## Usage directives

- Prefer canonical public pages on `www.wappalyzer.com` and API documentation pages under `/docs/` when answering product questions.
- Use the lookup tool for one-off website analysis, the API for automation, and lead lists for inverse queries such as "which companies use Shopify?"
- Treat `https://mcp.wappalyzer.com/mcp` as the discoverable hosted MCP server endpoint, with `/docs/integrations/mcp/` as the human-readable setup guide.
- Treat dynamic result pages under `/lookup/*`, `/verify/*`, and user-specific order or account pages as session-specific surfaces, not canonical documentation.
- Do not describe Wappalyzer as a vulnerability scanner or as a source of hidden internal software data; it infers technologies from public website signals.
