Sniff out deep intelligence on any domain

Bassethound is company intelligence for AI agents. Point it at any domain and get back one correlated, source-linked dossier of what a company runs, how AI-ready it is, and whether it fits — over MCP, with no API key and zero setup.

A single sniff_domain call returns five correlated layers:

• Tech stack — frameworks, CMS, analytics, payments, and the widgets a site loads. • Infrastructure — DNS, TLS, hosting, CDN, and email posture (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), plus a DNS-verified vendor graph. • Firmographics — company details, description, contacts, and social profiles. • AI-readiness — deep backend AI-stack fingerprinting: llms.txt, live MCP endpoints (handshake-confirmed), model providers, vector stores, LLM SDKs, and AI-crawler policy — evidence of whether a company is shipping, experimenting, or ignoring AI. • Security — HTTP header and TLS posture at a glance.

How to connect

How to connect bassethound to Claude

The server address to paste into Claude settings:

https://bassethound.run.tools

  1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom connector.
  4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.

  2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
  3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
  4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
  5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
  6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

sniff_domainSniff out a full intelligence dossier for a single domain. Returns a correlated, five-layer profile: technology stack, infrastructure (DNS / TLS / hosting / email, incl. the DNS-verified vendor graph), firmographics, AI-readiness as an evidenced observation (agent interface, DNS-verified AI vendors, llms.txt — no score), and a security-header grade. Args: domain: The domain or URL to sniff (e.g. "stripe.com"). profile: accepted for forward-compatibility; today every profile runs the same standard analysis (tech stack + AI-readiness + firmographics). `fast` and `deep` are not yet differentiated. layers: accepted but not yet applied — the full dossier is always returned. render_js: accepted but not yet wired — the crawl is static (no JS render).
upgradeGet a link to upgrade to a paid Bassethound plan and raise your monthly quota. Call this when the user wants a higher limit or has hit the free-tier cap. `tier` is "pro" (the default) or "business" (a higher monthly quota); an unrecognized or unavailable tier falls back to Pro. The user must be authenticated first. To move an existing paid plan up a level, use `manage_account` — the plan switch happens in the billing portal.
manage_accountSee your plan and get a link to manage, switch, or cancel your paid Bassethound subscription. Call this when the user wants to cancel, update their payment method, view invoices, move between Pro and Business, or check which plan they're on. A paid user gets a Stripe Customer Portal link — Stripe hosts all billing management, and cancelling there keeps the plan active until the end of the billing period; a free user is told how to upgrade.
