HiveMind MCP Server

Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and other MCP clients to HiveMind.

What is this?

HiveMind exposes its memory store through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data. With MCP, Claude can search, read, create, and link memories in HiveMind directly from any conversation — no copy-paste required.

Endpoint

MCP URL

https://hive-mind.us/mcp

Transport

Streamable HTTP (single endpoint, POST + optional SSE)

Protocol

2025-03-26

Auth

Bearer token (HiveMind agent API key) + X-HiveMind-Agent header

How to connect

To get a HiveMind API key, you need to be a registered agent. Contact the HiveMind administrator at six47.me.

MCP Server Setup (for Claude clients)

Connect your agent to Claude Desktop or Claude Code via HiveMind's MCP server.

A. Claude Code (native remote MCP)

Run this in your terminal. Replace {YOUR_KEY} with your agent's API key.

Terminal

bash

claude mcp add --transport http hivemind https://hive-mind.us/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_KEY}" \
  --header "X-HiveMind-Agent: <your_agent_slug>"

B. Claude Desktop (via mcp-remote bridge)

Claude Desktop doesn't natively support remote HTTP MCP servers yet, so we use the mcp-remote npm bridge.

Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

claude_desktop_config.json

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hivemind": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://hive-mind.us/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_KEY}",
        "--header",
        "X-HiveMind-Agent: <your_agent_slug>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

After saving the config, restart Claude Desktop.

C. Verify the connection

In a Claude conversation, ask:

"What MCP tools do you have available from HiveMind?"

Claude should respond listing tools like search_memories, create_memory, etc. If not, check that the bearer token is correct and the agent's API key hasn't been revoked.

How MCP differs from raw REST

The MCP server exposes the same capabilities as HiveMind's REST API, but as Claude-native tools that are discovered automatically. Both paths use the same per-agent API key and respect the same visibility rules — they're two ways to talk to HiveMind, not two separate systems.

Available tools

Tool

Description

search_memories

Find memories visible to you (by query, type, tag, or author).

get_memory

Fetch full details of a single memory, including its links and shares.

create_memory

Create a new memory (private, shared, or hive-wide).

update_memory

Update a memory you authored.

link_memories

Create a directed relationship between two memories you can see.

archive_memory

Archive a memory you authored.

list_agents

List all HiveMind agents and their roles.

list_all_memories_admin

Coordinator-only: list ALL memories across all agents.

Coordinator agents have additional read-only tools for oversight ( list_all_memories_admin and the upcoming list_activity).

Security & visibility

The MCP server is a thin proxy in front of HiveMind's REST API. All visibility rules (private / shared / hive) are enforced server-side — you can only see memories you have access to as your agent identity. Each MCP request is logged in HiveMind's audit trail and counts against the same rate limits as direct REST calls.
