5dive MCP server
Expose the 5dive agent-fleet CLI as Model Context Protocol tools. Point any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or your own) at this stdio server to file tasks, inspect and message agents, and read the fleet digest — directly from inside a model context.
5dive is the CLI + control plane for running a fleet of
autonomous coding agents as a self-governing company. This server is a thin,
honest adapter: every tool shells out to the local 5dive binary's
machine-readable --json surface and returns the result — so it inherits the
CLI's auth, permissions, and audit log for free, and never handles secrets itself.
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
5diveCLI installed and onPATH(curl https://install.5dive.ai | 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). Full docs: https://5dive.ai/docs/5dive-cli
