5dive MCP server

Official

5dive MCP server

A Model Context Protocol (stdio) server that exposes the 5dive agent-fleet CLI as MCP tools. Point any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or your own) at it to file tasks, inspect and message agents, and read the fleet digest from inside a model context.

It is a thin, honest adapter: every tool shells out to the local 5dive binary's machine-readable --json surface and returns the result. The CLI does all the real work, so the server inherits its auth, permissions, and audit log for free.

Requirements

  • Node.js >= 18

  • The 5dive CLI installed and on PATH (curl https://install.5dive.com | sudo bash).

Install & run

npx @5dive/mcp        # run directly
# or
npm i -g @5dive/mcp && 5dive-mcp

Client config (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "5dive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@5dive/mcp"],
      "env": { "FIVEDIVE_SUDO": "1" }
    }
  }
}

Configuration (env vars)

Var

Default

Purpose

FIVEDIVE_BIN

5dive

Path to the 5dive binary.

FIVEDIVE_SUDO

(unset)

Set to 1 to prefix calls with sudo. Managed 5dive boxes require root for most subcommands; leave unset if you already run as root.

FIVEDIVE_TIMEOUT_MS

30000

Per-call timeout in milliseconds.

Safety

Arguments are passed to the CLI as an argv array with no shell, so tool input can never be interpreted as shell syntax. The server never sees secrets: the CLI reads its own credentials from the box.

Scope

This mirrors a curated slice of the CLI (tasks, agents, digest), not its full surface. It is a distribution and convenience layer, not a new API. For everything else, use the 5dive CLI directly (5dive --help).
