novada-proxy

novada-proxy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NovadaLabs/Novada-mcp. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,334 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to choosing and configuring Novada proxy services, which route web requests through different kinds of internet addresses.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for geo-targeted HTTP requests, selecting among residential, ISP, mobile, datacenter, static, and dedicated proxies, and deciding when to escalate to another proxy type.
Why use it?
It helps avoid choosing a proxy that cannot meet the location, identity, or request requirements, and explains when a proxy is unnecessary.

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

novada-proxy scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

novada-proxy — Proxy Type Selection Guide

novada_proxy returns a masked configuration for your own HTTP client (curl, axios, requests, etc.). It does NOT perform any requests itself.

Critical rule: novada_extract, novada_crawl, novada_scrape, and novada_research handle proxy routing internally. Call a proxy tool only when YOU need to make the HTTP request — not when a Novada extraction tool does it for you.


The 6 proxy types

Type Call Best for Key constraint
residential novada_proxy + type="residential" Anti-bot pages, geo-restricted content Strongest bypass; city requires country
isp novada_proxy + type="isp" Social media, ecommerce, long sessions country param accepted but silently ignored (no country targeting on ISP zone)
mobile novada_proxy + type="mobile" Mobile-targeted APIs and app content Pair with a mobile User-Agent for full simulation
datacenter novada_proxy + type="datacenter" High-volume, non-protected targets Fastest and cheapest; blocked by most anti-bot
static novada_proxy + type="static" Account-bound workflows, same IP every call Requires both country AND session_id; uses per-IP credentials from NOVADA_STATIC_PROXY_LIST
dedicated novada_proxy + type="dedicated" Clean exclusive IP, no contamination risk Requires session_id; uses per-IP credentials from NOVADA_DEDICATED_PROXY_LIST

Type details

residential

100M+ real home ISP IPs. Strongest anti-bot bypass. Supports country + city geo-targeting.

  • city requires country to be set first
  • Supports session_id for sticky IP across a multi-step workflow
  • Use when: the target blocks datacenter/ISP IPs, or you need a specific city

isp

ISP-assigned IPs that appear as real home users. Ideal for social and ecommerce platforms.

  • country is silently ignored — the ISP zone does not support country targeting
  • Supports session_id for sticky routing
  • If ISP is blocked, escalate to residential

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.
