Re:Stateless MCP has recaptured my interest on Wednesday August 05, 2026 @03:00AM (#49179479)
Hi Simon and HN checkout https://rmcp.dev - it's part of BuiltWith's MCP discovery and lets you sniff around all of the MCP servers (remote at least) that we've discovered - allowing you to connect to them etc. and see what they do. Thought it might be relevant vis your mcp-explorer.

Search a continuously updated registry of remote Model Context Protocol endpoints detected on websites, pretend you're the AI bot :)

Open any result to connect to its MCP server, inspect the tools it exposes and invoke supported tools directly from the registry.

I had this too for my extension - as mentioned there’s a security explanation tab now on the developer dashboard. I also removed any http requirements and made then https and stopped using external scripts/css hopefully enough - annoying their messaging is so vague and menacing.
They are growing in Scotland according to the Wikipedia page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollemia and I've seen a large one growing unprotected at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.

I have two of these Wollemi pines after reading about the story of them a few years ago and being fascinated (I paid $100 for them but worth it to tell people the story). The trick to keeping them alive is to not do anything with them at all I think.

Re:Ask HN: Contact at Google Chrome Web Store? on Saturday June 15, 2019 @05:15PM (#20192190)
Yes I feel sorry for people who's entire livelihood rely on these apps - there's no phone number or name to contact just a black hole to email.
Re:Ask HN: Contact at Google Chrome Web Store? on Saturday June 15, 2019 @02:53AM (#20188748)
I've had the same issue with my extension - it has 250k users and it was removed a few days ago with no warning. I recieved one reply 12 hours later saying there was "too many keywords" in the description. It has been in the Chrome Web Store for at least 5 years with the same description - very odd and it is still not restored.

Had exactly the same problem - if you can get them into a question/answer format https://qnamaker.ai works for us.
Re:How We Found All of Optimizely's Clients on Wednesday January 11, 2017 @04:30PM (#13377655)
On a interesting side note Optimizely was a very early customer of ours (BuiltWith) starting in 2010 which helped them find customers for their own tool based on sites using their competitors (which at the time wasn't very many), I don't think it will bother them that other businesses can do the same thing.

Glad to see all these other tools in the market now there was and is clearly a need for it.

Apologies Dan I've totally removed your website from the system - anyone can do this via http://builtwith.com/removals
Re:Jet.com’s Valuation Nears $600M Before Launch on Wednesday February 11, 2015 @10:45PM (#9037262)
Exactly right, "worth" should only really be used if someone else would pay $600M for it today.

Might help to compete against Amazon as they and Akamai have the lions share of YCombinator sites - http://trends.builtwith.com/tech-reports/Y-Combinator/hostin...
Looks like a few of the tracking companies only just started to appear -

The only non-ad tool they added was the Twitter Platform to their homepage. Lots of data leakage points though.

Re:TXT Record XSS on Thursday September 18, 2014 @07:12PM (#8338185)
I've found about 80 TXT records with <script tags in them - most of them look like the person not understanding where to paste a JavaScript snippet over XSS attempts, here's all of them -

http://builtwith.com/script-tags-in-TXT-records.txt

There's a few that are "13h.be/x.js" that look like someone trying this out before.

If you count sub-domains on Alexa top domains here's a few big companies in there like iStockPhoto and Debenhams -

  discover.istockphoto.com
  store.xda-developers.com
  support.sharebeast.com
  finance.debenhams.com
  poy.tsn.ca
  m.nzherald.co.nz
  blog.telmex.com
  business.un.org
  coinad.com

  pbh2.com
  edoqs.com
  grandascent.com
  locations.paychex.com
  pagelines.com
  danjur.com
  mrmoneymustache.com
We've got some historical stats for them here but we only started tracking in January -

Not sure if this is of any interest but this is where they are getting new customers from (from most to least)

  Linode
  Softlayer	
  Rackspace	
  Amazon	
  GoDaddy

Re:Twitter using Google Web Server? on Sunday November 03, 2013 @06:02PM (#6665549)
We've excluded most websites which contain user generated content because of the false positives they give off like this. We've added twitter.com to that list.
Re:Top Sites Built with Ruby on Rails on Thursday August 22, 2013 @08:36PM (#6261013)
Nice list but if you include off-homepage usage by the top sites then you get massive companies like

Amazon studios.amazon.com

Twitter support.twitter.com

Weather feedback.weather.com

Go sportsnation.espn.go.com

AT&T insider.att.com

Target weeklyad.target.com

Imgur store.imgur.com

Photobucket support.photobucket.com

Shameless plug - all found at http://builtwith.com
