## Description
Manage a 5dive agent fleet from any MCP client: file tasks, message and inspect agents, and read the fleet digest. Thin adapter over the 5dive CLI.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **task_create** — File a task in the shared queue (title, body, priority, assignee, parent).
- **task_show** — Full detail for one task by id (status, body, result, subtasks, blockers).
- **task_list** — List tasks (open by default; filter by status / assignee).
- **agent_send** — Send a message to another agent on the fleet.
- **agent_list** — List every agent: type, channels, model, live state.
- **digest_get** — Fleet daily standup digest (`window: "7d"` for the weekly view).

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "5dive-mcp": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@5dive/mcp"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation

## What 5dive-ai/5dive-mcp does

5dive-ai/5dive-mcp MCP server connects MCP clients to a selected part of the 5dive agent-fleet CLI. It lets a model create and inspect work items, review queued tasks, contact other agents, list fleet state, and retrieve a standup-style digest. The available operations focus on coordination rather than the full 5dive command-line surface.

The package is intended for clients that support MCP over stdio, including Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline. It does not present a new fleet API or independently manage credentials; it acts as a protocol adapter around commands already provided by the local 5dive installation.

## How it works

5dive-ai/5dive-mcp MCP server launches as a local Node.js process and invokes the `5dive` executable for each tool request. Results come from the CLI's machine-readable JSON interface. Arguments are supplied as an argument array rather than through a shell, so tool values are not interpreted as shell syntax.

Because the adapter delegates to the CLI, the CLI's local authentication, permissions, and audit behavior apply. Credentials are read by 5dive itself, and the MCP process does not handle those secrets directly. Node.js 18 or newer is required, along with an installed `5dive` binary available on the system path.

## Setup and configuration

Install the MCP package with:

```bash
npx -y @5dive/mcp
```

The README also documents a global npm installation followed by the `5dive-mcp` executable. Before starting the MCP process, install the separate 5dive CLI and ensure it is available to the process. Managed 5dive machines may require root privileges; the example client configuration sets `FIVEDIVE_SUDO=1` for that case.

Configuration variables are optional because each has a default or can be omitted:

- `FIVEDIVE_BIN` selects the 5dive executable; it defaults to `5dive`.
- `FIVEDIVE_SUDO` prefixes CLI calls with `sudo` when set to `1`.
- `FIVEDIVE_TIMEOUT_MS` sets the per-call timeout and defaults to 30,000 milliseconds.

## Tools and capabilities

5dive-ai/5dive-mcp MCP server provides six tools:

- `task_create` adds a shared-queue task with a title, body, priority, assignee, and optional parent.
- `task_show` returns one task's status, content, result, subtasks, and blockers by ID.
- `task_list` lists tasks, opening with open tasks by default and supporting status and assignee filters.
- `agent_send` sends a message to another fleet agent.
- `agent_list` reports each agent's type, channels, model, and live state.
- `digest_get` retrieves the fleet's daily standup digest; a seven-day window provides the weekly view.

## Limitations and notes

The exposed tools cover only tasks, agents, messaging, and digests. Other 5dive CLI commands are outside the adapter's scope and must be run through the CLI directly. The MCP package also depends on the local CLI being installed and correctly configured; installing the npm package alone does not provide fleet access.
