How do I find my Hiveage API Key?

Log in to your Hiveage account, go to **Settings > API**, and you will find your unique API key there. This key is used as the username for Basic Authentication.

What is the Hiveage 'Subdomain'?

The subdomain is the unique part of your Hiveage URL (e.g., if you access Hiveage at `mycompany.hiveage.com`, your subdomain is `mycompany`).

Can I record a partial payment for an invoice?

Yes! When using the `record_payment` tool, you can specify any amount in the `body_json`. Hiveage will automatically update the invoice balance based on the recorded payment.

Is the integration secure for financial data?

Absolutely. The integration uses official Hiveage API keys over HTTPS. Your credentials and billing data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.

Hiveage + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Hiveage MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Hiveage tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
