hive-agent-mcp

The built-in hyperhive MCP server every agent gets by default. Runs a long-lived streamable-http listener (the hive-mcp-http systemd unit) that claude reconnects to each turn via --mcp-config — this avoids the per-turn stdio re-registration race that a spawned-per-turn server would hit. HTTP is the sole transport; there is no stdio mode here.

When to use it

This is where the core hyperhive tool surface lives: send, recv, ask/answer, remind, get_loose_ends, set_status, get_agent_meta, lifecycle (kill/start/restart/update on direct children), scheduling, and the approval-request tools. Reach for this crate when you're adding or changing a built-in tool rather than an extraMcpServers add-on — those are separate stdio bridges (see hive-bash-mcp, hive-matrix-mcp) that dial the harness socket or their own daemon instead of living here.

Shape

• mcp/ — the tool surface itself: one handler per tool, dispatch through client.rs back into the hyperhive broker (/run/hive/mcp.sock) or, for loose-ends v2 (todos/reminders), the in-agent socket the hive-agent harness serves.
• client.rs — socket client to the hyperhive broker.
• send_allow.rs — enforces the per-agent hyperhive.allowedRecipients allow-list on send/ask.
• paths.rs — socket + state path resolution shared with the harness's own paths.rs conventions.

Sibling of hive-agent (the serve loop that renders the --mcp-config blob pointing here). Standalone bin crate so the always-on MCP server doesn't need to link the whole turn-loop lib.
