How to Set Up and Use Hyper MCP
Hyper MCP (jailbreak-mcp) is a configurable MCP server wrapper designed for Cursor and other MCP clients that lets you define named 'modes', each of which exposes a curated subset of tools, prompts, and resources from one or more downstream MCP servers. By switching modes you control exactly which capabilities are visible to the AI, which prevents context-window bloat and sidesteps tool-count limits that some clients enforce. This makes it practical to maintain a single config that covers many different workflows without overloading any individual session.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later installed (npx must be available)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Cursor, Claude Desktop, or VS Code with Continue
- At least one downstream MCP server you want to wrap (e.g. a filesystem or GitHub server)
- A jailbreak.mcp.json configuration file defining your modes
Create a jailbreak.mcp.json config file
This file declares the downstream MCP servers and the named modes that control which tools each mode exposes. Place it in a stable path such as your home directory.
{
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"]
}
},
"modes": {
"default": {
"filesystem": {
"tools": ["read_file", "list_directory"]
}
},
"write": {
"filesystem": {
"tools": ["read_file", "write_file", "list_directory"]
}
}
}
}Add hyper-mcp to your MCP client configuration
Point the wrapper at your config file by passing its path as the first argument to jailbreak-mcp.
{
"mcpServers": {
"hyper": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["jailbreak-mcp@latest", "/path/to/jailbreak.mcp.json"]
}
}
}Restart the MCP client
Restart Cursor or Claude Desktop so the wrapper server is launched and connects to the configured downstream servers.
Verify available tools
In your MCP client's tool list you should see only the tools allowed by the active mode, not the full set from every downstream server.
Switch modes to change the active tool set
Ask the AI to switch to a different mode, or update the config and restart. Each mode name maps to the curated server-tool pairs you defined.
Hyper MCP Examples
Client configuration
Minimal claude_desktop_config.json entry for hyper-mcp pointing to a config file in the home directory.
{
"mcpServers": {
"hyper": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["jailbreak-mcp@latest", "/Users/yourname/jailbreak.mcp.json"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
After connecting, use these prompts to exercise mode-based tool control.
- "List the tools currently available to you in this session."
- "Switch to write mode so I can edit files."
- "Using only the tools in the default mode, read the file /tmp/notes.txt."
- "What modes are configured in the jailbreak config?"Troubleshooting Hyper MCP
The server starts but no tools appear in the client
Check that the path passed to jailbreak-mcp points to a valid jailbreak.mcp.json file that has a 'modes.default' key. Run 'npx jailbreak-mcp@latest /path/to/config.json' in a terminal to see startup errors.
Downstream MCP server fails to launch inside the wrapper
Verify that the downstream server command (e.g. npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem) works standalone in a terminal. Ensure all its prerequisites are installed and paths are absolute.
Tool count still hits client limits even with the wrapper
Reduce the number of tools in each mode by listing only the specific tool names you need. Avoid using wildcard entries that import all tools from a server.
