## Credit definition

One credit equals one tool call. A tool call is one MCP `tools/call` invocation or one REST `/api/v1/execute` request, regardless of:

- The upstream provider Hive proxies to (CoinGecko, DeFiLlama, GoPlus, Codex, CCXT, GoldRush, Helius, Tenderly, Moralis)
- The size of the response payload
- Whether the call returns cached or fresh data

## Endpoints

- MCP base URL: https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz
- REST execute: POST https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/api/v1/execute
- Tool discovery: GET https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/api/v1/tools
- Authentication: `x-api-key: <YOUR_HIVE_API_KEY>` or `Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_HIVE_API_KEY>`

## Comparison vs alternatives (price-per-tool basis)

For an agent making 500K tool calls per month across mixed crypto domains, the practical alternative to Hive's $129 Analyst plan is stitching together:

- CoinGecko Pro ($129/mo for 500K calls, market data only)
- Moralis Pro (~$259/mo for ~3M calls, wallet/NFT only)
- DefiLlama Premium (~$300/mo, DeFi only)
- GoPlus paid plan (security only)
- Helius / GoldRush separately for chain RPC

Stitched cost: $700+/mo with five integrations to maintain. Hive: $129/mo with one.
