Hive Agent Skills
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.
Install the skill pack
The recommended installer configures Hive MCP and copies the bundled skills into clients that support local skill directories:
npx -y hive-intelligence@latest init --all --browser
What it does:
- Runs PKCE browser auth and stores your key in
~/.config/hive/credentials.json. - Registers Hive MCP in detected clients such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI, and prints the UI connector details for ChatGPT Desktop.
- Copies Hive skill folders into
~/.claude/skills/and~/.cursor/skills/where those clients can load them directly. - Prints manual connector instructions for UI-only clients such as ChatGPT Desktop.
Headless environments can skip browser auth and provide the key through HIVE_API_KEY:
npx -y hive-intelligence@latest init --all
export HIVE_API_KEY=hive_live_...
For client-specific setup, use the install guide or the one-command installer page.
Runtime sources
| Source | Use it for |
|---|---|
hive://skills | Runtime skill metadata during an MCP session |
hive://toolsets | Task-routing maps before choosing exact tools |
hive://task-canaries | Representative calls for validating workflow coverage |
/skills/index.json | Public JSON mirror for crawlers and non-MCP agents |
/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md | Install-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:
hive doctor
Then verify the live catalog:
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, 348 wrapped provider tools, 7 runtime resources, 3 prompts, 11 task toolsets, and 16 public skill packs.
