Hive MCP server for AI agents and assistants

Securely connect your AI agents and chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc) with Hive MCP or direct API to manage actions, track projects, query workflows, and update workspace metadata through natural language.

Api Key

Hive is a project management and team collaboration platform for actions, projects, workflows, resources, and workspace metadata. It helps teams plan work, track progress, and keep collaboration moving in one shared workspace.

SETUP GUIDE

Connect Hive MCP Tool with your Agent

1

Install Composio

typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/mcp @ai-sdk/openai
Install the Composio SDK and your agent framework
2

Create a session with MCP enabled

typescript
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";

const composio = new Composio();
const { mcp } = await composio.create("your-user-id", {
  toolkits: ["hive"],
  mcp: true,
});
Create a session scoped to Hive and read its MCP URL and headers
3

Connect your agent to the MCP server

typescript
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai";

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: { type: "http", url: mcp.url, headers: mcp.headers },
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-5.6-sol"),
  tools: await client.tools(),
  prompt: "List all open Hive actions assigned to me this week",
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
});

console.log(text);
await client.close();
Pass the session's MCP URL and headers to your agent and run a Hive request
SETUP GUIDE

Connect Hive API Tool with your Agent

1

Install Composio

typescript
npm install @composio/core @composio/openai openai
Install the Composio SDK, the OpenAI provider, and the OpenAI SDK
2

Create a Composio session

typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from "@composio/openai";

const composio = new Composio({ provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider() });
const client = new OpenAI();

const session = await composio.create("your-user-id", { toolkits: ["hive"] });
const tools = await session.tools();
Initialize Composio with the OpenAI Responses provider and create a session scoped to Hive
3

Run Hive tools with your agent

typescript
let response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
  tools,
  input: [{ role: "user", content: "List all open Hive actions assigned to me this week" }],
});

while (response.output.some((o) => o.type === "function_call")) {
  const outputs = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(session, response.output);
  response = await client.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools,
    previous_response_id: response.id,
    input: outputs,
  });
}

console.log(response.output_text);
Send a request, execute the Hive tool calls through the session, and print the final answer

Why Use Composio?

AI Native Hive Integration

  • Supports both Hive MCP and direct API based integrations
  • Structured, LLM-friendly schemas for reliable Hive action, project, and workflow execution
  • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Hive workspace data

Managed Auth

  • Securely store and manage Hive API key credentials without hard-coding secrets
  • Central place to manage, scope, and revoke Hive access for agents and users
  • Per user and per environment credentials so your development and production workspaces stay separate

Agent Optimized Design

  • Tools are tuned using real error and success rates to improve Hive task reliability over time
  • Comprehensive execution logs so you always know what Hive action ran, when, and on whose behalf

Enterprise Grade Security

  • Fine-grained RBAC so you control which agents and users can access Hive
  • Scoped, least privilege access to Hive projects, actions, resources, and workspace metadata
  • Full audit trail of agent actions to support review and compliance
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes, Hive requires you to configure your own API key credentials. Once set up, Composio handles secure credential storage and API request handling for you.

Yes! Composio's Tool Router enables agents to use multiple toolkits. Learn more.

Yes. Composio is SOC 2 Type II compliant and is built to keep your Hive connection and credentials secure. OAuth tokens and API keys are encrypted, and sensitive customer data is protected at rest and in transit.

Composio also undergoes independent security testing and continuously monitors its systems for security threats. You can review the latest reports and policies in the Composio Trust Center.

Composio maintains and updates all toolkit integrations automatically, so your agents always work with the latest API versions.

Create the key in your Hive account settings, then paste it once on Composio's connection page. Composio stores it encrypted and uses it only for the Hive actions your agent runs. Nobody else in your workspace can read it, and you can revoke it inside Hive at any time.

When you connect a Hive account through Composio, every action runs under that account, so anything the agent creates, sends, or changes shows up in Hive as done by you. Keep an approval step in your prompt for actions with side effects, such as sending or deleting, and have the agent draft first.

Whatever the credentials you connect allow inside Hive. If Hive lets you scope a key to specific permissions, create a scoped one so the agent can only do what you intend. You can revoke the key inside Hive at any time.

Yes. Composio supports multiple connected accounts for the same app, and that works in Claude, ChatGPT, or any other assistant you connect through Composio. Give each Hive connection a name such as work or personal, and the assistant uses the one you mention in the request. Each account keeps its own credentials and nothing is merged.

The connection stops working the moment Hive rejects the old key. Create a new key in Hive and reconnect the account from the Composio dashboard or by asking your agent to reconnect Hive. Nothing else changes.

Composio's free Hobby plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month with no credit card, which covers most personal Hive use. Paid plans add higher limits and team features. Your Hive plan and its API limits still apply as usual.

Built-in connectors usually give one AI access to a limited set of apps. Many people use Composio because it lets their AI connect to more apps than it normally supports, or connect to multiple accounts for the same app (e.g. connect Claude to multiple Hive accounts).

With Composio, you connect Hive once and then use it across different AI assistants without setting it up separately in each one. Connect your apps to Composio once, then connect Composio to whichever AI you use, whether that's Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes, or your own custom assistant.
