BoolsAI Scan MCP Server for Claude
BoolsAI hosted MCP server with no authentication required for tech stack scanning via boolsai_scan and boolsai_scan_paths tools on boolsai.ai/mcp.
Open the source and read safety notes before installing.
Safety notes
- boolsai_scan fetches live websites and may trigger WAF or rate limits on target hosts.
- Scanning third-party sites without permission may violate terms of service or security policies.
- Detected stack data is heuristic and may include false positives or miss obfuscated technologies.
- Do not use scan output as the sole input for security assessments or compliance audits.
Privacy notes
- URLs and path lists you submit are sent to Boolsai.ai for analysis and may be logged for abuse prevention.
- Local path scans depend on your MCP client; path names may reveal internal project structure if shared in chat.
- Scan results can expose framework versions useful to attackers; handle reports as sensitive in competitive contexts.
Prerequisites
- Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise with Connectors support, or Claude Code with HTTP MCP transport.
- Public URLs to scan or local project paths exposed through your MCP client's file access model.
- Permission to probe target websites; avoid scanning systems you do not own without authorization.
- Internet access so BoolsAI can fetch remote pages for stack detection.

}About this resource
Overview
BoolsAI Scan provides a hosted Model Context Protocol server for detecting technologies used on websites and in project paths. No authentication is required. Tools include boolsai_scan for URL-based detection and boolsai_scan_paths for path-oriented analysis.
Source and documentation are in Boolsai-ai/mcp. The endpoint is https://boolsai.ai/mcp.
Features
boolsai_scandetects CMS, frameworks, analytics, and hosting signals from URLs.boolsai_scan_pathsinspects technology markers from supplied path lists.- No API key or OAuth required for basic scanning.
- Hosted remote HTTP transport at
boolsai.ai/mcp. - Fast setup for competitive research and due diligence workflows.
Use Cases
- Identify the CMS and JS framework on a prospect’s marketing site.
- Compare tech stacks across competitor landing pages.
- Pre-qualify integration partners by detecting API gateways and clouds.
- Document stack assumptions before a migration proposal.
- Batch-scan a list of URLs during market mapping.
Installation
Claude (Connectors)
- Add a custom connector under Settings → Connectors.
- Enter the MCP URL:
https://boolsai.ai/mcp. - Enable the connector; no API key is needed.
- Invoke scan tools from chat.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http boolsai https://boolsai.ai/mcp
claude mcp list
Other MCP clients
Add a remote HTTP connector pointing at https://boolsai.ai/mcp.
Configuration
{
"mcpServers": {
"boolsai": {
"url": "https://boolsai.ai/mcp",
"type": "http"
}
}
}
No headers or environment variables are required.
Examples
Scan a website
Run boolsai_scan on https://example.com and list detected frameworks and analytics tools.
Compare competitors
Scan https://competitor-a.com and https://competitor-b.com and compare their tech stacks.
Path-based scan
Use boolsai_scan_paths on our repo’s package.json and config files to summarise the stack.
Security
- Scan only sites you are authorised to probe.
- Treat version fingerprints as sensitive when disclosing externally.
- Confirm findings manually before security or compliance decisions.
Troubleshooting
Scan blocked or empty
The target may block bots or require JavaScript rendering; try the canonical HTTPS URL without redirects.
False positives
Heuristic detection can mislabel CDNs or tag managers; corroborate with manual inspection.
Rate limits
Space out bulk scans; excessive requests to the same domain may be throttled by BoolsAI or the target.
Path scan errors
Ensure paths exist and your client can read them; remote MCP path scans depend on local file access configuration.
