Introduction
Quick Start Guide
Get connected to the current Hive server in a few minutes.
Option 1: REST API
This is the fastest way to prove your auth, endpoint, and payload shape.
curl -X POST https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/api/v1/execute \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_HIVE_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"tool": "get_price",
"args": {
"ids": "bitcoin,ethereum",
"vs_currencies": "usd"
}
}'
The current REST payload keys are tool and args.
Option 2: Root MCP Endpoint
Use the root endpoint when your client supports MCP and you want access to the full discovery flow.
Endpoint: POST https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp
Useful root discovery surfaces:
tools/listfor the compact discovery layerhive://toolsfor the full live tool inventoryget_api_endpoint_schemafor parameter lookup
Example MCP call:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "get_price",
"arguments": {
"ids": "bitcoin",
"vs_currencies": "usd"
}
},
"id": 1
}
Option 3: Category-scoped MCP Endpoint
Use a category endpoint when you want a smaller direct tool surface.
Example:
curl -X POST https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/hive_market_data/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_HIVE_API_KEY" \
-H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","params":{},"id":1}'
Option 4: CLI
The safest CLI workflow is direct tool execution against the live catalog.
npx hive-intel tools list
npx hive-intel tools info get_price
npx hive-intel tools call get_price --args '{"ids":"bitcoin","vs_currencies":"usd"}'
Verify Tool Discovery
curl -X GET "https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/api/v1/tools?search=price&limit=5" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_HIVE_API_KEY"
