The problems Hive solves
- Assigned work goes stale because priorities moved and the issue didn’t.
- Meeting actions evaporate because nobody writes them into Jira.
- Context lives in five tools (GitHub, Jira, Slack, Sentry, docs), so answering a simple status question takes a search in each one.
- Internal tools and APIs don’t have a ready-made connector.
What Hive catches
The GitHub and Jira stale-work signals are switched on per workspace. Ask support if you’d like them. Hive reads at most 5,000 assigned items per run.
Meetings into tickets
The Meeting to Tasks template starts from a short form where you paste a meeting transcript, give the Jira project key for the new issues, and give an email address for the recap: Each Jira issue goes through the approval gate: writes to a connected tool, such as creating a Jira issue, wait for a person to approve them whatever the autonomy setting. See Workflow templates and Autonomy and blast radius.Actions Hive can propose
With autonomy set to Draft, Hive can propose engineering changes for approval:- GitHub: create, comment on, update, close or reopen issues, and add labels.
- Jira: create, comment on, assign, transition, update or label issues.
- Sentry (through its MCP server or connector): assign, comment on, resolve or ignore issues.
- Slack: post a message or reply in a thread.
Merged-PR summaries in Slack
Hive can post a summary of merged pull requests from selected GitHub repositories to a Slack channel. It posts through the configuring member’s own Slack connection, so updates reach the team without anyone writing release notes by hand.Bring your own systems
- MCP servers. Connect any Model Context Protocol server over HTTPS, including the official Linear, Sentry, Notion and Stripe servers. Tools are pinned when you connect, so a server can’t quietly change them later. Every tool is treated as high-risk until an operator says otherwise. See MCP servers.
- Incoming webhooks. Send HMAC-signed JSON events from CI, monitoring or internal tools. See Incoming webhooks and Webhook signing.
Ask Hive for status
- What’s assigned to me in Jira and GitHub that hasn’t moved in two weeks?
- Summarise open pull requests in the payments repo.
- Which Sentry issues in the web project are unresolved and assigned to nobody?
- Draft a Slack update for #eng on what shipped this week.
For IT
- Access reviews. Okta can suspend a user, which Hive treats as a revoke-access action (B4, highest risk). It always needs approval and can be reversed by unsuspending.
- Workspace control. Admins decide which connectors members can use, see which accounts are connected (metadata only), and can stop everything with the kill switch.
- Security posture. Read the security overview and data protection.
