5dive MCP server

A Model Context Protocol (stdio) server that exposes the 5dive agent-fleet CLI as MCP tools. Point any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or your own) at it to file tasks, inspect and message agents, and read the fleet digest from inside a model context.

It is a thin, honest adapter: every tool shells out to the local 5dive binary's machine-readable --json surface and returns the result. The CLI does all the real work, so the server inherits its auth, permissions, and audit log for free.

Tools

Tool	Wraps	What it does
task_create	5dive task add	File a task in the shared queue (title, body, priority, assignee, parent).
task_show	5dive task show	Full detail for one task by id (status, body, result, subtasks, blockers).
task_list	5dive task ls	List tasks (open by default; filter by status / assignee).
agent_send	5dive agent send	Send a message to another agent on the fleet.
agent_list	5dive agent list	List every agent: type, channels, model, live state.
digest_get	5dive digest	Fleet daily standup digest (window: "7d" for the weekly view).

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18
• The 5dive CLI installed and on PATH (curl https://install.5dive.com | sudo bash).

Install & run

npx @5dive/mcp        # run directly
# or
npm i -g @5dive/mcp && 5dive-mcp

Client config (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "5dive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@5dive/mcp"],
      "env": { "FIVEDIVE_SUDO": "1" }
    }
  }
}

Configuration (env vars)

Var	Default	Purpose
FIVEDIVE_BIN	5dive	Path to the 5dive binary.
FIVEDIVE_SUDO	(unset)	Set to 1 to prefix calls with sudo. Managed 5dive boxes require root for most subcommands; leave unset if you already run as root.
FIVEDIVE_TIMEOUT_MS	30000	Per-call timeout in milliseconds.

Safety

Arguments are passed to the CLI as an argv array with no shell, so tool input can never be interpreted as shell syntax. The server never sees secrets: the CLI reads its own credentials from the box.

Scope

This mirrors a curated slice of the CLI (tasks, agents, digest), not its full surface. It is a distribution and convenience layer, not a new API. For everything else, use the 5dive CLI directly (5dive --help).
