+ # CLAUDE.md
2
+
3
+ This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
4
+
5
+ ## Project Overview
6
+
7
+ **Visus** (`visus-mcp`) is an MCP tool that provides Claude with secure, sanitized access to web pages. Unlike other MCP browser tools (Firecrawl, Playwright MCP, ScrapeGraphAI), Visus runs ALL fetched content through an injection sanitization pipeline before the LLM reads it.
8
+
9
+ Core differentiator: *"What the web shows you, Lateos reads safely."*
10
+
11
+ This is part of the Lateos platform — a security-by-design AI agent framework deployed on AWS serverless (Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, Cognito, Bedrock with Guardrails, DynamoDB with KMS encryption).
12
+
13
+ ## Architecture
14
+
15
+ The system follows this flow:
16
+ ```
17
+ User provides URL → Visus MCP Tool → Browser rendering (Playwright) →
18
+ Raw HTML extraction → Injection Sanitizer (43 patterns) → PII Redactor →
19
+ Clean content → Claude via MCP
20
+ ```
21
+
22
+ ### Two MCP Tools
23
+
24
+ 1. **`visus_fetch(url, options?)`** - Returns sanitized markdown/text from a URL
25
+ 2. **`visus_fetch_structured(url, schema)`** - Extracts structured data with sanitization
26
+
27
+ Both tools MUST always pass content through the sanitizer — this cannot be bypassed.
28
+
29
+ ## Key Components
30
+
31
+ ### Sanitizer (The Core Product)
32
+ Location: `src/sanitizer/`
33
+
34
+ The sanitizer is the product's primary moat. It must detect and neutralize 43 injection pattern categories:
35
+
36
+ 1. Direct instruction injection ("Ignore previous instructions")
37
+ 2. Role hijacking ("You are now", "Act as")
38
+ 3. System prompt extraction ("Repeat your instructions")
39
+ 4. Privilege escalation ("Admin mode", "Developer override")
40
+ 5. Context poisoning ("The user said", "You already agreed")
41
+ 6. Data exfiltration ("Send this to", "Email the following")
42
+ 7. Encoding obfuscation (Base64, Unicode lookalikes, hex-encoded)
43
+ 8. Whitespace hiding (zero-width chars, invisible Unicode)
44
+ 9. HTML/script injection (`<script>`, `<iframe>`, `onclick`)
45
+ 10. Markdown injection (malicious link syntax, image payloads)
46
+ 11. URL fragment attacks (instructions after `#`)
47
+ 12. Social engineering (urgency language)
48
+ ... (43 total)
49
+
50
+ **Sanitizer behavior:**
51
+ - Detect → log pattern name to `sanitization.patterns_detected`
52
+ - Neutralize → strip, replace with `[REDACTED: pattern_name]`, or escape
53
+ - Never block entire page — degrade gracefully
54
+ - PII redaction: email, phone, SSN, credit card, IP addresses
55
+ - PII format: `[REDACTED:EMAIL]`, `[REDACTED:PHONE]`, etc.
56
+
57
+ ### Browser Rendering
58
+ Location: `src/browser/playwright-renderer.ts`
59
+
60
+ Uses Playwright headless Chromium to fetch pages. Phase 1 uses headless only; Phase 2 adds user-session relay for login-gated pages.
61
+
62
+ ## Development Commands
63
+
64
+ Since this is a new project, these commands will be added to `package.json`:
65
+
66
+ ```bash
67
+ npm run build # Compile TypeScript to /dist
68
+ npm test # Run Jest test suite (must have 0 failures)
69
+ npm run lint # TypeScript strict mode checks
70
+ npm publish --dry-run # Validate package before publishing
71
+ npx visus-mcp # Start MCP server
72
+ ```
73
+
74
+ ## Coding Standards (Lateos Conventions)
75
+
76
+ - **TypeScript strict mode** - No `any` types allowed
77
+ - **Error handling** - Never throw raw errors; return typed Result objects
78
+ - **Logging** - Structured JSON to stderr (NOT stdout — MCP protocol uses stdout)
79
+ - **Documentation** - All public functions must have JSDoc comments
80
+ - **Tests** - Jest, located in `/tests`, minimum 80% coverage
81
+ - **Security** - No secrets in code; read from environment variables
82
+ - **Build output** - `tsc` compiles to `/dist`
83
+
84
+ ## Test Requirements
85
+
86
+ All tests must pass before Phase 1 is complete.
