Hive Agent Skills

Written by , Product docsLast updated

Hive ships a first-party skill pack alongside the managed MCP server. Skills teach an agent how to use Hive; the MCP server still performs the live data calls.

Use this page when you want the human-readable index. Agents can read the runtime resource hive://skills, the public JSON mirror at /skills/index.json, or the individual Markdown mirrors linked below.


Use the skill pack

Hive publishes installable skills, public website mirrors, and runtime MCP resources. Use the public skills mirror when your agent supports npx skills; use hive://skills when the agent is already inside a Hive MCP session.

Install every Hive skill with the skills CLI:

bash
npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills

Preview the available skills without installing:

bash
npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills --list

Install one focused skill:

bash
npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills --skill hive-token-diligence --yes

The current published Hive CLI also initializes local credentials and can install supported local agent resources:

bash
npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive init --all --browser

Headless environments can provide the key through HIVE_API_KEY:

bash
export HIVE_API_KEY=hive_live_...

For client-specific MCP setup, use the install guide. For CLI setup and config-snippet commands, use CLI and Agent Skills Setup.


Current distribution

  • github.com/hive-intel/hive-skills - public installable skills mirror for npx skills.
  • hive://skills - runtime skill metadata inside an MCP session.
  • /skills/index.json - public JSON index of the skill pack.
  • /skills/*.md - individual skill Markdown mirrors for AI crawlers and humans.
  • /agent-onboarding/SKILL.md - agent install decision tree.
  • npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive init --all --browser - full local setup with browser auth and supported agent resources.

Agent Skills are distribution and workflow guidance. MCP is the execution surface for live calls, REST is the backend HTTP surface, and the CLI is the local terminal surface.


Runtime sources

npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skillsInstall the full Hive skill pack into supported agent environments
npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills --skill hive-token-diligence --yesInstall one focused Hive workflow skill
hive://skillsRuntime skill metadata during an MCP session
hive://toolsetsTask-routing maps before choosing exact tools
hive://task-canariesRepresentative calls for validating workflow coverage
/skills/index.jsonPublic JSON mirror for crawlers and non-MCP agents
/agent-onboarding/SKILL.mdInstall-path decision tree for autonomous agents

Agents should prefer runtime resources over cached docs. The root workflow is: read hive://toolsets or call search_tools, inspect the schema with get_api_endpoint_schema, then execute with invoke_api_endpoint.

Verify the install

Run the local health check:

bash
hive doctor

Then verify the live catalog:

bash
curl -X GET "https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/api/v1/tools?limit=5" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_HIVE_API_KEY"

The current production snapshot exposes 13 root discovery tools, 351 categorized provider tools, 18 Hive-native stateful tools, 7 runtime resources, 3 prompts, 12 task toolsets, and 17 public skill packs. The full callable catalog is 369 tools.
