How to Set Up and Use HDW MCP
The Anysite MCP Server (distributed under the hdw-mcp-server slug) provides AI assistants with access to structured data from LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, SEC EDGAR, Y Combinator, Crunchbase, and dozens of other web sources through five universal meta-tools powered by the Anysite API. Instead of exposing dozens of fixed per-platform tools, it dynamically discovers available endpoints and parameters via an OpenAPI spec, enabling the AI to search for people, companies, posts, and public data across the entire web with a single consistent interface. Sales teams, researchers, and developers use it for lead generation, competitive intelligence, market research, and person enrichment without building custom scrapers.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npm/npx installed
- An Anysite account at anysite.io with an API token (ANYSITE_ACCESS_TOKEN)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor
- Sufficient Anysite credits or an active subscription plan for the data sources you intend to query
Create an Anysite account and get your API token
Sign up at anysite.io and navigate to app.anysite.io to generate an API access token. The MCP30 promo code covers the first month of MCP Unlimited access.
Install the package (optional for local use)
For the self-hosted stdio mode, install the @anysiteio/mcp package. You can also run it on demand with npx without a global install.
npm install -g @anysiteio/mcpConfigure your MCP client
Add the server to your MCP client config with your ANYSITE_ACCESS_TOKEN. For Claude Desktop, this goes in claude_desktop_config.json.
Verify the five tools are available
Start your MCP client session and ask the assistant which Anysite tools it has. It should list exactly: discover, execute, get_page, query_cache, and export_data.
Run your first query using discover then execute
Always start with discover to learn the available endpoints and their parameters for a given source and category, then call execute with the chosen endpoint. Paginate large results with get_page and filter locally with query_cache.
HDW MCP Examples
Client configuration
Add this block to claude_desktop_config.json for the self-hosted stdio mode. Replace the token with your actual Anysite API token.

Example prompts that use the discover, execute, query_cache, and export_data tools across LinkedIn, Reddit, Crunchbase, and other sources:
- "Find 20 CTOs at Series B fintech startups in New York using LinkedIn search"
- "Search Reddit for complaints about Salesforce from the last 30 days and cluster them by theme"
- "Look up Y Combinator companies in the AI legal tech space and show their funding rounds"
- "Get the LinkedIn profile data for this person and summarize their career trajectory"
- "Export all the results from the last LinkedIn search to a CSV file"
- "Filter the cached company results to show only those headquartered in Berlin"Troubleshooting HDW MCP
401 Unauthorized or 'invalid token' errors on tool calls
Verify that ANYSITE_ACCESS_TOKEN is set correctly in the env block of your MCP config. Log into app.anysite.io to confirm the token is active and has not been revoked. Regenerate a new token if needed.
discover returns no endpoints for a source
Some sources may not be available on your current Anysite plan or may be temporarily unavailable. Check the Anysite documentation at docs.anysite.io for the list of sources included in your plan. Try a different category (e.g. 'profile' vs 'search') with the discover tool.
Claude Desktop tools not reliably called despite being listed
In Claude Desktop, go to Settings > Capabilities > Tool access and set it to 'Tools already loaded' (not 'Load tools when needed'). The lazy-loading mode uses name matching that fails on generic tool names like 'discover' and 'execute'.