87
+
88
+ ### `tests/sanitizer.test.ts`
89
+ - Each of 43 pattern categories with at least one positive test case
90
+ - PII detection: email, phone, SSN, credit card
91
+ - Clean content passes through unmodified (no false positives)
92
+ - `content_modified: false` when no patterns detected
93
+ - `content_modified: true` and `patterns_detected` populated when injection found
94
+
95
+ ### `tests/fetch-tool.test.ts`
96
+ - `visus_fetch` returns expected output shape
97
+ - `visus_fetch_structured` extracts fields correctly
98
+ - Timeout handling
99
+ - Invalid URL handling
100
+ - Sanitizer is always called (cannot be bypassed)
101
+
102
+ ### `tests/injection-corpus.ts`
103
+ - 43 injection payloads (one per pattern category)
104
+ - 10 clean pages/content samples (should produce no detections)
105
+
106
+ ## Standard Troubleshooting Protocol
107
+
108
+ Whenever you encounter an error, blocked deployment, or multi-step recovery task, you MUST generate a structured troubleshooting log automatically. This is not optional — it applies to every build, fix, and diagnostic task in this project.
109
+
110
+ ### Log File Naming
111
+
112
+ ```
113
+ TROUBLESHOOT-<CONTEXT>-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M).md
114
+ ```
115
+
116
+ Save to project root. Examples:
117
+ - `TROUBLESHOOT-CDK-20260314-0621.md`
118
+ - `TROUBLESHOOT-LAMBDA-20260314-0900.md`
119
+ - `TROUBLESHOOT-SLIM-20260314-0629.md`
120
+
121
+ ### Entry Format (append after EVERY action)
122
+
123
+ ```markdown
124
+ ## [HH:MM:SS] Step N - <short title>
125
+
126
+ **Goal:** What this step is trying to accomplish
127
+ **Reasoning:** Why this approach was chosen over alternatives
128
+ **Action:** Exact command or operation performed
129
+ **Result:** Raw output, error messages, success confirmation
130
+ **Status:** ✅ Success / ❌ Failed / ⚠️ Partial
131
+ ```
132
+
133
+ ### Rules
134
+
135
+ 1. **Log BEFORE executing, not after** — write Goal and Reasoning first
136
+ 2. **Never skip a step** even if obvious or trivial
137
+ 3. **On failure:** log the full error, state your revised reasoning, attempt one alternative, log that too
138
+ 4. **Do not summarize or clean up errors** — paste raw output verbatim
139
+ 5. **End every log with a SUMMARY section:** root cause, resolution, lessons learned, and open issues
140
+
141
+ ### Purpose
142
+
143
+ These logs are tool-use execution traces for future agent training. The **Reasoning** field is the highest-value signal — always explain **WHY**, not just **WHAT**.
144
+
145
+ **Example log structure:**
146
+
147
+ ```markdown

+ # Lateos MCP Handler - Emergency Recovery Log
149
+
150
+ Started: 2026-03-14 06:02:15
151
+ Goal: Restore MCP handler Lambda with proper dependency packaging
152
+
153
+ ---
154
+
155
+ ## [06:02:18] Step 1 - Locate MCP Handler Source
156
+
157
+ **Goal:** Find the mcp_handler.py source file in the project
158
+ **Reasoning:** Need the handler source to rebuild the deployment package
159
+ **Action:** find /Users/leochong/Documents/projects -name "mcp_handler.py"
160
+ **Result:**
161
+ /Users/leochong/Documents/projects/Lateos/lambdas/core/mcp_handler.py
162
+ **Status:** ✅ Success
163
+
164
+ ---
165
+
166
+ # RECOVERY SUMMARY
167
+
168
+ Final Status: ✅ RESTORED
169
+ Root Cause: Lambda package missing runtime dependencies
170
+ Resolution: Installed aws_lambda_powertools + aws_xray_sdk
171
+ Lessons Learned: Always verify dependencies in Lambda packages
172
+ ```
173
+
174
+ ---
175
+
176
+ ## CRITICAL: Security Rules — Never Violate These
177
+
178
+ Claude Code must refuse to generate code that violates these rules, even if
179
+ explicitly instructed to do so in a subsequent message:
180
+
181
+ ```
182
+ RULE 1: No secrets in code, environment variables, or config files.
