Hive Intelligence MCP aggregates nine crypto data sources behind one API key with 369 tools and per-call provenance, well suited for agents needing broad crypto context; the server itself is closed-source and managed, priced by credits, and its security outputs should be interpreted cautiously.

Hive Intelligence MCP is a hosted crypto data MCP server that normalizes nine upstream providers — Alchemy, CoinGecko, DeFiLlama, Moralis, Codex, GoPlus, Helius, Tenderly, and CCXT — into 369 tools across 10 categories covering market data, DeFi, wallets, token security, DEX flows, NFTs, prediction markets, and on-chain data, all behind a single API key. Every call returns provider attribution, freshness, and runtime status. It offers a hosted streamable-http endpoint and a local stdio mode via the npm package hive-intelligence. The SDK and agent skills are MIT open source; the MCP server itself is a managed, proprietary service.

Setup

  1. Get an API key at hiveintelligence.xyz/dashboard/keys (free Demo plan, no card required). 2. Hosted endpoint: run claude mcp add --transport http hive https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer hive_live_..." in Claude Code, or add the url + headers block to mcp. for Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, or Gemini CLI, replacing the placeholder key. For Claude Desktop, use Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector with the URL and Authorization header. 3. Local stdio: npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive with the HIVE_API_KEY environment variable.

{"mcpServers":{"hive":{"url":"https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer hive_live_..."}}}}

Fit and risk

Best for

  • AI agent developers needing broad crypto context — prices, DeFi, wallets, security — from multiple providers in one place
  • Teams doing crypto due diligence with Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or other remote-HTTP-MCP clients
  • Integrators who want one API key instead of separate upstream provider credentials

Not for

  • Users who need to self-host or modify the MCP server source (the server is closed-source and managed)
  • Users seeking unlimited free usage (credit-based pricing applies)
  • General-purpose tasks unrelated to crypto

Required permissions

  • Hive API key (Authorization Bearer or X-API-Key header, optional secret)
  • Optional upstream provider keys (COINGECKO_PRO_API_KEY, ALCHEMY_API_KEY, HELIUS_API_KEY, MORALIS_API_KEY, TENDERLY_API_KEY, GOPLUS_APP_KEY/SECRET, CODEX_API_KEY, etc.)

Risks and side effects

  • Credit-based billing: each tool call consumes credits and rate limits apply
  • Security scores are not investment advice; honeypot/rugpull results may be incomplete or lag
  • On-chain text (token names, memos) should be treated as untrusted input with prompt-injection risk
  • Data may come from cached or degraded sources; check provenance and freshness labels in responses
  • Leaked API keys can be abused; keep keys server-side and rotate them

Troubleshooting

  1. Verify the API key is valid, credits remain, and the plan's rate limit is not exceeded
  2. If the remote connection fails, confirm the client supports Streamable HTTP and API-key headers; Claude Desktop requires Custom Connectors, not claude_desktop_config.
  3. VS Code configs must explicitly set type: "http"
  4. For local stdio, run hive doctor or hive status; confirm HIVE_API_KEY is set
  5. If data looks wrong, check the provider attribution and timestamps on the response
