hive-intel/hive-crypto-mcp

MCP server and CLI for cryptocurrency, Web3, and financial market analytics. Access 389 tools across 14 categories from your AI assistant or terminal.

Install

npm install -g hive-intelligence

This gives you two commands:

Command	Purpose
hive-intelligence	MCP stdio server for AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.)
hive	CLI tool for terminal usage

Note: hive-intelligence is an MCP stdio server — running it directly opens a stdio transport that waits for JSON-RPC messages. It is not interactive and does not accept subcommands. For terminal usage, use the hive CLI.

Run without installing

The CLI is a separate bin in the same package, so with npx you must select it explicitly via -p:

# Run the CLI via npx (note: -p selects the package, `hive` is the bin)
HIVE_API_KEY=hive_live_... npx -y -p hive-intelligence hive --help
HIVE_API_KEY=hive_live_... npx -y -p hive-intelligence hive market price --ids bitcoin --vs usd

# Plain `npx -y hive-intelligence` launches the MCP stdio server, not the CLI.

API Key

An API key is required. Get one at hiveintelligence.xyz and set it as an environment variable:

export HIVE_API_KEY="hive_live_..."

Or use the CLI login:

hive auth login
