Connect BuiltWith Tech Lookup MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect BuiltWith Tech Lookup to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Full stack intelligence in Windsurf
Cascade can query the `lookup_domain_tech` tool to map out exactly what a site is running. Instead of digging through source code, you get a clean breakdown of CMS, frameworks, and analytics providers. This MCP Server feeds that data straight into your editor context. Your agent parses the output to adjust your project architecture to match existing patterns.
Track tech trends for your Windsurf projects
Use `get_tech_trends` to see if a framework is gaining or losing momentum. It gives you a clear picture of how many sites actually use a tool before you commit to it. Windsurf keeps this data in the chat context. You make informed decisions on library choices based on real market usage instead of hype.
Find domain lists with Windsurf
Run `get_tech_domain_lists` to generate targets based on specific technology requirements. It is a fast way to see who is using a particular stack. Cascade handles the list generation autonomously. You just define the filter, and the server returns the relevant domain set for your analysis.
