## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Tech Stack Detector MCP Server - Shopify, WordPress, SaaS

![Tech Stack Detector MCP Server - Shopify, WordPress, SaaS](https://ai-sales-personalizer.vercel.app/og/mcp-techstack-detective-mcp.png)

**Give your AI agent 4 technographic tools: detect Shopify apps, WordPress plugins, DNS + email + SaaS footprint, and estimate SaaS spend. The foundation of competitive intelligence and vendor research.** Runs in Apify Standby mode (warm, responds in seconds). **Free to try right now** (in the 14-day price-notice window), then $0.10 per tool call.

### Who uses this

- **Agencies** qualifying which sites run Shopify or WordPress before pitching app, theme, or migration work.
- **Sales teams** prioritizing accounts by the exact SaaS a prospect already pays for.
- **Competitive-intel & investors** fingerprinting a target's stack and vendor spend during diligence.
- **AI agents** that need a site's technographic profile to personalize outreach.

### Connect in 30 seconds

The server speaks **Streamable HTTP** at `/mcp`. Add this to your MCP client config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "techstack-detective": {
      "url": "https://fetchcraft--techstack-detective-mcp.apify.actor/mcp?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}
````

Works in **Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, VS Code**, and any Streamable-HTTP MCP client.

**Get your token:** sign in at apify.com, then Settings, then Integrations, then copy your **Personal API token**. Paste it in place of `YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN`. The first call wakes the standby server (about 5 seconds); after that, calls are instant.

**Test it works** (replace the token):

```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://fetchcraft--techstack-detective-mcp.apify.actor/mcp?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'
```

### What you get

A representative result (clean structured JSON):

```json
{
  "domain": "stripe.com",
  "mx_provider": "Google Workspace",
  "dmarc_policy": "reject",
  "cdn_provider": "Cloudflare",
  "saas_signals": ["AWS SES", "Atlassian", "SendGrid"]
}
```

### Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `detect_shopify_stack` | Shopify + 25+ app fingerprints (Klaviyo, Recharge, Yotpo) |
| `detect_wordpress_stack` | WordPress + 30+ plugins (Elementor, Yoast, Rank Math) |
| `dns_email_footprint` | MX, SPF, DMARC, CDN, hosting + 25 SaaS signals from DNS |
| `scan_saas_spend` | 60+ SaaS tools on a site + estimated monthly spend |

Each tool runs a maintained fetchcraft Apify Actor under the hood and returns clean structured JSON. No LLM key, no scraping infrastructure to manage.

### Example agent prompts

- "What apps is gymshark.com running?" -> `detect_shopify_stack`
- "What email vendor and SaaS does stripe.com use?" -> `dns_email_footprint`
- "Estimate the SaaS spend of notion.so." -> `scan_saas_spend`

### Why pay-per-call beats a subscription

- **No subscription, no seats, no minimums.** You pay $0.10 per call, only for what you actually use. Comparable tools in this space usually lock you into a monthly plan whether you run it or not.
- **No LLM key and no scraping infrastructure to manage.** Connect your Apify token and the maintained Actors do the work, returning clean structured JSON.
- **Built for AI agents.** Drop-in MCP server over Streamable HTTP for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and VS Code.
- **$5/month in free Apify platform credits** on every account, that is 50 free calls every month, indefinitely.

### Pricing

- **Free right now.** Every tool call is free during the 14-day price-notice window.
- After that: **$0.10 per tool call**, flat. No subscription, no seat licenses, no minimum.
- Every Apify account includes **$5/month in free platform credits** (= 50 free tool calls every month).

### FAQ

**Which MCP clients work?** Any client supporting Streamable HTTP: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, VS Code, and others.

**Do I need an LLM key?** No. Connect your Apify token and go.

**Is the first call slow?** Only the very first one, while the standby server wakes (about 5 seconds). Subsequent calls are instant.

**Can I get the full fetchcraft suite?** Yes, 28 scrapers plus 6 MCP servers under the `fetchcraft` publisher. Storefront: https://ai-sales-personalizer.vercel.app/scrapers
