hive-mcp-vault

MCP access to confirmed HiveVault FENR reads and an AES-256-GCM encrypted item store.

Live contract

The server exposes four read-only MCP tools backed by the live HiveVault service:

ToolLive backend route
vault.balanceGET /vault/balance
vault.statsGET /vault/stats
vault.identityGET /vault/identity
vault.quantum_pubkeyGET /vault/quantum/pubkey

vault.balance returns the backend response exactly as received. An unauthenticated response can be marked obfuscated: true; clients must not treat that value as a confirmed treasury balance.

The server also exposes an encrypted item store:

MethodPathDescription
POST/v1/vault/storeStore an AES-256-GCM encrypted item after the x402 gate
GET/v1/vault/store/:item_refConfirm a stored item exists without returning plaintext

Unknown paths return HTTP 404. Upstream failures return explicit MCP errors. The service does not return fabricated success payloads.

Discovery and health

MethodPathDescription
GET/healthReadiness. This process plus current upstream reachability. Returns 503 and degraded when the upstream is unreachable
GET/livezLiveness only. This process, no upstream claim. This is the path platform health checks should use
POST/mcpMCP JSON-RPC 2.0, protocol 2024-11-05
GET/.well-known/mcp.jsonMCP discovery manifest
GET/.well-known/agent-card.jsonA2A agent card
GET/.well-known/agent.jsonAgent card
GET/.well-known/oac.jsonOpen Agent Card JSON-LD
GET/llms.txtPlain-text integration guide

Persistence

Set BOGO_DB_PATH to a path on durable storage in production. The default path, /tmp/bogo_vault.db, is suitable only for local development and tests. The server refuses to start in production unless an explicit database path is configured.

Environment variables

VariableRequiredPurpose
PORTNo, default 3000HTTP port
VAULT_BACKEND_URLNo, default https://hive-vault.onrender.comLive HiveVault backend
INTERNAL_KEYYes in productionDerives the local encryption key and is sent to the backend as x-vault-key
BOGO_DB_PATHYes in productionSQLite database path on durable storage. Local development defaults to /tmp/bogo_vault.db
BASE_RPC_URLNo, default https://mainnet.base.orgBase RPC endpoint used for x402 payment verification

The server refuses to start with NODE_ENV=production if INTERNAL_KEY or BOGO_DB_PATH is missing.

Testing

npm install
npm test

Tests cover health reporting, unknown-route handling, MCP tool discovery, upstream failure behavior, encrypted storage, and plaintext absence from the SQLite file.
