⚙️ Configuration

The BuiltWith MCP Server requires an API key from BuiltWith. Configure the server with your API key as follows:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "builtwith": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": ["[PATH-TO]/bw-mcp-v1.js"],
            "env": {
                "BUILTWITH_API_KEY": "[YOUR-API-KEY]"
            }
        }
    }
}

Configuration Locations

• Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
• VS Code (Cursor/Claude Dev): ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json (Windows)

🚀 Usage

Once configured, you can use the BuiltWith MCP Server with any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Here are some examples of what you can ask:

• "What technologies is example.com using?"
• "What CMS does nytimes.com run on?"
• "Does amazon.com use Google Analytics?"
• "What JavaScript frameworks are used by spotify.com?"
• "What hosting provider does netflix.com use?"
• "Compare the technology stacks of facebook.com and twitter.com"

🧩 How It Works

The BuiltWith MCP Server acts as a bridge between AI assistants and the BuiltWith API:

1. 🗣️ The AI assistant receives a user query about website technologies
2. 🔌 The assistant connects to the BuiltWith MCP Server
3. 🔍 The server makes appropriate API calls to BuiltWith
4. 📊 Technology data is retrieved and formatted
5. 💬 The AI assistant provides human-friendly insights based on the data
