Overview

hive-intel/hive-crypto-mcp MCP server connects AI clients to Hive Intelligence's hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint or a local stdio process for crypto and Web3 analysis. It combines data from providers covering markets, wallets, DeFi, token security, DEXs, NFTs, and blockchain networks, while returning source, freshness, cache, fallback, status, and receipt metadata for material calls. Use it for evidence-backed crypto research, portfolio and protocol analysis, transaction or contract investigation, and related on-chain workflows. Hosted access supports OAuth or API-key authentication; local execution uses optional upstream provider keys.

Use cases

  • Research crypto markets with cited freshness and provider metadata
  • Analyze wallets, portfolios, tokens, and NFT activity
  • Evaluate DeFi protocols, yields, bridges, and treasuries
  • Check token, contract, and address security signals
  • Investigate exchange, network, simulation, and transaction data

Key features

  • Hosted Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint
  • Local stdio deployment with provider keys
  • Unified crypto and Web3 analytics
  • Source, freshness, cache, and runtime receipts
  • OAuth and bearer-token authentication
  • Market, wallet, DeFi, security, DEX, NFT, and network coverage

How Hive Crypto MCP works

What hive-intel/hive-crypto-mcp MCP server does

hive-intel/hive-crypto-mcp MCP server gives AI clients a single interface for crypto and Web3 data. Its coverage includes live market information, wallet and portfolio activity, DeFi metrics, token and contract security, decentralized exchange flows, NFTs, and blockchain network data.

The service aggregates eleven named upstream sources plus Open Data Fetch. These include Alchemy, CoinGecko, DeFiLlama, Moralis, GoPlus, Helius, Tenderly, CCXT, Hyperliquid, RWA Perps, and Hive Archive. Coverage varies by provider and includes areas such as prices and OHLCV, TVL and yields, EVM and Solana wallets, token risk, simulations, exchange order books, derivatives, and network activity.

How it works

The hosted deployment is available at https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp over Streamable HTTP. Clients can connect through OAuth after hosted authorization is enabled, while headless automation can send a Hive API key as a bearer token. Anonymous use is available for up to 25 material calls per IP per day; discovery, schema lookup, and validation calls are free.

A local installation runs the published hive-intelligence package as a stdio MCP process. Local mode does not use the hosted HIVE_API_KEY; instead, it can call upstream services directly when their keys are configured. Providers without credentials remain discoverable and report a classified missing_key runtime status.

Material executions include provider information, Hive retrieval time, first-observation or original cache time, cache age, fallback state, runtime status, and a unique receipt. This metadata helps an agent distinguish current, cached, or fallback results.

Setup and configuration

For hosted use, add the endpoint to an MCP client using its remote HTTP configuration. The README provides configurations for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI. Interactive clients should begin with URL-only OAuth discovery. Headless clients can store a key securely and send Authorization: Bearer $HIVE_API_KEY; the legacy x-api-key header is also supported.

For local stdio use, configure npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive as the command. The supported provider variables shown in the setup example are COINGECKO_DEMO_API_KEY, ALCHEMY_API_KEY, HELIUS_API_KEY, and MORALIS_API_KEY. All are described as optional, so available coverage depends on the credentials supplied.

Tools and capabilities

The hive-intel/hive-crypto-mcp MCP server exposes one normalized tool surface rather than requiring separate client connections for each provider. Supported capability areas include:

  • Market prices, OHLCV, exchanges, and tokenized real-world asset markets
  • EVM and Solana wallet, token, NFT, transfer, and portfolio data
  • DeFi TVL, yield pools, protocol metrics, bridges, and treasuries
  • Token security, honeypot checks, contract risk, and malicious-address reputation
  • DEX, centralized exchange, derivatives, funding, leverage, and borrow-rate data
  • EVM simulation, gas, traces, contract decoding, and transaction analysis
  • Solana RPC, compressed NFT, parsed-event, and priority-fee data

Limitations and notes

Hosted anonymous access is quota-limited, and authenticated usage is governed by the selected plan's rate limits and credits. Local mode requires the relevant upstream credentials for provider-backed features, although keyless providers can still be used. API keys should remain in secret storage and must not be placed in install links, shared configurations, screenshots, repositories, or client-side code. The local package communicates over JSON-RPC stdio; it is not an interactive terminal command.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hive Crypto MCP

hive-intel/hive-crypto-mcp is an MCP server that connects AI clients to Hive Intelligence's hosted or local crypto data workflow. Its main tools cover market, wallet, DeFi, token security, DEX, NFT, simulation, exchange, and network analytics, with source, freshness, runtime, and receipt metadata for material calls.

Install it either by adding the hosted URL to a remote MCP client or by running the published CLI through npx as a local stdio server. The hosted endpoint is https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp; local configuration can include optional provider API keys.

Yes, it works with Cursor through a URL-only MCP configuration using https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp. The README also provides a Cursor setup link and supports OAuth for the hosted deployment after authorization is enabled.

Hosted use can work without a key within the anonymous allowance, or it can use a Hive API key for authenticated access. Local stdio mode does not use HIVE_API_KEY; it accepts optional upstream keys such as Alchemy, CoinGecko Demo, Helius, and Moralis.
