# Dibs (Hive Commons)

Routes software concepts from your agent session to open source projects. Creators gain GitHub credit while project-managed agent swarms implement the code.

## What it 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.

## Requirements
- Needs: a prebuilt binary from the repository releases
- Remote server: `https://dibs.hivecommons.dev/mcp`

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http dibs https://dibs.hivecommons.dev/mcp
```

### Codex

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
codex mcp add dibs-hive-commons --url https://dibs.hivecommons.dev/mcp
```

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "dibs-hive-commons": {
            "url": "https://dibs.hivecommons.dev/mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "dibs-hive-commons": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://dibs.hivecommons.dev/mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
gemini mcp add -t http dibs-hive-commons https://dibs.hivecommons.dev/mcp
```

## When to use it
- propose feature concepts to participating repositories from the agent prompt
- retain GitHub attribution on accepted ideas via the `ideated` tag
- route architectural suggestions to agent swarms without filing pull requests

## Example prompts
- Submit an idea to Dibs proposing SQLite database support
- Send a concept to Dibs suggesting parser performance improvements
