Hyperlink

The hyperlink connected every page on the web. Hyperlink connects every app.

Hyperlink is a many-to-many middleman for AI agents. You run it on your machine, add your apps to it as connectors (MCP servers), and every agent (Claude Code, Cursor, your own) connects to Hyperlink once and reaches all of them.

 your agent ─┐                       ┌─ Chrome      (an MCP server it starts)

 Cursor ─────┤    one MCP server     ├─ Notion      (a hosted MCP server)

What it does today (v0.1)

• One MCP server in front of all your MCP servers. Connectors are started from a command or reached at an address; their tools are offered as <connector>__<tool> at http://127.0.0.1:7466/mcp.

• Live. Add or remove a connector while it runs and it starts or stops at once.

• Local and locked. It listens on 127.0.0.1 only, every call needs its token, requests naming another host are refused (no DNS rebinding), and pages from other sites are refused.

• Logged, not recorded. Every call is logged as what, how long and whether it worked, never its arguments or results. You can see the log on the status page at http://127.0.0.1:7466/.

The brain: when nothing connects, it makes a way

hyperlink make "Wikipedia: search articles, and read an article's summary"

  The brain is writing it (try 1 of 3)…
  Testing it in the sandbox…

Add it? [y/N]

1. It writes a connector: a plain definition of tools, in TypeScript, with no imports and no access to the process.

2. It tests it for real: Hyperlink starts it in a sandbox and runs every tool that changes nothing against the live service. Failures go back to the brain to fix, up to three tries.

3. You approve the permit card: what it reaches, what it reads, what it changes, how its tests went. Nothing is added without your yes (--yes skips the question).

4. It runs sandboxed: its own process under Node's permission system (no files but its own, no programs, no workers), no global fetch, and a fetch that reaches only the hosts on its permit.

The brain is any OpenAI-compatible model; MiniMax M3.1 Flash by default (HYPERLINK_MODEL_URL, HYPERLINK_MODEL, HYPERLINK_MODEL_KEY). It wakes only to make or repair: a working connector runs with no AI at all. Point it at an API's docs with --docs <url>.

Repair: when a service changes, the brain fixes its connector

A connector the brain made that will not start, or fails three calls in a row, is marked as needing repair.

hyperlink repair wikipedia

The brain gets its code and its last errors, writes a fix, and Hyperlink tests it in the sandbox like a new one. A fix that needs no more than its permit (the same hosts, keys and kinds of tools) goes in at once; one that needs more (a new host, a new key, a tool that now changes things) waits for your yes. The old version is kept as connector.ts.previous, and the connector starts again before the repair answers.

The vault: keys sealed, each connector gets only its own

hyperlink secret set github GITHUB_TOKEN    # asked for hidden (or piped in), never on the command line
hyperlink secret list                       # names only; values are never shown

• Sealed at rest. Keys live in vault.enc (AES-256-GCM). Its key is kept by the operating system: Windows DPAPI, the macOS Keychain, or the Secret Service on Linux; on a server, HYPERLINK_VAULT_PASSWORD. Where none of those is there, Hyperlink keeps nothing rather than keep it in plain text.

• Nothing secret in the list. connectors.json holds a <vault> placeholder where a key goes. A key written there in plain text (by hand, or by an app that installed a server) is moved into the vault as soon as Hyperlink sees it.

• Each connector gets its own keys and no one else's, when it starts; nothing it inherits from Hyperlink's environment looks like a key. Change a key and the connector starts again with it.

• The brain never sees a secret. A made connector declares the keys it needs; they reach it at run time, never its code.

Where it is going

• Links: "when this happens in A, do that in B", planned by the brain from a sentence, then running with no AI at all.

• The map: your apps around the brain, links lit as data flows.

Use it

npm install -g hyperlink-mcp        # or run from a clone: npm install && npm run build
hyperlink add chrome -- npx -y @playwright/mcp
hyperlink start                     # http://127.0.0.1:7466

Point any MCP client at http://127.0.0.1:7466/mcp with the header Authorization: Bearer <token>. The token is in ~/.hyperlink/token (set HYPERLINK_HOME to keep Hyperlink somewhere else).

Built with

TypeScript on Node 22.18+, and the official MCP TypeScript SDK. Hyperlink is also the way Freya, a desktop AI companion, reaches every app outside herself.
