Discovery is free — tools/list, dispute_check, depin_list_providers, morph reads, and insurance product listings cost nothing. Settlement calls cost: evaluator jobs (min $0.05 or 0.5%–2% of job value), compute proof verification ($0.001/proof), and DePIN match fees (0.15%). All fees settle in USDC on Base 8453.

How payments work

Free to discover. Paid to settle.

Hive uses a two-tier model: read and discovery operations are always free; write and settlement operations carry a USDC fee that settles on Base 8453. You can explore the full tool catalog, check dispute history, list DePIN providers, query the morph directory, and retrieve compliance scores without any payment method on file.

Always free

tools/list — enumerate all 38 tools
dispute__dispute_check — counterparty history
depin__depin_list_providers — browse DePIN listings
morph__morph_list_supermodels — W1–W19 directory
audit-readiness__audit_readiness_score — compliance score (10/IP/hr)
insurance-broker__insurance_products — coverage listings
All read-only morph, trade, and compute tools

Paid to settle

evaluator__evaluator_submit_job — min $0.05 or 0.5%–2% of job value
evaluator__evaluator_attest_job — on-chain attestation, EIP-3009
trade__trade_create_invoice — fee auto-computed at creation
compute-grid__computegrid_verify_proof — $0.001/proof
depin__depin_create_listing — 0.15% match fee on settlement

Settlement details

Receipts are real. Settlement is on Base (chain ID 8453). Treasury address 0x15184Bf50B3d3F52b60434f8942b7D52F2eB436E is verifiable on-chain. Hive does not custody funds for insurance or arbitration — those route directly to third-party underwriters and arbitration protocols (Kleros, UMA, Reality.eth, Nexus Mutual, Sherlock, Risk Harbor, InsurAce). USDC only. No bridging, no wrapping.

Frequently asked

Questions about Hive MCP

How do I add Hive to Cline?

Open cline_mcp_settings.json (typically in Cline’s settings directory) and add:

{"mcpServers":{"hive":{"url":"https://hive-mcp-gateway.onrender.com/mcp","transport":"streamable-http"}}}

Save the file, restart Cline, and Hive tools appear in the tool palette. The transport key is required by Cline to select Streamable-HTTP over stdio.

Does it cost money?

Discovery is always free — tools/list, dispute_check, morph reads, insurance product listings, and audit-readiness scoring cost nothing. Settlement operations carry a fee: evaluator jobs (min $0.05 or 0.5%–2% of job value depending on tier), compute proof verification ($0.001/proof), and DePIN match fees (0.15% on listing settlement). All fees settle in USDC on Base 8453. There is no subscription, no credit card gate, and no API key required to start.

What tools are available?

38 tools across 8 servers: evaluator (4), trade (5), depin (3), compute-grid (3), morph (14), insurance-broker (3), dispute (4), and audit-readiness (2). The full list is above, pulled verbatim from the live gateway via tools/list. You can also call tools/list yourself:

curl -s -X POST https://hive-mcp-gateway.onrender.com/mcp -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

What is MCP 2024-11-05?

MCP 2024-11-05 is the Model Context Protocol specification version dated November 5, 2024. It defines the Streamable-HTTP transport: a single endpoint accepts JSON-RPC 2.0 messages over HTTP POST, and the server can stream responses back. This is the transport Hive uses — one URL, no server process, no sockets to manage. Cline, Claude Desktop, and Cursor all support MCP servers via URL config with this transport.

Does it work with Claude Desktop and Cursor?

Yes. For Claude Desktop, add {"mcpServers":{"hive":{"url":"https://hive-mcp-gateway.onrender.com/mcp"}}} to claude_desktop_config.json (found at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS or %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows) and restart Claude Desktop. For Cursor, create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project root with the same structure, then reload the Cursor window. The transport key is optional for Claude Desktop and Cursor — they infer Streamable-HTTP from the URL.

Where do payments settle?

All Hive-originated fees settle in USDC on Base (chain ID 8453) via the x402 micropayment standard. The Hive treasury is 0x15184Bf50B3d3F52b60434f8942b7D52F2eB436E and is verifiable on-chain. Insurance premiums and arbitration fees route directly to third-party providers — Hive is broker-only and does not underwrite or custody those funds. Compute proof fees and DePIN match fees settle to the Hive treasury at the time of the verified event.
