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.
