Add Bassethound to Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from a JSON config. Add Bassethound once and it is available in every project.

Add the server

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (create the file if it does not exist):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bassethound": {
      "url": "https://mcp.bassethound.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Reload Cursor so it picks up the new server.

Use it

In the composer, ask:

sniff stripe.com

Cursor runs sniff_domain and returns the five-layer dossier: tech stack, infrastructure, firmographics, AI-readiness, and security.

Verify it works

Open Cursor’s MCP settings and confirm bassethound is listed and enabled. If it is not, check that the JSON is valid and the URL ends in /mcp, then reload.

Next: read the sniff_domain reference, or try it first in the playground.
