Hi HN, I built Kryfto because AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) are limited by stale training data and noisy built-in search. Kryfto is a self-hosted headless browser runtime that connects to your IDE via MCP and gives it real-time web access.

What it does: - 42+ MCP tools (search, scrape, extract, fact-check, autonomous research agents) - Federated search across DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing, Yahoo, Google simultaneously - Domain-agnostic scoring engine that ranks official sources above noise - Anti-bot stealth layer with per-browser header fingerprinting - Enterprise infra: Postgres, Redis/BullMQ, MinIO/S3, Docker Compose

The cost argument: Firecrawl charges ~$100/mo, Browserless ~$200/mo. Kryfto runs on a $5/mo VPS with zero per-request costs.

Tech stack: TypeScript, Fastify, Playwright, BullMQ, Cheerio for search HTML parsing. ~8,500 lines of code, Apache-2.0 licensed.

I'm a solo developer from India. Built this with Claude Code as my primary development tool. Happy to answer any questions about the scoring algorithm, stealth approach, or architecture decisions.
