Add MCP Connector for Claude Cowork Integration

I'd like to request a Hive MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector to enable native integration with Claude Cowork, Anthropic's desktop AI tool for automating file and task management.
MCP is an open protocol that lets AI assistants like Claude connect directly to external tools and services. With a Hive MCP connector, Claude Cowork users could interact with their Hive workspace hands-free — without copy-pasting, switching tabs, or manual data entry.
What this would enable:
- Read and update tasks, projects, and assignees directly from Claude
- Automatically create tasks or subtasks based on meeting notes, emails, or documents
- Query project status and generate summaries or reports
- Pull action items from conversations and log them to Hive instantly
- Trigger Hive automations from natural language prompts
How to build it:
Hive would publish an MCP server (open spec at modelcontextprotocol.io) that exposes its core API actions as MCP tools. Anthropic and the Cowork team handle the rest. This is a relatively lightweight lift with a high-visibility payoff for AI-forward teams.

John Furneaux, exciting! However, I'm trying to connect to the MCP server at hivemind.hive.com and getting a DNS resolution failure. I'll contact support for help.

John Furneaux Hi! thank you so much for your attention to this. Would it be possible to add Time in the MCP? We do not see that available and my team would love to help us add time automatically from our Google Calendar into Hive using Claude Cowork.
We tested the MCP and these are our findings. What we worried the mos twas the time issue:
What Claude Cannot Do with Hive
Log time / add time entries — the API returns time data but the MCP has no write tool for it
Set time estimates — same issue, read-only
Update deadlines or dates — no update ActionsDeadline tool exists
Re-parent / move actions — must archive and recreate to change parent
Delete actions — only archive is available
Get workspace members by name — getUsersWorkspaces tool returns errors; member lookup requires workarounds
