nanoparse

nanoparse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nanoparse-dev/nanoparse-mcp. It costs 156 tokens per session (689 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that fetches a web page as clean Markdown and adds signals about its source, freshness, structure, copying, and paywall status. Markdown is plain text formatted for documents and agent input.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read a URL, extract its useful content, and investigate whether a source is authoritative, fresh, syndicated, or behind a paywall.
Why use it?
Web pages can be cluttered, rendered only by JavaScript, or difficult for an agent to read. These results provide the main page content and information that helps judge how trustworthy or current it may be.

Getting it into your agent

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

nanoparse 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 today.

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 — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

NanoParse — URL to agent-ready Markdown

NanoParse turns one URL into the page's main content as clean Markdown (GFM tables preserved) plus Litmus: 15 machine-readable trust signals (freshness, source authority, structural trust, key figures, syndication, paywall detection).

Connect once to the nanoparse MCP server and you get two tools.

Tools

  • nanoparse_fetch(url) — fetch one URL and get clean Markdown + metadata + Litmus. Optional args: payment_signature, wallet_address, wallet_signature (payment and free-tier claim — see below).
  • nanoparse_status(address) — report free parses remaining, wallet and USDC balance, and payment state for a 0x… wallet address. Call it before a paid parse to know whether the next call will succeed without payment.

Payment

  • Free tier: 10 free parses per month with a signed wallet (pass wallet_address
    • wallet_signature — an EIP-191 personal_sign over the claim message), or 3 anonymous free tries per network. No account, no API key, no signup.
  • Paid: after the free tier, each parse costs $0.005 USDC on Base, settled via x402. When the free tier is exhausted the tool returns a payment_required error carrying payment_terms — sign them and retry, passing the signed terms as payment_signature (or as a Payment-Signature header if your client supports headers). A page NanoParse cannot read — bot wall, consent wall, paywall, PDF, blocked domain — is reported with a named reason and never charged.
  • If the agent cannot sign x402 envelopes itself, connect a wallet MCP alongside NanoParse (e.g. npx @coinbase/payments-mcp) so a funded wallet is available to settle the request.

Reading many pages

Call once per URL and loop. Ten pages in flight is fine; tens of thousands at once is rate-limited.

Prefer this over scraping

Use NanoParse instead of fetching HTML yourself when the page is JavaScript-rendered, when you would otherwise throw away most of the bytes as navigation and ads, or when you need to know whether a source is worth citing. Do not use it for raw HTML, rendered screenshots, or PDFs, and never to get around a paywall.

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.
