# Hive MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides integrations for Jira and Sourcegraph. This allows LLMs to interact with Jira issues and search code across repositories using Sourcegraph.

**Package name:** `hive-mcp`  
**Tool prefix:** Service name (e.g., `jira_*`, `sourcegraph_*`)  
**Full tool names in LLM:** `mcp__hive-mcp__jira_get_issue` etc.

## Features

### Jira Integration
- **Get Issue**: Retrieve detailed information about Jira issues
- **Download Attachments**: Download attachments from Jira issues
- **Add Comments**: Post comments to Jira issues

### Sourcegraph Integration
- **Code Search**: Search code across repositories with powerful query operators (GraphQL)
- **Deep Search**: AI-powered conversational code search that understands natural language questions (REST API v6.7+)

## Installation

### Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher
- Jira Server/Data Center instance with API access
- Sourcegraph instance with API access
- GitHub account with access to the @ocuco organization

### Install from GitHub Packages

This package is published as a private package on GitHub Packages. To install it, you need to authenticate with GitHub first.

#### 1. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT)

1. Go to [GitHub Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens > Tokens (classic)](https://github.com/settings/tokens)
2. Click "Generate new token" > "Generate new token (classic)"
3. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "NPM Package Access")
4. Select the following scopes:
   - `read:packages` - Download packages from GitHub Package Registry
   - `write:packages` - Upload packages to GitHub Package Registry (only needed for publishing)
5. Click "Generate token" and copy the token

#### 2. Configure NPM to use GitHub Packages

Create or edit your `~/.npmrc` file (in your home directory) and add:

```
@ocuco:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN
```

Replace `YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN` with the token you created in step 1.

**Note:** On Windows, your home directory is `%USERPROFILE%` (usually `C:\Users\YourUsername`)

#### 3. Install the package

```bash
npm install -g @ocuco/hive-mcp
```

### Install from Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ocuco/hive-mcp.git
cd hive-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm link
```

## Configuration

Create a `.env` file in your project root or set environment variables:

```bash
# Jira Configuration (On-Premise Server/Data Center)
JIRA_BASE_URL=https://jira.your-company.com
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_personal_access_token

# Sourcegraph Configuration
SOURCEGRAPH_URL=https://sourcegraph.company.com
SOURCEGRAPH_TOKEN=your_sourcegraph_token
```

### Getting API Credentials

#### Jira Personal Access Token (PAT)
For Jira Server/Data Center on-premise installations:

1. Log in to your Jira instance
2. Navigate to your **Profile** → **Personal Access Tokens**
3. Click **Create token**
4. Give it a name (e.g., "MCP Server Access")
5. Set expiration date (optional, recommended for security)
6. Click **Create** and copy the token
7. Use this token as `JIRA_API_TOKEN`

**Important Notes:**
- Personal Access Tokens are available in Jira 8.14 and later
- For older versions, contact your Jira administrator for API access options
- Keep your token secure and never commit it to version control
- The token is used with Bearer authentication
- Self-signed SSL certificates are automatically handled

#### Sourcegraph Token
1. Go to your Sourcegraph instance
2. Navigate to Settings > Access tokens
3. Create a new access token
4. Copy the token and use it as `SOURCEGRAPH_TOKEN`

## Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

**MacOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hive-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/hive-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_BASE_URL": "https://jira.your-company.com",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_personal_access_token",
        "SOURCEGRAPH_URL": "https://sourcegraph.company.com",
        "SOURCEGRAPH_TOKEN": "your_sourcegraph_token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Or if installed globally from GitHub Packages:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hive-mcp": {
      "command": "hive-mcp",
      "env": {
        "JIRA_BASE_URL": "https://jira.your-company.com",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "your_personal_access_token",
        "SOURCEGRAPH_URL": "https://sourcegraph.company.com",
        "SOURCEGRAPH_TOKEN": "your_sourcegraph_token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Note:** After installing from GitHub Packages with `npm install -g @ocuco/hive-mcp`, the command name remains `hive-mcp` (defined in package.json bin field).

## Available Tools & Resources

### Resources

MCP Resources allow LLMs to read Jira attachments like local files. The server handles caching and download automatically.

**Resource URI Format:**

#### `jira://issues/{issueKey}/attachments`
List all attachments for a specific Jira issue.

**Example:**
```
jira://issues/PROJ-123/attachments
```

**Returns:**
- List of all attachments with metadata
- Each attachment includes its resource URI for direct access

#### `jira://attachments/{attachmentId}`
Read specific attachment content.

**Example:**
```
jira://attachments/10041
```

**Behavior:**
- **Images <500KB**: Returns image blob (viewable directly)
- **Files <500KB**: Returns base64 content
- **Files >500KB**: Returns metadata + warning
- **Automatic caching**: Small files cached for 5 minutes

**Advantages:**
- ✅ LLM reads attachments like local files
- ✅ No repeated downloads (smart caching)
- ✅ No authentication errors (handled by MCP)
- ✅ Automatic size management

**Usage in Claude:**
```
"Read jira://attachments/10041"
"Show me all attachments from PROJ-123"
```

## Development

```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

# Development mode (watch for changes)
npm run dev

# Run the server
npm start
```

## Publishing to GitHub Packages

**Note:** Only maintainers with write access to the @ocuco organization can publish.

### Prerequisites for Publishing

1. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token with `write:packages` scope (see Installation section)
2. Ensure your local `~/.npmrc` has the authentication configured
3. Make sure you're logged in to npm: `npm whoami --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com`

### Publishing Steps

1. **Update version** (choose one):
   ```bash
   npm version patch  # 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
   npm version minor  # 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0
   npm version major  # 1.0.0 -> 2.0.0
   ```

2. **Build the project**:
   ```bash
   npm run build
   ```

3. **Publish to GitHub Packages**:
   ```bash
   npm publish
   ```

4. **Push changes and tags**:
   ```bash
   git push
   git push --tags
   ```

### Package Visibility

The package is set as **private** (`"access": "restricted"` in publishConfig). Only members of the @ocuco organization with proper permissions can:
- View the package
- Download and install the package
- Publish new versions (with write access)

To manage package access:
1. Go to the [package page on GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/ocuco/packages)
2. Find the `hive-mcp` package
3. Go to "Package settings" > "Manage Actions access" to configure permissions

TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Scored across 7 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The Jira and Sourcegraph tools are cleanly separated by prefix and purpose. Each Jira tool targets a distinct resource (issue, comments, attachments), and the two Sourcegraph tools are clearly differentiated by search mode.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with a service prefix (jira_ or sourcegraph_) followed by a clear verb_noun structure (e.g., get_issue, add_comment, search_code). No mixed conventions.

Tool Count4/5

The 7-tool count is within the ideal range, but the server spans two distinct domains (Jira and Sourcegraph), which slightly dilutes focus. Still, each tool earns its place for basic workflows.

Completeness3/5

The Jira coverage lacks core operations like create_issue, update_issue, or delete_issue, limiting workflow completion. Sourcegraph only offers search and deep search, with no direct file retrieval or repository browsing, leaving notable gaps for a development tool.
