Documentation Overview

Give your AI the best tools from all your MCPs 🎯

⚡ Features

🔓 Break Free from Tool Limits

Connect unlimited MCP servers. Use 10, 50, or 500+ tools total - your AI only sees what it needs.

🎯 Task-Specific Toolsets

Build "git-essentials" with 5 tools instead of drowning in 47 Git commands. Switch contexts instantly.

🧠 Smart Tool Descriptions

Enhance tools with examples and context. Watch your AI pick the right tool 89% more often.

🚀 Quick Start

Step 1: Copy Your Existing Config

bash

# In your project directory
cp .mcp.json .mcp.hypertool.json

Step 2: Point Your AI to HyperTool

Replace your .mcp.json with:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hypertool": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@toolprint/hypertool-mcp", "mcp", "run", "--mcp-config", ".mcp.hypertool.json"]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Create Your First Toolset

Restart your AI and try:

Code

You: "Create a toolset called 'coding' with git and docker tools"
AI: "Created 'coding' toolset with 15 focused tools"

You: "Switch to coding toolset"
AI: "Equipped! I now have just the tools needed for development"

That's it! Your AI is now focused and effective. 🎉

💡 Want automated setup? Try our interactive setup command - see Advanced Guide for details.

📚 Configuration Mode: HyperTool uses a smart Configuration Mode to keep toolset management separate from your operational tools. Learn more in the Configuration Mode Guide.

🎭 Personas: Pre-configured Tool Bundles (NEW!)

Don't want to configure from scratch? Use personas - ready-to-use MCP server bundles with pre-built toolsets.

What are Personas?

Think of personas as "app bundles" for your AI - they come with:

✅ Pre-configured MCP servers
✅ Curated toolsets for specific workflows
✅ Everything you need to get started instantly

Quick Start with Personas

bash

# 1. Clone the persona collection
git clone https://github.com/toolprint/awesome-mcp-personas

# 2. Add a persona (e.g., web-dev persona)
hypertool-mcp persona add awesome-mcp-personas/personas/web-dev

# 3. Run with the persona
npx -y @toolprint/hypertool-mcp mcp run --persona web-dev

That's it! No server configuration needed. The persona brings its own servers and toolsets.

📦 Browse all available personas: awesome-mcp-personas

Available Personas

Persona	Included Servers	Best For
web-dev	Git, Docker, Filesystem, Browser, Testing	Full-stack web development
data-scientist	Python, Jupyter, Database, Filesystem, Plotting	Data analysis & ML workflows
devops	Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Monitoring	Infrastructure & deployment
content-creator	Notion, Slack, Grammar, SEO, Social	Writing & content management
researcher	Perplexity, Arxiv, Wikipedia, Filesystem	Research & knowledge work

Persona vs Standard Mode

bash

# Standard Mode (use your existing MCP servers):
npx -y @toolprint/hypertool-mcp mcp run --mcp-config .mcp.hypertool.json

# Persona Mode (bundled servers + pre-built toolsets):
npx -y @toolprint/hypertool-mcp mcp run --persona web-dev

# Persona Mode with specific toolset:
npx -y @toolprint/hypertool-mcp mcp run --persona web-dev --equip-toolset frontend

💡 Pro tip: Personas can be mixed with your existing servers! Add --mcp-config to include your custom servers alongside the persona's servers.

📚 Learn more: See the complete Personas Guide for detailed instructions, creating custom personas, and troubleshooting.

📊 Context Measurement (NEW!)

See exactly how much context each tool consumes. Optimize your toolsets with token estimates for every tool.

Active toolset showing token usage per tool

Why it matters:

🎯 Optimize context usage - Identify heavyweight tools consuming your context window
📉 Make informed decisions - See token costs before adding tools to toolsets
🔍 Compare alternatives - Find lighter tools that do the same job
💡 Budget your context - Understand exactly what you're exposing to your AI

How to use:

Ask your AI to use these MCP tools to see context information:

list-available-tools - Shows token estimates for all available tools
get-active-toolset - Shows token usage for your currently equipped toolset

Each tool displays estimated tokens and percentage of total context consumed. Perfect for building lean, efficient toolsets!
