Installation

Prerequisites

• Access to a TheHive 5 instance
• Valid TheHive API token

Downloading Pre-compiled Binaries

You can download pre-compiled binaries for various operating systems from the GitHub Releases page. Download the appropriate binary for your system, make it executable, and place it in your desired location.

Building from Source

git clone <repository-url>
cd mcp-server-thehive
cargo build --release

Configuration

The server requires the following environment variables:

• THEHIVE_URL - TheHive API base URL (default: http://localhost:9000/api)
• THEHIVE_API_TOKEN - TheHive API token (required)
• VERIFY_SSL - Whether to verify SSL certificates (default: false)
• RUST_LOG - Logging level (optional, e.g., debug, info)

Environment File

Create a .env file in the project root:

THEHIVE_URL=https://your-thehive-instance.com/api
THEHIVE_API_TOKEN=your-api-token-here
VERIFY_SSL=true
RUST_LOG=info

Getting a TheHive API Token

1. Log into your TheHive instance
2. Go to User Settings → API Keys
3. Click Create API Key
4. Copy the generated token and use it as THEHIVE_API_TOKEN

Usage

Running the Server

# Using cargo
cargo run

# Using the built binary
./target/release/mcp-server-thehive

Integration with MCP Clients

The server communicates over stdio using the MCP protocol. Configure your MCP client to use this server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thehive": {
      "command": "/path/to/mcp-server-thehive",
      "env": {
        "THEHIVE_URL": "https://your-thehive-instance.com:9000/api",
        "THEHIVE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
