Add Bassethound to any MCP client
Bassethound is a standard streamable-HTTP MCP server. Any client that speaks remote MCP can connect with a standard mcpServers block.
Bassethound is a standard streamable HTTP MCP server, so any client that supports remote MCP can connect. Most take a mcpServers block.
Add the server
{
"mcpServers": {
"bassethound": {
"url": "https://mcp.bassethound.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
Some clients use a different key for the URL. Windsurf, for example, uses serverUrl. Check your client’s MCP docs if url is not recognized.
Use it
Ask your agent to sniff a domain:
sniff stripe.com
It runs sniff_domain and returns the five-layer dossier: tech stack, infrastructure, firmographics, AI-readiness, and security.
Verify it works
- Confirm the URL ends in
/mcp. The bare host will not connect. - Confirm your client supports remote (HTTP) MCP servers, not just local stdio ones.
- Restart the client after editing a config file.
Next: read the sniff_domain reference, or try it first in the playground.