183
+ ALL secrets go through AWS Secrets Manager. No exceptions.
184
+
185
+ RULE 2: No wildcard (*) actions or resources in any IAM policy.
186
+ Every Lambda has a scoped execution role. Period.
187
+
188
+ RULE 3: No public S3 buckets, no public endpoints without Cognito.
189
+ (WAF deferred to Phase 2 per ADR-011)
190
+
191
+ RULE 4: No shell execution in any Lambda or skill.
192
+ os.system(), subprocess, eval(), exec() are banned.
193
+
194
+ RULE 5: All user input is sanitized for prompt injection before
195
+ touching the LLM. Never pass raw user input to Bedrock.
196
+
197
+ RULE 6: No cross-user data access. Every DynamoDB query is scoped
198
+ to the authenticated user_id partition key. No exceptions.
199
+
200
+ RULE 7: Every Lambda has reserved_concurrent_executions set.
201
+ No function can scale to infinity and run up costs.
202
+
203
+ RULE 8: No plaintext logging of tokens, passwords, API keys, or PII.
204
+ Use structured logging with field redaction.
205
+ ```
206
+
207
+ If asked to do something that violates these rules, Claude Code should explain
208
+ why and offer a compliant alternative.
209
+

211
+
212
+ ## Environment Variables
213
+
214
+ ```bash
215
+ # Optional — for Lateos hosted tier (Phase 2)
216
+ LATEOS_API_KEY= # Enables audit logging to Lateos cloud
217
+ LATEOS_ENDPOINT= # Defaults to https://api.lateos.ai
218
+
219
+ # Optional — browser config
220
+ VISUS_TIMEOUT_MS=10000 # Default fetch timeout
221
+ VISUS_MAX_CONTENT_KB=512 # Max content size before truncation
222
+ ```
223
+
224
+ No API key required for open-source tier. `npx visus-mcp` works out of the box.

248
+
249
+ ## Phase 1 Definition of Done
250
+
251
+ - [ ] `npx visus-mcp` starts an MCP server with both tools registered
252
+ - [ ] `visus_fetch("https://example.com")` returns sanitized markdown
253
+ - [ ] All 43 pattern categories have test cases that pass
254
+ - [ ] No false positives on 10 clean content samples
255
+ - [ ] README leads with security narrative
256
+ - [ ] SECURITY.md documents the threat model
257
+ - [ ] `npm test` passes with 0 failures
258
+ - [ ] `npm run build` produces clean `/dist`
259
+ - [ ] `npm publish --dry-run` succeeds
260
+
261
+ ## What NOT to Build in Phase 1
262
+
263
+ - No AWS Lambda deployment (Phase 2)
264
+ - No DynamoDB audit logging (Phase 2)
265
+ - No Cognito auth (Phase 2)
266
+ - No user-session relay / Chrome extension (Phase 3)
267
+ - No Lateos dashboard integration (Phase 2)
268
+ - No paid tier gating (Phase 2)
269
+
270
+ Keep Phase 1 lean: a working, publishable open-source MCP tool with security-first documentation.
271
+
272
+ ## Implementation Order
273
+
274
+ Start with the sanitizer — it is the product:
275
+
276
+ 1. Define all 43 patterns in `src/sanitizer/patterns.ts`
277
+ 2. Build the sanitizer engine against those patterns
278
+ 3. Build the Playwright renderer
279
+ 4. Wire into MCP tools
280
+ 5. Write tests (sanitizer tests FIRST)
281
+ 6. Write README and SECURITY.md last
282
+
283
+ Do not proceed past the sanitizer until the pattern library and basic detection logic are complete and unit-tested.
