Add the server
That is the whole setup. Claude Code stores the server in your config and opens browser
authorization the first time it connects.
Verify
You should see hive listed and connected. If it says it needs authentication, run:
claude mcp login needs an interactive terminal because it prompts you to paste back a
redirect URL. It will not complete inside a non-interactive session or a CI job.
Ask something

What is Ethereum trading at? Use Hive.
The answer should name a provider and a fetch time.
Headless use
For CI or a script where no browser is available, skip OAuth and use a key:
Keep the key in an environment variable. See authentication.
