Bee — The Progressive Intelligence Engine
LocalAbout Bee — The Progressive Intelligence Engine
Bee is a governed multimodal intelligence platform with public TypeScript and Python SDKs, API contracts, examples, and a hosted service. It is for developers and enterprise evaluators integrating Bee or reviewing its published architecture, security evidence, and package provenance.
Key features
- 01TypeScript and Python SDKs
- 02OpenAI-compatible API contracts
- 03MCP server package
- 04Runnable integration examples
- 05Public artifact integrity materials
Use cases
- 01Integrate Bee through an SDK
- 02Connect an MCP-compatible host to Bee
- 03Review package provenance and public controls
MCP support
The public distribution includes the `bee-mcp` MCP server package, installable with `uvx --from bee-sdk@latest bee-mcp`. The README identifies the free Cell tier as compatible with MCP.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx bee-sdkBEE_API_KEYSecretBee API key (bee_sk_…). Create one at https://bee.cuilabs.io/app/account/api-keys — the free Cell tier works.BEE_MODELDefault model tier (bee-cell … bee-swarm). Tier access follows the API key's plan. Default: bee-cell (free).BEE_API_URLOverride the gateway base URL (default https://bee.cuilabs.io/bee). Set only for a self-hosted Bee Enclave or staging.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Bee: Quantum Intelligence™
Website | Documentation | Packages | Machine-readable package index | System status
The public developer distribution for Bee, HEOSSI's governed multimodal intelligence platform. This repository contains the actual source of Bee's Apache-2.0 SDKs, MCP integration, API contracts, runnable examples, and public trust-verification material.
This repository is generated from reviewed, public-safe paths in the Bee monorepo. MANIFEST.json records the exact source commit and content digest for every export; SHA256SUMS and the SPDX SBOM support independent artifact inspection.
Developer surface
The canonical package catalog records each public developer distribution, exact version, registry, role, license boundary, and install command. Its machine-readable companion is PACKAGE-INDEX.json. These distributions do not expose the private Bee service monorepo.
| Surface | Install or entry point | Source / contract |
|---|---|---|
| TypeScript SDK | npm install @heossihq/bee | sdks/typescript |
| Python SDK | pip install bee-sdk | sdks/python |
| MCP server | uvx --from bee-sdk@latest bee-mcp | mcp · server.json |
| OpenAI-compatible API | https://api.bee.heossi.com/bee | openapi.json · postman.json |
| Bee: Quantum Intelligence - Code | Heossi.beecode | Microsoft Marketplace · Open VSX |
| Bee Code CLI | npm install -g @heossihq/beecode | Download guide |
| PQ assurance | Signed public coverage register | trust/pq-register |
Quickstart
import { BeeClient } from "@heossihq/bee";
const bee = new BeeClient({ apiKey: process.env.BEE_API_KEY! });
const result = await bee.chat.completions.create({
model: "bee-cell",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain hybrid post-quantum TLS." }],
});
console.log(result.choices[0].message.content);
Create an API key in Bee Workspace. The free Cell tier works with both SDKs and MCP.

|---|---|---|
| Enterprise architect | Reference architecture and scenario flows | System boundaries, governed request flow, deployment profiles, and responsibility split |
| Security or risk lead | Security policy, PQ coverage register, and diligence index | Disclosure path, released PQ claims, evidence limitations, and public control references |

| Procurement or technical diligence | MANIFEST.json, SHA256SUMS, SPDX SBOM, and NOTICE | Export provenance, file integrity, package inventory, licensing, and the public/proprietary boundary |
Architecture and scenarios
Start with the public reference architecture, then follow the control boundary through three concrete flows:
The matching visual architecture centre is published at bee.heossi.com/docs/architecture.
Bee Code's agent path is durable, subscription-bounded, and independently metered. Workspace, mobile, desktop, SDK, and MCP requests retain their own documented execution contracts; common entitlement enforcement does not imply that every surface has local IDE tools.
Integrity and provenance
The public distribution is locally rendered from an allowlisted monorepo surface. Verify it with:
sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS
python3 scripts/verify_bee_package_index.py PACKAGE-INDEX.json
SHA256SUMS covers every exported payload file except itself and the
commit-specific MANIFEST.json. The manifest separately binds the export to
its source commit and contains a deterministic digest of the complete payload.
The SPDX document is package-level (filesAnalyzed: false); it inventories the
published SDK and MCP packages without claiming a binary or deployment SBOM.
Public and proprietary boundary
The files in this repository are Apache-2.0 licensed. Bee's model engine, orchestration plane, hosted gateway, Bee Code CLI implementation, editor-extension implementation, and commercial applications remain proprietary and are not represented as open source here. Public API and package behavior is defined by the contracts and SDK source in this repository.

Comments
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.
