Your New AI Tech Stack: Hive MCP Server is Live

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is like a universal translator for AI assistants. Instead of each AI tool needing custom integrations for every service, MCP provides a standard way for AI assistants to:

• Safely access external data

• Perform actions on your behalf

• Stay up-to-date with real-time information

How does the Hive MCP Server work?

1. Secure Authentication: Uses API keys to ensure only authorized access

2. Auto-Generated Tools: Automatically converts Hive’s GraphQL operations into MCP tools

3. Real-time Access: Direct connection to your Hive workspace data

4. Controlled Permissions: Only whitelisted operations are exposed for security

What is the Hive MCP Server?

The Hive MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants and other applications to interact with Hive’s powerful project management platform. MCP is an open standard that enables secure, controlled integration between AI tools and various data sources and services.

Think of the MCP server as a bridge that translates Hive’s GraphQL API into a standardized format that AI assistants can understand and use. This allows AI tools to:

• Read and create actions (tasks)

• Manage projects and workspaces

• Update user assignments and priorities

• Access dashboards and analytics

• And much more!

Basically, this allows you to port AI-related commands back and forth between Hive and other tools with a few clicks.

Prerequisites for Use

Before you start, you’ll need three things:

1. A Hive workspace and account

2. Hive API Key

3. MCP-compatible client (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, or custom client)

Step one requires a Hive workspace, which you can create here if you do not have one currently.

Adding via OAuth

If you want to access via OAuth instead of API key, you can also paste the following into your MCP configuration:

Your application of choice will show this button, which you can click to “Connect,” and will be prompted to sign in via browser. If you’re already signed in on browser, it will connect automatically.
