tap/limit

What it does

Take first N rows (head) or skip M then take N (offset+limit)

Install Taprun once

Taprun ships as a single MCP server exposing a catalog of compiled taps. One-time setup on macOS / Linux:

brew install LeonTing1010/tap/taprun
tap mcp connect

Or drop this into your claude_desktop_config.json (works identically in Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf — any MCP host):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tap": {
      "command": "tap",
      "args": ["mcp", "start"]
    }
  }
}

Call tap/limit

Terminal, once installed:

tap run tap/limit

From the MCP host — exact same compiled plan, deterministic replay, zero LLM tokens:

tap.run({ site: "tap", name: "limit" })

Why compile it once

This plan was forged once — the AI read tap, picked stable structural addresses (JSON-LD, ARIA, RSS, or declared API endpoints, in that priority order), and saved them to a .plan.json. Every replay since then has used zero LLM tokens. When tap ships a site change that breaks the extraction, tap verify surfaces it before your data goes stale — not after your pipeline silently writes garbage for a week.
