Dibs (Hive Commons) — Claude Code MCP server: setup guide
Routes software concepts from your agent session to open source projects. Creators gain GitHub credit while project-managed agent swarms implement the code.
claude mcp add --transport http dibs https://dibs.hivecommons.dev/mcpWhat Dibs (Hive Commons) does
The integration connects to https://dibs.hivecommons.dev/mcp using streamable HTTP transport. It lets you register feature ideas directly within your coding session without cloning source repositories or configuring development environments. Dibs matches these text submissions with opted-in repositories that delegate backlog tasks to autonomous agents.
Settlement works through a pre-filled issue URL rather than hidden background commits. Because Dibs avoids posting issues automatically under generic credentials, the originator files the ticket manually to preserve individual GitHub attribution with the ideated tag. Implemented submissions are subsequently cataloged on the public contributor board.
What it helps with
- propose feature concepts to participating repositories from the agent prompt
- retain GitHub attribution on accepted ideas via the
ideatedtag - route architectural suggestions to agent swarms without filing pull requests
Example prompts for the agent
- Submit an idea to Dibs proposing SQLite database support
- Send a concept to Dibs suggesting parser performance improvements

It pairs idea authors with repositories whose internal agent swarms execute incoming work. Originators get public credit on the contributor board once their proposal is shipped.
Does Dibs open GitHub issues autonomously?
Under the standard workflow it does not. The server provides a pre-populated URL so you can submit the issue yourself from your own account.
