Hive MCP Server

Overview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides database interaction and business intelligence capabilities through Hive. This server enables running HQL queries, analyzing business data, and automatically generating business insight memos.

Components

The server exposes a single dynamic resource:

• memo://insights: A continuously updated business insights memo that aggregates discovered insights during analysis
  • Auto-updates as new insights are discovered via the append-insight tool

Prompts

The server provides a demonstration prompt:

• mcp-demo: Interactive prompt that guides users through database operations
  • Required argument: topic - The business domain to analyze
  • Guides users through analysis and insight generation
  • Integrates with the business insights memo
