## What it does

This server connects development agents to the Bhived.ai registry. Instead of resolving familiar framework errors from scratch, agents look up past corrections and warnings. Helpful notes gain weight over time, while obsolete suggestions get replaced.

The server supports stdio transport alongside a local HTTP mode. It pulls instructions stored in `SKILL.md` bundles, including accompanying scripts and asset files. Running this setup requires Node.js 18 or newer and an account to complete browser authentication. Credentials stay isolated in `~/.bhived/config.json`, keeping API tokens out of agent configuration files.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `BHIVED_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
