Hive Crypto

Hive Intelligence

One connection for evidence-backed crypto due diligence.

Every Hive-backed answer carries sources, freshness, and a runtime receipt. The hosted MCP normalizes market, wallet, DeFi, security, DEX, NFT, network, and prediction-market evidence behind one agent-ready connection.

Connect

Hive is a hosted MCP server for clients that support remote Streamable HTTP. Once the hosted OAuth deployment is enabled, interactive clients discover it from the public endpoint and open browser authorization. Headless agents can use an API key from secret storage:

https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp

The setup pages check the live protected-resource metadata, server card, release version, and required client redirect profiles before showing a native install action. Until that gate passes, use the API-key fallback from a trusted backend/client; never put a key in an install link. Per-client config blocks are below.

What is Hive Intelligence?

A managed MCP server, REST API, and CLI that give AI agents one evidence-backed workflow surface over live crypto market data, DeFi, wallets, token security, DEX flows, NFTs, prediction markets, and on-chain network data. Agents receive the provider, Hive retrieval time, Hive first-observation/original cache time, cache age, fallback state, runtime status, and a unique receipt for every material execution instead of silently mixing provider data.

Connect to your AI client

The hosted endpoint is the same everywhere. After OAuth activation, interactive clients should start with URL-only OAuth discovery. API-key auth remains the explicit headless fallback.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user hive https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hive": {
      "url": "https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot Chat)

.vscode/mcp.json (note the required type: "http"):

{
  "servers": {
    "hive": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop uses the Custom Connectors UI for remote MCP. Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, set the URL to https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp, then, after OAuth activation, complete browser authorization. Do not paste a remote url block into claude_desktop_config.json; that file is for local stdio servers.

Windsurf / Devin Desktop

Windsurf uses serverUrl (not Cursor's url) in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hive": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI requires httpUrl in ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hive": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both configs are URL-only and can use native OAuth after hosted OAuth activation. Full per-client guides: hiveintelligence.xyz/install.

Headless API-key fallback

For automation that cannot open a browser, keep a Hive API key in secret storage and send Authorization: Bearer $HIVE_API_KEY. Never embed a real key in an install link, shared config, screenshot, or repository.

Local stdio (self-host / desktop / your own provider keys)

Prefer a local process or your own upstream keys? Run the published CLI as a stdio MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "hive-intelligence@latest", "hive"],
      "env": {
        "COINGECKO_DEMO_API_KEY": "optional",
        "ALCHEMY_API_KEY": "optional",
        "HELIUS_API_KEY": "optional",
        "MORALIS_API_KEY": "optional"
      }
    }
  }
}

Local stdio does not use a hosted HIVE_API_KEY; configure only the upstream provider keys you want that local process to call. Keyless providers remain available and providers without credentials stay discoverable with a classified missing_key runtime status. hive-intelligence is a stdio transport (a JSON-RPC channel, not an interactive command). For terminal use, see the CLI.

Authentication

• Get a key at hiveintelligence.xyz/dashboard/keys; the free Demo plan needs no card.
• Authenticate the hosted endpoint with Authorization: Bearer hive_live_... (legacy alias x-api-key also works).
• One key, least privilege: keys are scoped to your plan's rate limit and credits. Rotate or revoke from the dashboard; never commit a key or paste it into client-side code.

Tools & discovery

Hive's default contract is a compact five-tool root focused on evidence-backed decisions: search, schema inspection, separate read/write routers, and workflow-result validation. Agents start with compact, paginated search_tools results, load one exact hive://toolsets/{id} workflow, inspect get_api_endpoint_schema, then call invoke_api_endpoint for reads or invoke_stateful_endpoint after explicit approval for a Hive-native state change. validate_task_result checks the final envelope and receipt structure; it requires claim-to-receipt citations and canonical phase coverage, but cannot make invented receipt data authentic.

The long-tail catalog remains discoverable behind that workflow surface: 615 callable tools across 10 categories.

Every exact workflow publishes a default and maximum material-call budget, phases, fallback condition, and stop conditions. Agents stop once the requested decision is supported and call a fallback only to resolve a material gap, unavailable source, staleness concern, or disagreement.

Clients that want a smaller, scoped tool surface can connect to a category endpoint directly, e.g. https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/hive_market_data/mcp (one per category). Public catalog overview: www.hiveintelligence.xyz/tools/live-catalog. Authenticated REST catalog: https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/api/v1/tools.

Security & trust

Crypto answers are only useful if they're trustworthy. Hive is built for that:

• Provenance on every response. Tool results carry a server-minted receipt with provider, Hive retrieval/observation time, cache age, source state, runtime status, server/build version, and SHA-256 input/result self-checks. The digests are not signatures or a retained lookup service. observed_at is Hive's first-observation/original cache time, not necessarily the upstream event time; cache_age_ms: 0 only means newly retrieved by Hive. source reports the delivery state, while origin_source prese
