HyperTool
Acts as a proxy server that connects multiple MCP servers together, allowing you to organize their tools into custom toolsets and switch between them without restarting.
Proxy server that connects to multiple MCP servers as a client and exposes their tools through configurable toolsets that can be hot-swapped without restart, enabling dynamic toolset management and context switching for complex MCP server ecosystems.
What it does
- Connect unlimited MCP servers simultaneously
- Create task-specific toolsets from combined tools
- Hot-swap toolsets without server restart
- Enhance tool descriptions with examples and context
- Filter tools to show only relevant ones per context
- Switch between different tool contexts instantly

About HyperTool
HyperTool is a community-built MCP server published by toolprint that provides AI assistants with tools and capabilities via the Model Context Protocol. HyperTool is a dynamic proxy server for MCP, enabling toolset hot-swapping and seamless management across complex server It is categorized under productivity, developer tools.
How to install
You can install HyperTool in your AI client of choice. Use the install panel on this page to get one-click setup for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients. This server runs locally on your machine via the stdio transport.
License
HyperTool is released under the NOASSERTION license.
Give your AI the best tools from all your MCPs π―
β‘ Features
π Break Free from Tool Limits
Connect unlimited MCP servers. Use 10, 50, or 500+ tools total - your AI only sees what it needs.
π― Task-Specific Toolsets
Build "git-essentials" with 5 tools instead of drowning in 47 Git commands. Switch contexts instantly.
π§ Smart Tool Descriptions
Enhance tools with examples and context. Watch your AI pick the right tool 89% more often.
π Quick Start
Step 1: Copy Your Existing Config
# In your project directory
cp .mcp.json .mcp.hypertool.json
Step 2: Point Your AI to HyperTool
Replace your .mcp.json with:
{
"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:
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. π

π Configuration Mode: HyperTool uses a smart Configuration Mode to keep toolset management separate from your operational tools. Learn more in the Configuration Mode Guide.
π 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:
- β Pre-configured MCP servers
- β Curated toolsets for specific workflows
- β Everything you need to get started instantly
Quick Start with Personas
# 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.
π¦ 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
# 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
π‘ Pro tip: Personas can be mixed with your existing servers! Add --mcp-config to include your custom servers alongside the persona's servers.
π Learn more: See the complete Personas Guide for detailed instructions, creating custom personas, and troubleshooting.
π 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:
- π― Optimize context usage - Identify heavyweight tools consuming your context window
- π Make informed decisions - See token costs before adding tools to toolsets
- π Compare alternatives - Find lighter tools that do the same job
- π‘ 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 toolsget-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!

π¬ Real Chat Example
You: "I need to debug our API"
AI: "I'll switch to the debugging toolset for better focus"
[Now has: logs, traces, curl, docker]
You: "Actually, let's write the incident report"
AI: "Switching to writing toolset"
[Now has: notion, slack, templates]
π‘ Pro tip: Start with 3-5 tools per toolset. Your AI will thank you!
