About
What is HyperChat?
HyperChat is an open-source chat client that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and can use various LLM APIs to deliver an advanced chat experience and productivity tools. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is also accessible via command line, Docker, or web browser.
How to use HyperChat?
Configure your API key (any OpenAI‑compatible LLM service), then ensure you have uv (or uvx) and nodejs (with npx) installed. Run npx -y @dadigua/hyper-chat to start a local web server on port 16100 with default password 123456. Alternatively, pull the Docker image with docker pull dadigua/hyperchat-mini:latest.
Key features of HyperChat
- Supports OpenAI, Claude, Qwen, Deepseek, Gemini, and more LLMs
- Fully supports MCP for tools, resources, and prompts
- WebDAV incremental synchronization with hash‑based speed
- HyperPrompt syntax with variables and real‑time preview
- Agents with preset prompts and permitted MCP selection
- ChatSpace for simultaneous multi‑dialogue chats
Use cases of HyperChat
- Automate repetitive tasks by defining agents with specific prompts and MCP tools
- Compare model outputs side‑by‑side in the same chat session
- Render interactive content like Artifacts, SVG, HTML, and Mermaid diagrams
- Schedule agents to run periodic tasks and monitor completion status
- Create a knowledge base using MCP‑based RAG (retrieval‑augmented generation)
