ai/mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp configures →

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

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.

Project Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Supadata web scraping and video transcript integration. The project provides nine main tools: supadata_transcript, supadata_check_transcript_status, supadata_scrape, supadata_map, supadata_crawl, supadata_check_crawl_status, supadata_metadata, supadata_extract, and supadata_check_extract_status for video transcription, web scraping, URL discovery, batch crawling, media metadata retrieval, and AI-powered structured data extraction.

Key Commands

Development Commands

  • npm run build - Compile TypeScript to JavaScript and make executable
  • npm run test - Run Jest tests with ESM support
  • npm run lint - Run ESLint on TypeScript files
  • npm run lint:fix - Run ESLint with auto-fix
  • npm run format - Format code with Prettier
  • npm run start - Start the compiled server

Single Test Execution

  • npm run test -- --testNamePattern="should handle scrape request" - Run specific test
  • npm run test -- src/index.test.ts - Run specific test file

Architecture

MCP Server Structure

The server is built using the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and runs on stdio transport. The main server logic is in src/index.ts with the following key components:

  • Server Creation: createServer() function creates an McpServer instance
  • Tool Registration: Nine tools are registered with input validation using Zod schemas
  • Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with retry logic and exponential backoff
  • Configuration: Environment-based configuration with defaults

API Integration

The server integrates with Supadata's JavaScript SDK (@supadata/js) and provides:

  • Video Transcription: Extract transcripts from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and file URLs
  • Web Scraping: Single page content extraction to Markdown
  • URL Mapping: Website URL discovery and indexing
  • Crawling: Asynchronous batch crawling of multiple pages
  • Media Metadata: Retrieve metadata from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter URLs
  • Structured Extraction: AI-powered extraction of structured data from video content
  • Status Checking: Monitor crawl, transcript, and extract job progress and retrieve results

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.
