Plug 6,500+ AI apps into any LLM via the Model Context Protocol.
HyperStore is a curated directory of 6,500+ AI applications, developed by HyperGPT. This MCP server exposes the HyperStore catalog to any LLM client — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Gemini, and anything else that speaks MCP.
Ask your LLM:
"Find me a free AI tool that summarises PDFs." "Compare ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini side-by-side." "Show me the top 5 image-generation apps with an API."
The LLM calls HyperStore MCP behind the scenes and answers with up-to-date, curated results.

For self-hosting, use the Docker image.
For direct invocation without Docker, the CLI accepts --transport http|sse
(see hyperstore-mcp --help).
When self-hosting, these environment variables can be set
(see .env.example for the full list):
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
MCP_HOST | 0.0.0.0 | Bind host (http/sse transports) |
MCP_PORT | 8080 | Bind port (http/sse transports) |
LOG_LEVEL | INFO | Logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR) |
Inspect the running server with the official MCP Inspector:
HyperStore MCP is a thin async wrapper around the HyperStore public REST API. It is read-only — no credentials, no writes, no PII. The same data that powers the website powers the MCP server. Updates land in your LLM the moment they land on the site.
