MCP Server
Scopes & Limits
Key scopes, rate limits, and key management for the HiveBoss MCP server.
Key scopes
| Scope | recall | recall_sources | retrieve | read_source | trace_provenance | related_nodes | remember | provide_feedback |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| readonly | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| readwrite | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Use a readonly key when you only want the agent to search and read. Use a readwrite key when you want the agent to save or update knowledge.
Rate limits
| Tool type | Limit |
|---|---|
| Read tools (recall, recall_sources, retrieve, read_source, trace_provenance) | 60 calls / minute |
| Write tools (remember, provide_feedback) | 20 calls / minute |
If you exceed the limit you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response. Wait a moment and retry.
Key management
- Keys are shown once at creation — copy and store them safely
- Keys expire after 1 year automatically
- You can revoke a key at any time from Org Settings → API Keys
- Every tool call is logged — you can see when each key was last used in the dashboard
- If a key is compromised, revoke it immediately and generate a new one
