Add Bassethound to Windsurf

Add Bassethound to Windsurf by adding the hosted MCP endpoint to mcp_config.json, then sniff any domain from Cascade.

Windsurf reads MCP servers from its own config file. Note that the key is serverUrl, not url.

Add the server

Add this to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

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

Reload Windsurf or restart Cascade to load the server.

Use it

Ask Cascade:

sniff stripe.com

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

Verify it works

Check Windsurf’s MCP panel for bassethound. If it does not connect, confirm you used serverUrl (Windsurf’s spelling, not url) and that the URL ends in /mcp.

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.
