About Hive Intelligence

Twilio for voice. Stripe for payments. Plaid for banking. Hive for crypto. A managed MCP server, REST API, and CLI that connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, Windsurf, and any MCP client to live crypto prices, wallet positions, DeFi activity, and token risk. Built for machines, not dashboards.

Why We Built This

Twilio unified voice APIs. Stripe unified payment APIs. Plaid unified banking data APIs. Every major infrastructure category went through the same transition: dozens of fragmented providers, then one managed layer that handled the integration for you.

Crypto data for AI agents is at that transition point now. If you are building a research agent, a trading bot, a wallet analyzer, or a security scanner, you need data from multiple providers - prices, DeFi yields, wallet balances, token security, DEX activity, prediction markets. Hive gives your agent all of that through one connection.

What Hive Is Today

  • Hundreds of live tools across 10 categories, normalized behind one API. See Data Sources for the full list of upstream providers.
  • MCP endpoints for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, Windsurf, and LangChain.
  • REST API for any backend or scripted workflow.
  • CLI for terminal access and automation.
  • Dashboard to manage keys, track usage, and control access.

Team

Hive Intelligence is built by a small team of engineers and ex-traders who have been working on crypto data infrastructure since 2021. The same team operates Sharpe Terminal, a derivatives-focused analytics platform for professional crypto traders.

  • Rishabh Narang - CEO. Ex-derivatives trader. Founded Sharpe Labs in 2021 and previously built cross-exchange derivatives and analytics infrastructure at Sharpe Terminal. Also on X.

Hive is supported by the same investors and advisors behind Sharpe Labs, including Google Cloud, NVIDIA, AWS, Anthropic, Animoca Brands, Morningstar Ventures, GBV Capital, and Contango Digital.

Not to Be Confused With

Hive Intelligence (hiveintelligence.xyz) is distinct from Hive.io (the Hive blockchain and its native token HIVE), Hive.com (the team-productivity and project-management platform), and HIVE Digital (the Canadian-listed bitcoin and Ethereum mining company trading under ticker HIVE). We are a crypto-data infrastructure company serving AI agents — none of the above.

Who Builds With Hive

  • Research agents that monitor markets, flag outliers, and summarize what happened.
  • Trading tools that compare yields, check protocol health, and surface opportunities.
  • Wallet analyzers that build portfolio views across chains, tokens, and DeFi positions.
  • Security scanners that check token safety, simulate transactions, and detect phishing.
  • Prediction market trackers that aggregate event data and trade flow.

Where To Start

Public Channels

  • GitHub for repositories and SDK access.
  • Telegram for support and product discussion.
  • Contact for support, billing, and security routing.

Our Vision

The data layer for crypto AI agents should work like Stripe works for payments - one integration, every provider, always current. We are building the unified infrastructure so teams can focus on what their agent does, not on wiring up data sources.

Our Mission

Give every AI agent one connection to every crypto data source it needs. Standardized access, provider-managed quality, and a catalog that grows without requiring teams to change their integration.

Our Focus

  • MCP-native access - first-class support for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and every MCP client.
  • Live catalog discovery - agents find and use tools at runtime without hardcoded configs.
  • Provider-quality data - we maintain integrations so teams get the best data from each source.
