Hive Intelligence MCP Skill#

Use this skill to run Hive Intelligence MCP operations through uxc.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared protocol discovery, output parsing, and generic auth handling.

Prerequisites#

• uxc is installed and available in PATH.
• Network access to https://hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp.
• Access to the official Hive MCP documentation:
  • https://hiveintelligence.xyz/crypto-market-data-mcp

Scope#

This skill covers the official remote Hive MCP surface for:

• category-level endpoint discovery
• crypto market and onchain data discovery
• wallet and portfolio lookup workflows
• security and risk endpoint discovery
• schema inspection for underlying API endpoints
• endpoint invocation through Hive's MCP tool layer

This skill does not cover:

• direct replacement of first-party provider integrations
• assuming one Hive endpoint has the same data quality as the underlying provider skill
• write operations without separate explicit review

Positioning#

Hive is an official remote MCP convenience layer.

Use it when a user wants one broad crypto MCP entrypoint quickly.

Do not treat Hive as a substitute for direct provider integrations like DexScreener, Helius, Blocknative, or other first-party skills where long-term provider coverage quality matters.

Endpoint#

Use the official Hive MCP endpoint:

• https://hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp

Authentication#

The public help-first flow for this skill works without a local auth bootstrap.

If Hive later introduces auth for higher-tier access, verify the runtime error and bind credentials before extending this skill.

Core Workflow#

1. Use the fixed link command by default:
   • command -v hive-mcp-cli
   • If missing, create it: uxc link hive-mcp-cli https://hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp
   • hive-mcp-cli -h
2. Discover categories first:
   • hive-mcp-cli get_market_and_price_endpoints
   • hive-mcp-cli get_onchain_dex_pool_endpoints
   • hive-mcp-cli get_portfolio_wallet_endpoints
   • hive-mcp-cli get_security_risk_endpoints
3. Inspect endpoint schema before invoking:
   • hive-mcp-cli get_api_endpoint_schema endpoint=get_token_price
   • hive-mcp-cli get_api_endpoint_schema endpoint=get_wallet_portfolio
4. Invoke only after confirming the schema:
   • hive-mcp-cli invoke_api_endpoint endpoint_name=get_token_price args:='{"symbol":"BTC"}'
   • hive-mcp-cli invoke_api_endpoint endpoint_name=get_wallet_portfolio args:='{"address":"0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045"}'

Recommended Discovery Operations#

• get_market_and_price_endpoints
• get_onchain_dex_pool_endpoints
• get_portfolio_wallet_endpoints
• get_token_contract_endpoints
• get_security_risk_endpoints
• get_network_infrastructure_endpoints

Guardrails#

• Keep automation on the JSON output envelope; do not rely on --text.
• Parse stable fields first: ok, kind, protocol, data, error.
• Treat Hive as a convenience aggregation layer, not as the canonical source when a direct provider skill already exists.
• Always inspect a target endpoint schema with get_api_endpoint_schema before calling invoke_api_endpoint.
• Keep invoke_api_endpoint payloads narrow and explicit; do not guess large nested arg objects.
• If a workflow becomes repetitive on one underlying provider surface, prefer a dedicated first-party skill over routing everything through Hive indefinitely.
• hive-mcp-cli <operation> ... is equivalent to uxc https://hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp <operation> ....
