Integrations
Bee MCP Server
Connect Bee to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Zed, Windsurf, or OpenCode via the Model Context Protocol - Anthropic’s open standard for LLM ↔ tool integration. Bee ships 14 governed tools - core intelligence, provenance, usage, documents, memory, and durable quantum-reasoning workflows - over a hosted gateway (no GPU or model download). The catalog is filtered by your plan, settings, and purchased product; the core tools work with the free tier.
Install in one step
Add Bee to Cursor with a single click, or paste the config below into any MCP client. Both use uvx, which fetches bee-sdk and runs the bee-mcp server for you. Then set your BEE_API_KEY (create one at account → API keys; the free Cell tier works).
VS Code: code --add-mcp '{"name":"bee","command":"uvx","args":["--from","bee-sdk@latest","bee-mcp"]}' - or search @mcp in the Extensions view.
Manual install
- 1. Install the server. The
bee-mcpserver ships with the Python SDK (zero extra deps):pip install bee-sdk # provides the bee-mcp console script # or run with no install: uvx --from bee-sdk@latest bee-mcp
- 2. Get a key. Create a
bee_sk_key at account → API keys and export it asBEE_API_KEY. - 3. Wire your client. Add the config for your editor below.

Tools exposed (up to 8)
Each tool routes through the appropriate domain LoRA adapter on the hosted gateway. If an adapter isn’t promoted for a domain yet, the tool still answers from the base model - without domain specialisation. Honest fallback, no silent failure.
| Tool | Purpose | Domain adapter |
|---|---|---|
| bee_chat | Ask Bee anything; optional domain specialist + model tier | any domain (plan-limited) |
| bee_code | Explain, fix, refactor, or write tests - pick via `action` | programming |
| bee_security | Code audit, threat model, authorised pentest assist, or smart-contract review - pick via `task` | cybersecurity / blockchain |
| bee_research | Quantum-circuit design or paper critique - pick via `task` | quantum / research |
| bee_verify_provenance | Verify a sealed agent session and its ML-DSA-65 signature evidence | agent provenance |
| bee_usage | Inspect your plan, pooled usage, tier allowances, and reset times | authenticated account |
| bee_documents_search | Search your documents (RAG) - top matching chunks | plans with RAG |
| bee_documents_add | Add a document to your knowledge base | plans with RAG |
| bee_memory_search | Recall facts from your personal memory | memory opt-in |
| bee_memory_add | Remember a fact for future conversations | memory opt-in |
| bee_quantum_reasoning_run | Create a durable Quantum Reasoning Lab job after explicit product selection | eligible Hive / Swarm product |
| bee_quantum_reasoning_jobs | List retained Quantum Reasoning Lab jobs and capabilities | eligible Hive / Swarm product |
| bee_quantum_reasoning_get | Inspect job status, evidence, usage, fallback state, and receipt | eligible Hive / Swarm product |
| bee_quantum_reasoning_remove | Cancel an eligible queued job or erase terminal-job content | explicit user intent required |
