About Hive Mining
Hive Mining is an MCP server for read-only Tether MOS site and payout telemetry, Bitcoin fee information, and Boltz BTC-to-USDC swaps. It is intended for clients that need mining-site data or a non-custodial settlement flow.
Key features
- 01Read-only Tether MOS site queries
- 02Pending USDC payout balance queries
- 03Bitcoin mempool fee guidance
- 04Next-block fee forecasts
- 05BTC-to-USDC atomic swaps on Base
Use cases
- 01Check MOS site telemetry
- 02Review pending operator payouts
- 03Estimate Bitcoin transaction fees
- 04Broker BTC-to-USDC settlement
MCP support
Exposes five tools to MCP clients over Streamable HTTP: MOS site and payout queries, Bitcoin fee advice and forecasts, and a Boltz BTC-to-USDC swap broker. The telemetry is read-only, and the swap does not custody BTC.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tether MOS Telemetry + Boltz BTC↔USDC Atomic Swap Broker
Read-only Tether MOS site telemetry and Boltz BTC↔USDC atomic swap broker via the Hive Civilization.
Doctrine disclaimer: Hive does NOT route hashrate. Hive does NOT custody BTC. This service is read-only telemetry plus atomic-swap broker only.
MCP server for Hive — Tether MOS site telemetry (read-only) and Boltz BTC↔USDC atomic swap broker. 5 doctrine-clean tools. USDC settlement on Base L2. No mocks. Partners: Tether MOS (telemetry) and Boltz (atomic swap).
Reclass note: This repo was reclassed from hashrate routing per Hive supreme rules (precedent: hive-swarm-trader → hive-swarm-signal-relay). All former hashrate-routing routes now return 410 Gone.
What this is
hive-mcp-mining is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes:
- Tether MOS Telemetry — read-only queries to Tether MOS sites and payout balances via the Hive orchestration layer. Partner: Tether.
- Boltz BTC↔USDC Atomic Swap Broker — Boltz reverse swap: deposit BTC at the HTLC address, receive USDC on Base. Hive never custodies BTC. Partner: Boltz.
- Bitcoin fee intel — Bortlesboat-attributed mempool fee landscape and next-block forecast.
- Protocol: MCP 2024-11-05 over Streamable-HTTP / JSON-RPC 2.0
- x402 micropayments: every paid call produces a real on-chain settlement
- Rails: USDC on Base L2 — real rails, no mocks

Doctrine
Three gates satisfied:
- NEED — Tether MOS telemetry + Boltz atomic swap address a real infrastructure need
- YIELD — per-call pricing on every tool (Tier 1–3, USDC on Base L2)
- CLEAN-MONEY — brand-attributed (#C08D23), no custody (Boltz atomic swap), read-only MOS
Hive as PARTNER throughout — Tether as MOS partner, Boltz as atomic swap partner.

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.
