About Hive AI MCP Server
Connect your Hive AI moderation account to any AI agent and take full control of your content safety and compliance workflows through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Hive AI data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Real-time Moderation — Perform synchronous moderation for text and images to filter hate speech, violence, and NSFW content instantly.
- AI Content Detection — Identify if text, images, or audio were created using generative AI models like GPT-4, Midjourney, or DALL-E.
- Asynchronous Processing — Submits large video and audio files for deep moderation and speech-to-text analysis.
- Task Monitoring — Track the status and retrieve results for background moderation tasks using unique task IDs.
- Model Insights — List available Hive AI models and retrieve project-specific configurations for both visual and text projects.
- Compliance Oversight — Access detailed moderation scores and classes to ensure your platform remains safe and professional.
The Hive AI MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
