Hive captures the team's knowledge with almost zero effort — from git commits, coding-session summaries, and searches — and feeds it back through the team's AI tools over MCP. The point isn't to watch people; it's to make the tools collectively smarter, so nobody redoes work that's already been done.
Self-hosted: the Hive service, its database, and search run on our own infrastructure. Embeddings are the exception — the text Hive stores (commit messages, session and exchange summaries, search queries) is sent to a hosted AI provider via our LiteLLM gateway to be turned into search vectors. It is not used to train anyone's models, but it does leave our network for that step. Connect your AI tool via the Hive MCP endpoint — ask your admin for the URL and token.
