# Hive Intelligence

> Live crypto and macro market data for AI agents. Every answer with its source, its age, and a receipt.
>
> Interactive MCP clients connect with only `https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp` and complete OAuth in the browser. API keys are the explicit fallback for headless agents, REST, CLI, and server-side automation.
>
> Audience: AI agents, agent frameworks, and developer tooling that integrate Hive's MCP, REST, or CLI surfaces. Human readers wanting the same content can use the on-page docs at the linked URLs below.

## Key Facts

- Live crypto and macro market data for AI agents.
- Every answer with its source, its age, and a receipt.
- Interactive MCP setup is URL-only with browser OAuth; API keys are for headless agents, REST, CLI, and server-side automation
- Founded in 2024 by Rishabh Narang (CEO, ex-derivatives trader, previously founded Sharpe Labs in 2021)
- Headless and API workflows use one Hive key instead of stitching together Alchemy, CoinGecko, DeFiLlama, GoPlus, CCXT, Helius, Hyperliquid, Open Data Fetch, Tenderly, Moralis, Hive Archive, RWA Perps, Polymarket, Alternative.me, Blockchain.com. See https://docs.hiveintelligence.xyz/concepts/data-sources for the full normalized provider inventory
- 10 category-scoped MCP endpoints (Market Data & Price, On-Chain DEX & Pool Analytics, Portfolio & Wallet, Token & Contract Data, DeFi Protocol Analytics, NFT Analytics, Security & Risk Analysis, Network & Infrastructure, Search & Discovery, Prediction Markets)
- 8 compact root MCP tools (`search_tools`, `get_api_endpoint_schema`, `invoke_api_endpoint`, `invoke_stateful_endpoint`, `validate_task_result` plus hero tools `get_token_price`, `check_token_safety`, `get_wallet_portfolio`) route agents to 525 callable tools
- 506 provider tools are exposed through the 10 category MCP endpoints; 19 Hive-native monitor, memory, alert, report, B2B subject, and feedback tools bring the full callable catalog to 525. Canonical count comes from authenticated REST discovery at https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/api/v1/tools
- Documented MCP client or API-path support for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, OpenAI Responses API, Grok, Codex CLI, Kimi Code CLI, Qwen Code, Gemini CLI
- Agent skills install through `npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills` or the CLI setup path `npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive init --all --browser`
- Pricing: Free (free, No API key needed to start), Starter ($49/mo, 100,000 monthly credits), Pro ($149/mo, 500,000 monthly credits), Enterprise (custom)
- Investors / advisor lineage (shared with Sharpe Labs): Google Cloud, NVIDIA, AWS, Anthropic, Animoca Brands, Morningstar Ventures, GBV Capital, Contango Digital
- Distinct from Hive.io (blockchain), Hive.com (project management), and HIVE Digital (bitcoin mining)