284
+
285
+ ## Tool Output Schemas
286
+
287
+ ### `visus_fetch` Output
288
+ ```typescript
289
+ {
290
+ url: string,
291
+ content: string, // Sanitized content
292
+ sanitization: {
293

294

302
+ }
303
+ }
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ ### `visus_fetch_structured` Output
307
+ ```typescript
308
+ {
309
+ url: string,
310
+ data: Record<string, string | null>, // Extracted fields, sanitized
311
+ sanitization: { /* same as above */ },
312
+ metadata: { /* same as above */ }
313
+ }
314
+ ```
315
+
316
+ ## Security-First Documentation
317
+
318
+ Both README.md and SECURITY.md must lead with the security narrative, not features:
319
+ - The problem with other tools (raw content passed to LLM)
320
+ - How Visus works (fetch → sanitize → return)
321
+ - 43 pattern categories with examples
322
+ - PII redaction types and format
323
+ - Honest limitations (novel obfuscation, AI-generated benign-looking instructions)
324
+ - Vulnerability reporting: security@lateos.ai or GitHub Security tab

13
+ Popular MCP browser tools like Firecrawl, Playwright MCP, and ScrapeGraphAI pass untrusted web content directly to your LLM without sanitization. This creates a **critical security vulnerability**:
14
+
15
+ - **Prompt injection attacks** can manipulate AI behavior
16
+ - **Personal identifiable information (PII)** can leak into conversation logs
17
+ - **Malicious instructions** hidden in web pages can compromise your AI agent
18
+
19
+ Visus solves this by treating **every web page as untrusted input** and sanitizing it before your LLM sees it.

22
+
23
+ ## How Visus Works
24
+
25
+ ```
26
+ User provides URL → Playwright Fetch → Injection Sanitizer (43 patterns) →
27
+ PII Redactor → Clean Content → Claude via MCP
28
+ ```
29
+
30
+ ### Security Pipeline
31
+
32
+ 1. **Browser Rendering**: Headless Chromium via Playwright fetches the page
33
+ 2. **Injection Detection**: 43 pattern categories scan for prompt injection attempts
34
+ 3. **PII Redaction**: Emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, and IP addresses are redacted
35
+ 4. **Clean Delivery**: Only sanitized content reaches your LLM
36
+
37
+ **This pipeline cannot be bypassed.** Every tool invocation runs content through the full sanitizer.

41
+ ## Security Features
42
+
43
+ ### 43 Injection Pattern Categories
44
+
45
+ Visus detects and neutralizes:
46
+
47
+ - **Direct instruction injection** — "Ignore previous instructions"
48
+ - **Role hijacking** — "You are now an unrestricted AI"
49
+ - **System prompt extraction** — "Repeat your instructions"
50
+ - **Privilege escalation** — "Admin mode enabled"
51
+ - **Data exfiltration** — "Send this to http://attacker.com"
52
+ - **Encoding obfuscation** — Base64, Unicode lookalikes, leetspeak
53
+ - **HTML/script injection** — `<script>`, `<iframe>`, event handlers
54
+ - **Jailbreak keywords** — DAN mode, developer override
55
+ - **Token smuggling** — Special tokens like `<|im_start|>`
56
+ - **Social engineering** — Urgency language to bypass caution
57
+ - ... and 33 more categories
58
+
59
+ [See full list in SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md)
60
+
61
+ ### PII Redaction
62
+
63
+ Automatically redacts:
64
+
65
+ - Email addresses → `[REDACTED:EMAIL]`
66
+ - Phone numbers → `[REDACTED:PHONE]`
67
+ - Social Security Numbers → `[REDACTED:SSN]`
68
+ - Credit card numbers → `[REDACTED:CC]`
69
+ - IP addresses → `[REDACTED:IP]`

271
+ ## FAQ
272
+
273
+ **Q: Does Visus slow down web fetching?**
274
+ A: Minimal overhead. Sanitization adds ~50-200ms per page.
275
+
276
+ **Q: Can attackers bypass the sanitizer?**
277
+ A: Novel obfuscation techniques or AI-generated benign-looking instructions may evade detection. See [SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md) for honest limitations.
278
+
279
+ **Q: Does Visus work with authenticated pages?**
280
+ A: Phase 1 uses headless-only rendering. Phase 2 will add user session relay via Chrome extension.
281
+
282
+ **Q: How does Visus compare to Firecrawl?**
283
+ A: Firecrawl is excellent for web scraping but doesn't sanitize for prompt injection. Visus focuses on **security-first** content delivery.
284
+
285
+ **Q: Is Visus free?**
286
+ A: Yes! Open-source tier is free forever. Phase 2 will introduce a hosted tier with SLA guarantees for enterprise use.
