Overview

Hiveku exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so you can manage your Hiveku account directly from ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code. Once connected, you can ask your LLM to create content, check analytics, manage projects, and more — all in natural language.
What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol is an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI assistants securely access external tools and data. Hiveku’s MCP server implements this standard so any MCP-compatible client can connect.

​
How it works

  1. You create an API key in Hiveku (one per LLM client)
  2. You add the Hiveku MCP endpoint to your LLM client’s connector settings
  3. Your LLM can now use Hiveku tools scoped to your account — create projects, manage content, read analytics, etc.
  4. All tool calls are authenticated with your API key, rate-limited, and logged for security auditing

Authentication is via Bearer token in the Authorization header.

​
Create an API Key

1

Open LLM Connectors

In your Hiveku dashboard, go to Settings and scroll to the LLM Connectors section.
2

Create a key

Click Create API Key, enter a descriptive name (e.g., “My ChatGPT”, “Office Claude”), and click Generate Key.
3

Copy the key

Your full API key is shown only once at creation. It looks like:
hvk_a1b2c3d4e5f6...
Copy it now — you won’t be able to see it again. If you lose it, deactivate the key and create a new one.
Treat API keys like passwords. Never commit them to source control or share them publicly. Each key has access to your entire Hiveku account.

​
Setup by Client

1

Open Claude settings

Go to claude.ai/settings.
2

Add a connector

Click Connectors in the sidebar, then click Add custom connector.
3

Paste the URL

Paste the Hiveku MCP URL and click Add:
https://core.hiveku.com/mcp
4

Authenticate

You’ll see a Hiveku login page. Paste your API key from the dashboard.
5

Start using it

Open a new chat — your Hiveku tools will appear automatically.

​
What Your LLM Can Do

Once connected, you can ask your LLM to perform actions across Hiveku in plain language. Capabilities are scoped to your account.

Projects

Create and manage website projects, check deployment status, switch between projects

Content & Pages

Create, read, update, and delete website pages, blog posts, and content

CRM

Search contacts, manage pipeline stages, look up leads and deals

Marketing

Schedule social posts, manage email campaigns, generate content drafts

Analytics

Query visitor analytics, traffic data, and performance metrics

Workflows

List, trigger, and inspect automation workflows

​
Example Prompts

Try asking your LLM things like:
  • “List all my Hiveku projects and their deployment status”
  • “Create a new blog post titled ‘Welcome to our new site’ in my main project”
  • “How many visitors did my site get last week?”
  • “Add a new contact to CRM: Jane Doe, jane@acme.com, Acme Inc”
  • “Schedule a LinkedIn post for tomorrow at 9am about our new feature”
  • “Deploy my project to production”

​
Managing Keys

​
Rotate a key

Create a new key with a descriptive name, update your LLM client to use the new key, then deactivate the old one.

​
Deactivate a key

From Settings > LLM Connectors, click the trash icon next to any key to deactivate it. Deactivated keys immediately stop working — any LLM using that key will lose access until a new key is provided.
Use separate keys for each LLM client (one for ChatGPT, one for Claude Desktop, etc.) so you can rotate them independently and see which client is making requests in the “Last used” column.

​
Security & Limits

  • Rate limit: 100 requests per minute per key
  • Scoping: Keys are scoped to your Hiveku account — they cannot access other accounts
  • Audit log: Every tool call is logged with timestamp, action, and client
  • Key format: Keys are 64-character hex strings prefixed with hvk_
  • Storage: Keys are stored hashed. The full value is shown only once at creation.
  • Revocation: Deactivated keys stop working immediately
If you suspect a key has been compromised (leaked in a log, committed to a repo, shared in a screenshot), deactivate it immediately and create a new one.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Verify the connector is enabled in your Claude settings
  • Check that your API key hasn’t been deactivated in the Hiveku dashboard
  • Try restarting your Claude client
  • Test with a simple prompt like “What Hiveku projects do I have?”
  • Make sure Developer Mode is enabled in ChatGPT’s advanced settings
  • Verify you used the SSE URL (https://core.hiveku.com/sse/) not the MCP URL
  • Create a fresh API key and re-authenticate
The default limit is 100 requests/min per key. If you hit this, wait 60 seconds. For higher limits, contact support.
Make sure you copied the full key (starts with hvk_). If you only see a preview like hvk_a1b2c3...x9y8, that’s the display shortcut — you needed to copy the full version at the moment of creation. Create a new key and copy it immediately.
