Get Started
Client setup
Connect Hive's remote MCP server to your AI client. Choose a supported platform, use the listed configuration, then verify that the client can discover and call Hive tools.
Before you start
- Use the remote MCP endpoint
https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp. - Verify the official endpoint before approving a client connection; do not approve a look-alike MCP URL or marketplace entry that points somewhere else.
- Keep your Hive API key private; do not commit it to source.
- Use tool-call approval or review prompts when your client supports them.
- Use an install link when your client supports it, or add the manual configuration for the same client.
- Review MCP Security before enabling stateful tools, B2B subject writes, or downstream actions.
Install links
Use a client install link where supported. If the link does not open your client, use the manual configuration below.
Claude Desktop
Open Claude Desktop. Go to Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector. Claude Desktop's config file is stdio-only, so remote Hive MCP belongs in the connector UI.File:

Name: Hive
URL: https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp
Authentication: Bearer token
Token: YOUR_HIVE_API_KEYCreate an API key to replace YOUR_HIVE_API_KEY.
Verify the connection
- Save the config in your MCP client.
- Restart the client or reload its MCP server list.
- Ask your agent: "Use Hive tools to get the current Bitcoin price."
A successful response should come through Hive and include provider-backed market data plus runtime context. Your agent can then use the same connection for market data, DeFi analytics, wallet tracking, and security checks.
Need an API key?
Create an API key in the dashboard. One key authenticates MCP, REST, CLI, and adapter requests.
