About Hive Keet Bridge
Hive Keet Bridge is an MCP server connecting Keet identities with Hive's identity network. It is for applications that need identity resolution or signed-attestation checks, and offers read-only verification alongside an optional DID-linking operation.
Key features
- 01Resolve Keet keys to Hive DID documents
- 02Verify ed25519 signed attestations
- 03Link keys to Hive DIDs
- 04Look up cached hyperdht announce records
- 05Browse Holepunch and Keet partner integrations
Use cases
- 01Resolve a Keet identity into a DID document
- 02Check an attestation signed by a Keet key
- 03Link a key to a Hive DID after proving control
- 04Find partner integration links and bridge endpoints
MCP support
It exposes identity resolution, attestation verification, key linking, announce-record lookup, and a partner directory as MCP tools. Except for linking a DID in the Hive registry, identity lookup and verification are read-only.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

MCP server — Hive–Holepunch/Keet identity bridge
Bridges holepunchto/keet-identity-key (Apache-2.0) into the Hive agentic identity network. Exposes DID resolution, signed attestation verification, and a partner directory as MCP tools. Read-only resolution and attestation — Hive does not operate hyperdht bootstrap nodes or Keet servers.
Holepunch is a partner. This shim composes on top of the Holepunch identity primitive. It does not fork, replace, or compete with Keet, hyperswarm, or hyperdht.
Partner doctrine
| Layer | Owner |
|---|---|
| DHT peer discovery and transport | Holepunch (hyperswarm, hyperdht) |
| HD ed25519 key derivation | Holepunch (keet-identity-key, Apache-2.0) |
| Keet UX and messaging | Holepunch / Keet |
| DID resolution and trust registry | Hive |
| Signed attestation and receipt layer | Hive |
| x402 agent commerce pricing | Hive |
Tools
| Tool | Description | Read-only |
|---|---|---|
keet_identity_resolve | Resolve a Keet identity key (ed25519, hex or base58) to a did:hive: DID document and agent_card URI | Yes |
keet_did_link | Link a Keet identity key to a Hive DID — idempotent, requires a signed attestation proving key control | Write (Hive registry only) |
keet_signed_attestation_verify | Verify an ed25519 attestation signed by a Keet identity key — no network call required | Yes |
keet_hyperdht_announce | Return cached hyperdht announce record for a given identity key — Hive does not operate hyperdht | Yes |
keet_partner_directory | Holepunch + Keet partner integration directory with canonical links and Hive bridge endpoints | Yes |
Endpoints
| Path | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
/mcp | POST | JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP endpoint (protocol: 2024-11-05) |
/health | GET | Server health and tool count |
/.well-known/mcp.json | GET | MCP manifest |

Key derivation spec
Identity keys are produced by holepunchto/keet-identity-key — a BIP32-style hierarchical deterministic (HD) derivation generating ed25519 keypairs for the Keet identity system. This library is licensed under Apache-2.0 and is developed and maintained by Holepunch.
Hive's DID composition maps each Keet identity root deterministically to a did:hive:keet:<base64url-pubkey> string. The mapping is purely additive — the Holepunch key derivation spec is unchanged.
Boundary: what Hive does not do
- Hive does not operate hyperdht bootstrap nodes.
- Hive does not operate Keet servers or relay traffic.
- Hive does not fork or modify
keet-identity-key. - Hive does not issue settlement assets on behalf of Holepunch or Tether.
- This shim does not claim to run on the Keet network — it resolves and attests.
Runtime
- Node.js >= 18
- Express 4.x
- Zero DHT or P2P dependencies in this shim
- LLM calls:

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.
