MCP Hive is a hub which connects MCP Server Consumers to paid MCP Servers. For example, paid MCP Servers might serve protected content, served by original copyright owners; paid MCP Servers can serve data which was built by expert systems, such as financial and sports data repositories.
Overview
MCP-Hive Proxy
This is the MCP-Hive Proxy. It can be loaded by any agentic host in order to access MCP-Hive and is a gateway to other MCP servers. To obtain credentials, and read further documentation, go to mcp-hive.com
Running
The proxy can run in two modes:
Server Mode (Single MCP)
Proxy a specific MCP server to your MCP client:
node src/proxy/mcpHiveProxy.ts --server <server-name> --local --credentials <credentials>
Gateway Mode (All MCPs)
Expose all available MCP servers through a single proxy with namespaced tools:
node src/proxy/mcpHiveProxy.ts --gateway --local --credentials <credentials>
In gateway mode:

discoverServers,listTools,listResources,listPrompts - All server tools are namespaced:
serverName___toolName(e.g.,validator___echo,accuweather___getWeather)
