Hive Backup

Official registry AI and agents

Snapshot and restore service for agent state and DID-bound configuration

Source code Website Documentation

What can you do with Hive Backup?

  • Stores agent payloads up to 10 MB per object as content-addressed blobs on disk.
  • Verifies every read with SHA-256 before returning bytes.
  • Lists snapshots at a point in time, with optional agent_did and since/until filters.
  • Meters through x402: $0.01 per GB-month of storage, computed nightly per agent_did; $0.05 per restore op.

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).
