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: ```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: ``` 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](guides/ADVANCED.md#setup-command) 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](guides/CONFIGURATION_MODE.md). ## 🎭 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](https://github.com/toolprint/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](guides/PERSONAS.md) 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.

FAQ
- What is the HyperTool MCP server?
- HyperTool is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for HyperTool?
- This profile displays 66 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.8 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
