hyperresearch
Agent-driven research knowledge base. Agents collect, search, and synthesize web research into a persistent, searchable wiki.
Hyperresearch is an AI sub-agent that converts Claude Code into a comprehensive deep research platform with a tier-adaptive 16-step pipeline. It autonomously collects, verifies, and synthesizes web and scholarly research into adversarially-audited reports while maintaining every source in a persistent, searchable markdown-and-SQLite vault. The system processes 100-250+ sources per run, performs citation verification, detects syndicated content, and supports research scales from 30-minute queries to multi-chapter dissertations spanning 300-450 sources. All research accumulates in a reusable knowledge base accessible through CLI, MCP server, or web interface.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Conducting comprehensive literature reviews across 100+ sources with automated citation verification and adversarial fact-checking
- 02Building a persistent research knowledge base that grows smarter across sessions by reusing previously fetched sources
- 03Writing long-form research reports or dissertation chapters from 300-450 sources with automatic open-access paper recovery
- 04Querying scholarly databases, clinical trials, SEC filings, and economic data through a unified interface with intelligent deduplication
- 05Investigating contradictory claims across sources with independence auditing to weight syndicated content appropriately
- 06Resuming interrupted deep research sessions exactly where they stopped without re-fetching or re-analyzing sources

hyperresearch — FAQ
What is hyperresearch?+
Hyperresearch is an AI sub-agent that transforms Claude Code into a deep research system. It runs a 16-step pipeline that collects, verifies, and synthesizes research from web and scholarly sources into adversarially-audited reports while maintaining all sources in a persistent, searchable vault.
How do I install the hyperresearch AI sub-agent?+
Install via pip with `pip install hyperresearch && hyperresearch install` in your project directory, then invoke `/hyperresearch <your research query>` in Claude Code. Requires Python 3.11-3.13; use `hyperresearch install --global` to make it available across all Claude Code sessions.
Which AI clients work with hyperresearch?+
Hyperresearch works primarily with Claude Code as a native skill. It also provides an MCP server (`pip install hyperresearch[mcp]` then `hyperresearch mcp`) that works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client for vault access and search.
What API keys or prerequisites does hyperresearch need?+
The core system works with Claude Code's built-in Anthropic access with no additional keys. Optional enhanced features require: CORE_API_KEY for CORE scholarly search, FRED_API_KEY for economic data, contact email for Unpaywall open-access recovery, and API keys for Exa or Tavily if using those web providers instead of the default.
Is hyperresearch free to use?+
The software is MIT-licensed and free. Usage incurs Anthropic API costs through Claude Code based on research tier (light runs ~30-40 min, full runs ~1.5-2.5 hours, premier profile ~3-5 hours, dissertation runs ~4-8 hours). Budget caps can be set with `hyperresearch run init --budget <amount>`.
How does the persistent vault work across research sessions?+
Every fetched source lands in a markdown-and-SQLite vault at `research/notes/`. Future sessions search the vault before fetching anything new, so research compounds over time. The vault is plain markdown with YAML frontmatter, fully rebuildable, and accessible via CLI, MCP, web UI, or any text editor.
How do I install hyperresearch?+
