hive

hive is a skill for Claude Code from hive-intel/hive-sdk. It costs 165 tokens per session (5,196 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A crypto information skill that gathers current market, blockchain, wallet, token, DeFi, NFT, and derivatives data from multiple providers. It includes receipts showing the source and fetch details for each material answer.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps answer live crypto questions, compare funding or basis across exchanges, inspect historical derivatives data, and check on-chain or token information.
Why use it?
It brings data from different crypto services into one query and makes the source and timing of an answer traceable.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hive scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 25d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hive: one skill, all crypto intelligence

Hive answers live crypto questions from more than a dozen data providers through one MCP server and one CLI, and every answer carries a receipt: provider, fetch time, cache state, runtime status, and digests of the input and result. Three things Hive has that most crypto data tools do not:

  • History that venues no longer serve. Perp funding settlements for one coin across up to 33 CEX and DEX venues since 2023-11, plus basis, open interest and liquidations since 2025 and long/short ratios since 2026-03.
  • Cross-venue views. One call compares funding or basis across venues instead of one exchange at a time.
  • Provenance you can cite. The _hive block on every material response is the receipt. Copy it; never invent one.

Which transport

Detect the host once per session:

  • Hive tools are present in your tool list (search_tools, invoke_api_endpoint, get_token_price, ...): use the MCP path. Do not shell out to the CLI for data the MCP path already serves.
  • No Hive tools in the tool list, but you have a shell: use the CLI path (hive ...).
  • The user says "use the CLI" or "use MCP", or the environment sets HIVE_TRANSPORT=cli|mcp: that wins.

Both paths return the same receipts and the same error codes.

Setup

One incantation on every surface. It registers the hosted MCP endpoint in every detected client, copies the skill packs, and skips the post-install probe so it also works in non-interactive shells:

npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive init --all --skip-verify

Never run bare hive init from an agent: it is interactive and exits 1 in a non-TTY shell. Add --browser only when the user asked to sign in.

Hosted MCP endpoint: https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth in the client browser; headless backends send Authorization: Bearer <HIVE_API_KEY> from secret storage).

Version check, once per session on the CLI path:

npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive --version

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hive is a skill published in the GitHub repository hive-intel/hive-sdk (20 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 165 tokens to every session and 5,196 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-17.
