MCP Overview

The Print Hive MCP server lets AI assistants and automation clients connect to authorized print farm context through the Model Context Protocol. The current server registers 142 tools: 48 Hex-visible read tools, 2 Hex-visible library writes, 15 Hex-visible approval-gated actions, and 77 broader server tools that are available only to appropriately scoped non-Hex MCP clients.

Quick setup

Copy the setup prompt and paste it into any agent that supports MCP. The menu also opens the prompt in ChatGPT or Claude, adds the connection to Cursor or VS Code, and copies a Grok Bot version.

Help me connect Print Hive (https://www.printhiv3d.com) to this assistant so you can answer questions about my 3D print farm.

Read the current setup guide at https://www.printhiv3d.com/docs/mcp first. Use the instructions for this client and preserve any existing MCP servers or configuration.

The Print Hive Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint is https://api.printhiv3d.com/v1/mcp. Guide me through adding Print Hive and completing its OAuth sign-in. Do not add an API key or x-api-key header. I need a Print Hive account with access to an organization; if I don't have one, help me get started at https://app.printhiv3d.com/signup. Let me complete sign-in, organization selection, and authorization myself. Never ask me to paste tokens, API keys, claim codes, or printer access codes into chat.

If this client cannot configure a connection directly, show me the manual steps from the client guide. Do not claim the connection succeeded until a read-only Print Hive tool call has verified it.

After connecting, list my printers, separating connectivity from print activity, and tell me what to do next on the farm. Do not start, stop, heat, or move a printer to test the connection.

Why MCP for Print Farms?

  • Current farm context — Hex can re-read printers, jobs, queues, materials, network health, and recommendation receipts before answering.
  • Operator-safe actions — Hex can request narrow actions such as guided filament rotation only after explicit operator approval.
  • Scoped integrations — API keys can be limited to read, control, or dangerous tool tiers.
  • Developer workflows — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, Grok Bot, and custom MCP clients can use the same documented endpoint.

Base URL

https://api.printhiv3d.com/v1/mcp

The server uses the Streamable HTTP transport (MCP spec 2025-03-26). All communication happens on the single endpoint above via POST, GET, and DELETE.

Authentication and Scopes

The MCP server supports three authentication methods:

  • OAuth — Recommended for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, Grok Bot, and other public connectors. OAuth uses authorization discovery, binds the connection to the user's selected organization, and grants the public plugin set after consent. That set includes printers:write and jobs:write so tools such as printers_set_ready and job_duplicate_last_on_printer can run after one human grant. Empty API keys stay read only. OAuth does not grant dangerous printer operations. If a live OAuth connection returns insufficient_oauth_scope, remove the MCP connection and add it again so consent can include those write domains. If the error is insufficient_scope, the connector is an API key — OAuth reconnect cannot fix it. Mint or upgrade the key in Settings → API Keys: Library write (models:write) for model_create, Control for printer motion.
  • API Key — Send the x-api-key header with your organization API key for a private, operator-managed integration. API keys are evaluated against read, models:write (Library write), control, and dangerous scopes. Empty or legacy scope arrays default to read. Library write can create model metadata without printer motion.
  • Bearer Token — Send Authorization: Bearer <token> with a valid Supabase JWT. User sessions are revalidated against the active organization.

Hex Agent uses a user-scoped Bearer connection plus an allow-list. Read tools dispatch immediately. The five mutating tools visible to Hex are parked behind per-action approval. Broad printer control, hardware control, file write, raw G-code, temperature, and stop-print tools are not exposed to Hex.

Tool Reference

Current registered tools, grouped by operational area. The Scope column is the MCP server authorization tier. The Hex access column shows what the Print Hive Smart Assistant can see.

Fleet and printer state

Read printer inventory, live state, AMS/extruder state, local files, and temperature telemetry.

printers_listRead-only
read

List printers in the organization, including connectivity (`offline` / `is_connected`), print activity (`status`), and tags.

printers_queryRead-only
read

Select printers by safe criteria such as status, tags, ready verification, bed-clear verification, no AMS, and not locked. A prefixed tag matches its value and its key: value label. The prefix key alone does not match. Tags are labels, not rack, row, or bay.

printer_requirementsNot exposed to Hex
read

Return generic connection slots (secret, identifier, host, port) for a printer brand and model. Does not write. Does not accept vendor column names. Unknown types are not defaulted to Bambu.

printer_live_statusRead-only
read

Get real-time printer state including temperatures, progress, speeds, fans, and AMS data.

printer_status_cardNot exposed to Hex
read

Render a 1280×720 Status Card JPEG: the printer's latest camera frame with a live telemetry overlay. Returns the image, the same text summary as printer_live_status, and structured card data. Frames older than 60 seconds are dimmed and labeled LAST FRAME; frames older than 15 minutes render CAMERA UNAVAILABLE. The `overlay` argument selects `full` (default), `minimal` (slim bottom strip), or `none` (bare frame).

printer_research_planNot exposed to Hex
read

Resolve the current organization-scoped printer identity and checked-in motion profile, then return a read-only camera-coverage proposal when `recipe` is `camera_coverage` or omitted. The tool sends no hold, release, capture, or printer command and does not prove clearance, homing, plate state, or current Z.

printer_amsRead-only
read

Get Bambu AMS tray state or Snapmaker/Klipper toolchanger extruder state, including material, color, and remaining amount.

printer_filament_stateRead-only
read

Read the current Guided Filament Rotation lifecycle state for a printer.

Jobs, queue, compatibility, and risk

Read print job records, history, schedulability, risk, and model-file printer compatibility.

jobs_listRead-only
read

List one page of print jobs in the organization, newest first (at most 200), optionally filtered by status or printer. Sets `jobs_truncated` when older matching jobs were left out, so a page is never mistaken for the whole queue or used as a job count — `queue_health` owns queue totals.

read

Get detailed information about a specific print job.

jobs_historyRead-only
read

Get event history for a specific print job.

Client Setup Guides

The official Claude Code marketplace is published at PrintHive/print-hive-plugins. Cursor has a real one-click install deeplink. Claude Desktop, Codex, ChatGPT, and Grok Bot use their documented setup paths — no invented install buttons.

How It Works

When a client connects to the Print Hive MCP server, it receives the tools available to that connection and their schemas. Tool handlers authenticate the request, bind it to the active organization, enforce the required scope, and then execute through the same Print Hive API and Pulse/HiveLink trust boundary used by the product.

Live printer operations are routed through the Pulse WebSocket relay to the local HiveLink instance, which communicates with printers on the local network. Database-backed reads such as jobs, queue state, recommendation receipts, operator annotations, and telemetry are read through org-scoped backend services.
