About Hive Compute Grid
Hive Compute Grid is an MCP server for comparing compute-provider quotes, running cross-pool auctions, and managing bookings. It serves agents and MCP clients that need provider selection with signed receipts and verifiable selection proofs.
Key features
- 01Compare provider quotes
- 02Run cross-pool compute auctions
- 03Book, check, and release capacity
- 04Verify selection proofs
- 05Read capacity and auction records
Use cases
- 01Compare compute prices before choosing a provider
- 02Select and reserve capacity across providers
- 03Check or release an existing booking
- 04Verify an auction selection proof
MCP support
Exposes compute-grid operations as 11 tools to MCP clients over Streamable HTTP and JSON-RPC 2.0, including quote, solve, booking, audit, and proof verification. Paid responses can pass through x402 payment details.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

HiveComputeGrid
Cross-pool compute auction grid — 15-agent fleet, 6 driver types, Groth16-verified
MCP server for the Hive Compute Grid. A 15-agent fleet across 6 driver types (cross-pool auction, workload decomposition, verification fleet, capacity listener, QVAC mesh orchestrator, settlement reporting) bids on compute capacity from io.net, Render, Akash, Aleo provers, and any custom hMo driver. Verification fleet emits Groth16-style proofs at $0.001/proof. Capacity Listener is read-only by spec (no bids, no hedges, no derivatives — energy futures permanently rejected by R3 council).
Compute Grid D2 build (v1.1.0) — real auction solver + io.net/Akash/Render adapters live, Groth16-shaped selection proofs, cost telemetry to canonical receipt ledger.
What this is
hive-mcp-compute-grid is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the HiveComputeGrid platform on the Hive Civilization to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Manus, etc.). The server proxies to the live production backend at https://receipts.thehiveryiq.com.

Tools (v1.1.0 — 11 tools)
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
computegrid_list_agents | List the 15-agent fleet across all 6 driver types. |
computegrid_get_capacity | Read-only capacity view from the Capacity Listener fleet. |
computegrid_list_providers | List enabled provider adapters (io.net, Akash, Render) and their upstream health. |
computegrid_quote | Gather quotes across enabled providers WITHOUT running the auction (price discovery). |
computegrid_solve | Run the cross-pool auction. Returns chosen provider, all quotes, Groth16-shaped selection proof, signed receipt, settlement path. Persists cost_usdc telemetry to the Hive ledger. |
computegrid_book | Reserve compute with the chosen provider (gated on provider keys; 503 with documented missing-key error if not configured). |
computegrid_status | Poll a provider booking by id. |
computegrid_release | Release a reservation. |
computegrid_audit | Read recent compute_grid_auction entries from the canonical receipt ledger. |
computegrid_verify_proof | Submit any Groth16 proof envelope to the Verification Fleet ($0.001/proof). |
computegrid_verify_selection | Independently verify a selection proof from a prior /solve response. |

Agent-native (v1.1.2)
This shim ships the Hive Civilization agent-native bundle so any A2A or MCP-aware agent can discover, pay, and earn:
- A2A AgentCard — `GET /.well-known/agent.json` (also at `/agent.json`).
- Open Agent Card (OAC) JSON-LD — embedded inline at `/` and `/agent.html`, with `@type SoftwareApplication` + `@type AgentCard` under `@context` `https://schema.org\` + `https://a2a-protocol.org/v1\`.
- Earn rails — every shim exposes `hive_earn_register`, `hive_earn_me`, `hive_earn_leaderboard` against `https://receipts.thehiveryiq.com/v1/earn/*\`. Resilient to upstream cold-start: returns a structured "earn rails not yet live" body if upstream isn't yet deployed.
- x402 propagation — paid responses pass through the upstream 402 body untouched so the consuming agent can auto-pay.
- Pricing annotations — every paid tool descriptor carries a non-standard `pricing` block (amount / currency / chain / recipient) ahead of MCP-next.
- Brand: Hive Civilization gold `#C08D23`. Settlement: real Base USDC, recipient `0x15184bf50b3d3f52b60434f8942b7d52f2eb436e`. No mock, no testnet.

About Hive Civilization
This MCP server is part of the Hive Civilization ecosystem — post-quantum-ready receipt infrastructure for agent-to-agent (A2A) commerce.
Each transaction can be receipted with post-quantum receipts using ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204) dual signatures and ML-KEM-768 (NIST FIPS 203) key encapsulation. Receipts are anchored by Swarm-MAPET 16-axis Byzantine consensus and settled in USDC on Base 8453.
Pricing: per-call profiles from Nano $0.0001 to Swarm $0.0096. See pricing.

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.
