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.
