Tools

This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.

Environment variables

Name	Description
`HIVE_MODE` Optional	auto (default) asks the Hive app and falls back to the local store only when the app is unreachable; local never touches the network; remote refuses to fall back.
`HIVE_DB` Optional	Path to the local memory database. Defaults to ~/.memory-hive/hive.db. Only used when the local store answers.
`HIVE_AGENT_ID` Optional	Agent id issued by your own Hive app. Only needed for calls the app serves (HIVE_MODE=auto with the app running, or remote). Not required to use the local store.
`HIVE_AGENT_TOKEN` Optional, secret	Access token issued by your own Hive app when the agent is registered. Only needed for calls the app serves.
`HIVE_MCP_URL` Optional	Hive app MCP endpoint. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8768/mcp
