How to connect
How to connect HiveTrust to Claude

https://hivetrust.onrender.com/mcp
- Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
- Go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
- In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.
Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

- Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
- Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
- Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
- In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.
OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

Server tool list (17)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| hivetrust_register_agent | Register a new AI agent identity with HiveTrust KYA (Know Your Agent). Assigns a unique agent ID, anchors the public key, and initializes the trust score. |
| hivetrust_get_agent | Retrieve a registered agent's full identity profile, including public key, checksum, trust tier, capabilities, and compliance status. |
| hivetrust_verify_identity | Verify an agent's cryptographic identity by checking public key ownership and checksum integrity. Returns a verification result with confidence score and reason codes. |
| hivetrust_get_trust_score | Retrieve an agent's current multi-pillar trust score (0–1000 scale). Returns composite score, tier, per-pillar breakdown (identity, behavior, fidelity, compliance, provenance), verdict, and max recommended transaction value. |
| hivetrust_verify_agent_risk | Quick risk assessment for payment processors and marketplace operators. Returns verdict (ALLOW/REVIEW/BLOCK), trust tier, and max transaction limit. This is the free public endpoint — no API key required. |
| hivetrust_ingest_telemetry | Bulk ingest behavioral telemetry events for an agent. These events feed into the trust scoring engine. Supports transaction completions, SLA violations, dispute events, tool calls, and more. |
| hivetrust_issue_credential | Issue a W3C-compatible verifiable credential to an agent. Credentials represent verified claims such as identity verification, compliance certification, or domain expertise. |
| hivetrust_verify_credential | Verify a previously issued verifiable credential. Checks signature validity, revocation status, and expiration. |
| hivetrust_revoke_credential | Revoke a verifiable credential. Records the revocation in the registry. Revoked credentials immediately fail verification checks. |
| hivetrust_get_insurance_quote | Get a dynamic insurance premium quote for an agent transaction. Premium is calculated based on trust score, transaction value, and risk tier. HiveTrust takes a 1.5% spread on insured transactions. |
| hivetrust_bind_insurance | Bind (activate) an insurance policy for an agent. Locks in the premium, creates the policy record, and deploys the escrow contract on Base L2. |
| hivetrust_file_claim | File an insurance claim against an active policy. Triggers claims adjudication workflow. Payouts are made in USDC via the Base L2 escrow contract. |
| hivetrust_file_dispute | File a dispute or appeal against a trust score decision, credential revocation, or behavioral event. Initiates the dispute resolution workflow. |
| hivetrust_get_platform_stats | Retrieve HiveTrust platform-wide statistics: total registered agents, verified count, average trust score, total insured value, active policies, claims filed, and more. |
| hivetrust_create_lease | Create a Data Oracle Context Lease — "Sign Once, Settle Many". Grants unlimited access to a data stream for a fixed period (24h/72h/168h). Returns a cryptographic lease token (SHA-256) for zero-friction verification. Available streams: construction_pricing, simpson_catalog, compliance_feeds, market_data, pheromone_signals. |
| hivetrust_stake_bond | Stake USDC to back an agent's reputation via HiveBond. Creates a trust bond with a specified tier (bronze/silver/gold/platinum) and lock period. Phase 1: declared stake amount tracked in-memory; flat $0.25 registration fee via x402. Longer lock periods earn higher simulated yield (2–5% APY). Slashing is permanent — if an agent fails, stake is slashed and paid to injured parties. |
| hivetrust_verify_bond | Quick bond verification — check if an agent is bonded and at what tier. Returns bonded status, tier, staked amount, slash count, and max bounty access. This is the key integration point — other services call this to check bond status before assigning bounties. Free endpoint, no x402 payment required. |
