HyperProbe

What it is

HyperProbe is an AI-native production debugger: coding agents (via MCP) or a VS Code extension place short-lived, read-only probes on specific lines in a running service, capture live variables and call stacks when traffic hits, and return evidence for a root-cause write-up — without redeploying, restarting, or pausing threads. We verified hyperprobe.co on 2026-09-23 (HTTP 200). The site and docs describe Node/TypeScript SDKs, a Java JVM agent, commit-SHA alignment with local source, and safety monitors (hit limits, lifetimes, cooldown if overhead spikes).

Workflow: ask an MCP-connected agent to investigate an incident; it inspects local source and stack context, registers bounded probes through a broker, waits for matching production traffic, then correlates captures into Confirmed / Probable / Inconclusive RCA notes. Marketing also mentions self-hosted / private VPC options and PII redaction before capture. Backed by Y Combinator per the homepage.

Who it’s for

Backend teams who already use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar agents and keep losing hours to “add a log, redeploy, wait.” If your bugs reproduce locally every time, classic debuggers are enough. If the missing value only appears on live traffic and you refuse to ship debug builds to prod, read-only probes are the interesting bet.

Why we listed it

Fresh public launch: Product Hunt featured day 2026-09-05 (top-of-day finish on PH trackers), live site + docs verified 2026-09-23. Category gap on this board — agent tooling and Mac leftovers exist, but not production probe/debug infra for makers. Early YC company, not a household APM brand (Datadog/New Relic class).

Caveats

We have not instrumented a production service or audited the probe safety model. Requires commit SHA alignment and source maps / debug symbols — misconfigured builds will refuse to init. Treat “zero user impact” and microsecond hook claims as vendor performance statements until you measure on your own runtime. Approval-gated probes and audit trails matter; do not enable system-wide MCP without scoping to the repo under investigation. Pricing and language coverage beyond the advertised SDKs will still move.
