About HyperDX
HyperDX's CLI connects AI coding agents to your logs with one command.
HyperDX 2.44, published under the ClickStack name, adds `hdx mcp install`, which checks an API key with hidden input and registers the ClickStack MCP server in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code. The release also adds team-owned API keys that survive their creator leaving, conditional ad hoc dashboard filters, a working Denoise option, and collector seeds with session ID columns and ZSTD(3) compression. The app's own telemetry moved to the ClickStack SDKs and stable OpenTelemetry semantic conventions.
