Bee — The Progressive Intelligence Engine

Bee — The Progressive Intelligence Engine: tiered LLM, 4 tools, hosted API, free tier.

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

PYPI package bee-sdk

Claude Code

claude mcp add bee-the-progressive-intelligence-engine -e 'BEE_API_KEY=<your bee_api_key>' -e 'BEE_MODEL=<BEE_MODEL>' -e 'BEE_API_URL=<BEE_API_URL>' -- uvx bee-sdk==0.6.0

JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "bee-the-progressive-intelligence-engine": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "bee-sdk==0.6.0"
            ],
            "env": {
                "BEE_API_KEY": "<your bee_api_key>",
                "BEE_MODEL": "<BEE_MODEL>",
                "BEE_API_URL": "<BEE_API_URL>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Environment variables

BEE_API_KEY required secret Bee API key (bee_sk_…). Create one at https://bee.cuilabs.io/app/account/api-keys — the free Cell tier works.
BEE_MODEL Default model tier (bee-cell … bee-swarm). Tier access follows the API key's plan. Default: bee-cell (free).
BEE_API_URL Override the gateway base URL (default https://bee.cuilabs.io/bee). Set only for a self-hosted Bee Enclave or staging.

Bee: Quantum Intelligence

Website | Documentation | Packages | Machine-readable package index | System status

The public developer distribution for Bee, HEOSSI's governed multimodal intelligence platform. This repository contains the actual source of Bee's Apache-2.0 SDKs, MCP integration, API contracts, runnable examples, and public trust-verification material.

This repository is generated from reviewed, public-safe paths in the Bee monorepo. MANIFEST.json records the exact source commit and content digest for every export; SHA256SUMS and the SPDX SBOM support independent artifact inspection.

Developer surface

The canonical package catalog records each public developer distribution, exact version, registry, role, license boundary, and install command. Its machine-readable companion is PACKAGE-INDEX.json. These distributions do not expose the private Bee service monorepo.

Surface	Install or entry point	Source / contract
TypeScript SDK	`npm install @heossihq/bee`	`sdks/typescript`
Python SDK	`pip install bee-sdk`	`sdks/python`
MCP server	`uvx --from bee-sdk@latest bee-mcp`	`mcp` · `server.json`
OpenAI-compatible API	`https://api.bee.heossi.com/bee`	`openapi.json` · `postman.json`
Bee: Quantum Intelligence - Code	`Heossi.beecode`	Microsoft Marketplace · Open VSX
Bee Code CLI	`npm install -g @heossihq/beecode`	Download guide
PQ assurance	Signed public coverage register	`trust/pq-register`

Quickstart

import { BeeClient } from "@heossihq/bee";

const bee = new BeeClient({ apiKey: process.env.BEE_API_KEY! });
const result = await bee.chat.completions.create({
  model: "bee-cell",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain hybrid post-quantum TLS." }],
});

console.log(result.choices[0].message.content);

Create an API key in Bee Workspace. The free Cell tier works with both SDKs and MCP.

Enterprise evaluation paths

Evaluator	Start here	What can be verified publicly
Enterprise architect	Reference architecture and scenario flows	System boundaries, governed request flow, deployment profiles, and responsibility split
Security or risk lead	Security policy, PQ coverage register, and diligence index	Disclosure path, released PQ claims, evidence limitations, and public control references
Platform engineer	API contracts, SDKs, MCP, and examples	Integration contracts, install paths, source, examples, and client configuration
Procurement or technical diligence	MANIFEST.json, SHA256SUMS, SPDX SBOM, and NOTICE	Export provenance, file integrity, package inventory, licensing, and the public/proprietary boundary

Architecture and scenarios

Start with the public reference architecture, then follow the control boundary through three concrete flows:

The matching visual architecture centre is published at bee.heossi.com/docs/architecture.

Bee Code's agent path is durable, subscription-bounded, and independently metered. Workspace, mobile, desktop, SDK, and MCP requests retain their own documented execution contracts; common entitlement enforcement does not imply that every surface has local IDE tools.

Integrity and provenance

The public distribution is locally rendered from an allowlisted monorepo surface. Verify it with:

sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS
python3 scripts/verify_bee_package_index.py PACKAGE-INDEX.json

SHA256SUMS covers every exported payload file except itself and the commit-specific MANIFEST.json. The manifest separately binds the export to its source commit and contains a deterministic digest of the complete payload. The SPDX document is package-level (filesAnalyzed: false); it inventories the published SDK and MCP packages without claiming a binary or deployment SBOM.

Public and proprietary boundary

The files in this repository are Apache-2.0 licensed. Bee's model engine, orchestration plane, hosted gateway, Bee Code CLI implementation, editor-extension implementation, and commercial applications remain proprietary and are not represented as open source here. Public API and package behavior is defined by the contracts and SDK source in this repository.

Contributing

Read CONTRIBUTING.md, SUPPORT.md, and the Code of Conduct. Generated paths must be changed in their canonical monorepo source; community examples and documentation can be proposed here and are reconciled during the next local export.
