MCP support
The plugin connects to Print Hive’s MCP server and provides organization-scoped resources and guarded operations through OAuth, with grants separated by domain.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEPrint Hive plugins
Official Print Hive plugins for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Grok Bot. Connect an agent to your organization-scoped Print Hive fleet, models, files, materials, inventory, Makes, print jobs, and guarded printer controls through OAuth.
Cursor / Grok Bot
Install from the Cursor Marketplace (after publish):
- Open Cursor Settings → Plugins → Marketplace
- Search for "Print Hive"
- Click Install, then complete Print Hive OAuth authorization
Until the marketplace listing is published, install locally for Cursor IDE (Grok Bot cannot load ~/.cursor/plugins/local):
git clone https://github.com/PrintHive/print-hive-plugins
cp -R print-hive-plugins/plugins/print-hive ~/.cursor/plugins/local/print-hive
Confirm plugins/print-hive/mcp.json is URL-only HTTP to https://api.printhiv3d.com/v1/mcp with no API key and no secret env vars.
Or import the repository marketplace in team settings.
Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add PrintHive/print-hive-plugins
claude plugin install print-hive@print-hive --scope user
Start Claude Code, open /mcp, and complete Print Hive authorization.
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add PrintHive/print-hive-plugins
codex plugin add print-hive@print-hive
Start a new Codex thread and complete Print Hive authorization when prompted.
ChatGPT
The reviewed public ChatGPT/Codex listing uses the same MCP server:
https://api.printhiv3d.com/v1/mcp
Until the directory listing is approved, add it as a custom MCP connector using OAuth discovery.
Farm crew (agents)
Second marketplace plugin: print-hive-farm-crew — Foreman, Trendy, Spool, Nest, Wrench, Counter.
Install alongside print-hive for MCP + role agents. Farm-safe gate: queue/slice when asked; confirm buys, parts, start/stop, and g-code.
Skills
The plugin includes specialized operator workflow skills:
- Core: setup, fleet-operations, library-inventory, grok-claim
- Operator workflows: fleet-status, shift-and-dispatch, material-runway, production-commitments, smart-assign, risk-readiness, performance-reporting, reliability-diagnostics, operator-context, filament-operations, briefing-settings
See plugins/print-hive/skills/ for detailed routing and tool usage.
Safety
- Every request is bound to the authenticated Print Hive organization.
- OAuth grants are separated by printers, models, jobs, inventory, Makes, fleet, and telemetry domains.
- Production mutations require exact targets and may require explicit confirmation.
- Dangerous printer operations are not implicitly granted to public OAuth clients.
- Printer credentials are entered only in the Print Hive web application.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
