Connect over MCP

One hosted MCP endpoint for cited company context, a shared work ledger, and durable writeback.

Last updated 2026-08-27

The canonical Streamable HTTP endpoint is:

https://mcp.hivebase.ai

It exposes the launch catalog from PUBLIC_API_MANIFEST plus three resources:

  • hivebase://context/company-primer
  • hivebase://capabilities
  • hivebase://skills/hivebase

Current tools (manifest insertion order):

  • context.brief
  • context.search
  • context.sync
  • context.source.ingest
  • context.remember
  • context.resolve
  • decision.search
  • decision.record
  • task.search
  • task.get
  • task.create
  • task.status.set
  • task.post
  • task.mailbox.read
  • task.needs_you
  • receipt.get
  • engineering.brief
  • engineering.incidents.list
  • engineering.incident.get
  • linear.issue.title.update
claude mcp add --transport http hivebase https://mcp.hivebase.ai

ChatGPT citation-oriented connections use https://mcp.hivebase.ai/chatgpt/mcp, which exposes only search and fetch aliases backed by the core retrieval contract.

The server supports the modern 2026-07-28 protocol and an official stateless 2025-era fallback. Tool discovery is useful but not a correctness dependency: the public hot-path tools complete the continuity and work-ledger journey without deferred tool search.

Agent-writable work ledger

With the task:read and task:write scopes, any supported MCP host can use the same canonical board:

  1. Read current work with task.search and task.get.
  2. Create or update work with stable idempotency keys.
  3. Append progress through task.post; posts do not page a human.
  4. Poll task.mailbox.read for human steering. This is a receipted pull, not a push channel.
  5. Use task.needs_you only for a real blocker. External attention requests enter quarantine and never land directly in Focus.

Attribution is trustworthy at the credential/connection level. A bot name supplied by a host remains a self-claim unless that host exposes a separately verifiable bot identity.

After connecting, call context.brief or read the company-primer resource. Logged-in users can also add Cursor, Claude Desktop, Conductor, ChatGPT, and Linear Agent from Settings → MCP connections without pasting JSON or config.
