🏗️ Architecture

This MCP server acts as a bridge between your AI assistant and HiveFlow:

AI Assistant (Claude/Cursor) ↔ MCP Server ↔ HiveFlow API

🔒 Security

• API keys are transmitted securely over HTTPS

• All requests are authenticated and authorized

• No data is stored locally by the MCP server

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"HIVEFLOW_API_KEY is required"

• Make sure you've set the API key in your MCP configuration

• Verify the API key is valid and not expired

"Cannot connect to HiveFlow API"

• Check that your HiveFlow instance is running

• Verify the API URL is correct

• Ensure there are no firewall restrictions

"MCP server not found"

• Restart your AI assistant completely

• Verify the MCP configuration file is in the correct location

• Check that the package is installed: npm list -g @hiveflow/mcp-server
