Add Bassethound to VS Code

Add Bassethound to VS Code with one command so Copilot agent mode can sniff any domain for a correlated five-layer company dossier.

VS Code adds a remote MCP server from the command line, for use in Copilot agent mode.

Add the server

code --add-mcp '{"name":"bassethound","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.bassethound.ai/mcp"}'

Use it

In Copilot chat, switch to agent mode and ask:

sniff stripe.com

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

Verify it works

Open the MCP servers view and confirm bassethound is running. If not, re-run the command, confirm the URL ends in /mcp, and reload the window.

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.
