Hive Agent Storage
Encrypted A2A object storage for autonomous agent state and artifacts
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).
claude mcp add --transport http hive-agent-storage 'https://hive-mcp-agent-storage.onrender.com/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"hive-agent-storage": {
"type": "http",

Hive Agent Storage
Agent-native object storage with per-agent DID isolation and x402 pay-per-byte metering.
hive-mcp-agent-storage is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives autonomous agents a first-class object-storage primitive. Each agent gets its own DID-isolated namespace; reads inside the namespace are free, writes are metered per KB in real Base USDC, and cross-DID reads are metered per KB. Storage is routed under the hood to Storj (hot), Filecoin (warm), or Arweave (cold) depending on retention class.
The differentiator is not a new storage backend. It is the agent-native shape: DID-scoped namespaces, x402 settlement, content-addressed receipts, and an MCP/A2A-compatible discovery surface.

Backend status — pending
The MCP shim, registry manifests, AgentCard, and JSON-LD ship today as a discovery anchor. The upstream backend at hivemorph.onrender.com/v1/storage/* is not yet live. Until it ships, every storage tool returns a 503-shape body:
{
"error": "backend_pending",
"retry_after": 86400,
"detail": "Hive Agent Storage backend endpoints (/v1/storage/*) are not yet live...",
"brand": "#C08D23"
}
The shared hive_earn_* tools route to live /v1/earn/* endpoints and behave normally.
Tools
| Tool | Purpose | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
agent_storage_put | Upload bytes into an agent-isolated namespace. Choose hot/warm/cold retention class. | $0.0001/KB upload, real Base USDC |
agent_storage_get | Read an object. Free for own DID. | $0.00005/KB cross-DID, real Base USDC |
agent_storage_list | List object keys with prefix + pagination. | Free |
agent_storage_delete | Tombstone an object (owner-only). | Free |

▼
hive-mcp-agent-storage (this repo)
│ per-agent DID isolation
│ x402 metering shim

├─ Storj (hot, frequent access)
├─ Filecoin (warm, periodic access)
└─ Arweave (cold, permanent)
Per-agent DID isolation means:
- The agent's DID is the namespace key. Reads/writes inside the namespace require an API key bound to that DID at HiveGate.
- Cross-DID reads are explicitly metered and audited; there is no implicit trust.
- Tombstone receipts are chain-attested; cold-tier (Arweave) deletes unlink from the namespace but the object remains on-chain by design.

Agent-native (v1.0.0)
This shim ships the Hive Civilization agent-native bundle so any A2A or MCP-aware agent can discover, pay, and earn:
- A2A AgentCard —
GET /.well-known/agent.json(also at/agent.json). - Open Agent Card (OAC) JSON-LD — embedded inline at
/and/agent.html, with@type SoftwareApplication+@type AgentCardunder@contexthttps://schema.org+https://a2a-protocol.org/v1. - Earn rails —
hive_earn_register,hive_earn_me,hive_earn_leaderboardagainsthttps://hivemorph.onrender.com/v1/earn/*. Resilient to upstream cold-start. - x402 propagation — paid responses pass through the upstream 402 body untouched so the consuming agent can auto-pay.
- Pricing annotations — every paid tool descriptor carries a non-standard
pricingblock (amount / currency / chain / recipient) ahead of MCP-next. - Brand: Hive Civilization gold

Frequently asked questions
What is Hive Agent Storage?
Encrypted A2A object storage for autonomous agent state and artifacts
How do I install Hive Agent Storage?
It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http hive-agent-storage 'https://hive-mcp-agent-storage.onrender.com/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Hive Agent Storage need an API key?
Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.
Is Hive Agent Storage open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains Hive Agent Storage?
It is published by srotzin. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
