Install

Bassethound is a hosted, remote MCP server. Point any client at one endpoint and start sniffing domains. Pick your client for the exact steps.

Bassethound is hosted, so “installing” it just means pointing your client at one endpoint. There is nothing to run and no key for the free tier.

It is a streamable HTTP MCP server. Pick your client for the exact steps.

Verify it works

Whichever client you use, ask your agent:

sniff stripe.com

You should get back a five-layer dossier. If nothing happens:

Make sure the URL ends in /mcp. The bare domain will not connect.
Confirm your client supports remote (HTTP) MCP servers, not just local stdio ones.
Restart the client after editing a config file.

Sniff a domain.

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