MCP Server

Hypertab is the first AI-native active table built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). 47 MCP tools let any agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop — create tables, insert rows, run smart columns, and audit results.

Quick start (30 seconds)

1. Sign up at hypertab.ai/register — free tier, no card.
2. Open your dashboard, copy the MCP config snippet (with embedded API key).
3. Paste into your agent's MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hypertab": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hypertabai/mcp"],
      "env": { "HYPERTAB_API_KEY": "ht_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

4. Restart the agent. All 47 tools are now available.

Why MCP, not just REST

Schema-first tool definitions — agents see Zod-validated parameter shapes upfront.
Error messages include the fix — fuzzy-matched "did you mean 'leads'?" suggestions, not bare 404s.
Resources for context — agents can read live table schemas without burning tokens on doc lookups.
Standard transport — works with every MCP client without per-agent integration code.
Auditable — every tool call logs actor, action, target, IP, timestamp.

FAQ

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?: MCP is an open protocol from Anthropic that lets AI agents call external tools through a standard interface. Hypertab exposes 47 MCP tools — your agent can create tables, insert rows, configure smart columns, and monitor pipelines without writing code.
Which AI agents work with Hypertab MCP?: Any MCP-compatible client. Out of the box: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code Copilot Chat with MCP enabled, Replit Agent, and any custom agent built on the MCP SDK.
How do I connect my agent?: Sign up, copy the MCP config snippet from the dashboard (your API key is embedded), paste it into your agent's MCP config file, and restart. Your agent gets all 47 tools immediately. Setup takes ~30 seconds.
How is auth handled?: API key per user. The MCP config includes your key. All tools are scoped to your isolated database — no cross-tenant access. Keys are revocable, and audit logs capture every tool call (actor, action, target, IP).
Why MCP instead of a REST API?: REST works too — Hypertab has a full REST API. MCP is purpose-built for agents: schema-first tool definitions, structured errors with "did you mean" suggestions, and zero parsing overhead. Agents using MCP make ~70% fewer wrong calls than agents using raw REST.
