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.

Sniff a domain.

Run sniff_domain on any site and read its five-layer dossier in one call.
