What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Search & AI memory
You need to fill in: BEE_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: BEE_API_KEY, BEE_MODEL, BEE_API_URL

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bee": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "bee-sdk"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BEE_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "BEE_MODEL": "your-value",
        "BEE_API_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add bee --env BEE_API_KEY=your-value --env BEE_MODEL=your-value --env BEE_API_URL=your-value -- uvx bee-sdk

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bee": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "bee-sdk"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BEE_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "BEE_MODEL": "your-value",
        "BEE_API_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "bee": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "bee-sdk"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BEE_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "BEE_MODEL": "your-value",
        "BEE_API_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

BEE_API_KEY secret required env
Bee API key (bee_sk_…). Create one at https://bee.cuilabs.io/app/account/api-keys — the free Cell tier works.
BEE_MODEL env
Default model tier (bee-cell … bee-swarm). Tier access follows the API key's plan. Default: bee-cell (free).
BEE_API_URL env
Override the gateway base URL (default https://bee.cuilabs.io/bee). Set only for a self-hosted Bee Enclave or staging.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Bee — The Progressive Intelligence Engine safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: BEE_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.6.0) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Bee: Quantum Intelligence™

Website | Documentation | Packages | Machine-readable package index | System status

The public developer distribution for Bee, HEOSSI's governed multimodal intelligence platform. This repository contains the actual source of Bee's Apache-2.0 SDKs, MCP integration, API contracts, runnable examples, and public trust-verification material.

This repository is generated from reviewed, public-safe paths in the Bee monorepo. MANIFEST.json records the exact source commit and content digest for every export; SHA256SUMS and the SPDX SBOM support independent artifact inspection.

Developer surface

The canonical package catalog records each public developer distribution, exact version, registry, role, license boundary, and install command. Its machine-readable companion is PACKAGE-INDEX.json. These distributions do not expose the private Bee service monorepo.

Surface	Install or entry point	Source / contract
TypeScript SDK	`npm install @heossihq/bee`	`sdks/typescript`
Python SDK	`pip install bee-sdk`	`sdks/python`
MCP server	`uvx --from bee-sdk@latest bee-mcp`	`mcp` · `server.json`
OpenAI-compatible API	`https://api.bee.heossi.com/bee`	`openapi.json` · `postman.json`
Bee: Quantum Intelligence - Code	`Heossi.beecode`	Microsoft Marketplace · Open VSX
Bee Code CLI	`npm install -g @heossihq/beecode`	Download guide
PQ assurance	Signed public coverage register	`trust/pq-register`

Quickstart

import { BeeClient } from "@heossihq/bee";

const bee = new BeeClient({ apiKey: process.env.BEE_API_KEY! }); const result = await bee.chat.completions.create({ model: "bee-cell", messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain hybrid post-quantum TLS." }], });

console.log(result.choices[0].message.content);

Create an API key in Bee Workspace. The free Cell tier works with both SDKs and MCP.

Procurement or technical diligence	MANIFEST.json, SHA256SUMS, SPDX SBOM, and NOTICE	Export provenance, file integrity, package inventory, licensing, and the public/proprietary boundary

Architecture and scenarios

Start with the public reference architecture, then follow the control boundary through three concrete flows:

governed coding in an IDE
tenant-scoped knowledge retrieval
explicit quantum reasoning

The matching visual architecture centre is published at bee.heossi.com/docs/architecture.

Bee Code's agent path is durable, subscription-bounded, and independently metered. Workspace, mobile, desktop, SDK, and MCP requests retain their own documented execution contracts; common entitlement enforcement does not imply that every surface has local IDE tools.

Integrity and provenance

The public distribution is locally rendered from an allowlisted monorepo surface. Verify it with:

sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS

python3 scripts/verify_bee_package_index.py PACKAGE-INDEX.json

SHA256SUMS covers every exported payload file except itself and the commit-specific MANIFEST.json. The manifest separately binds the export to its source commit and contains a deterministic digest of the complete payload. The SPDX document is package-level (filesAnalyzed: false); it inventories the published SDK and MCP packages without claiming a binary or deployment SBOM.

Public and proprietary boundary

The files in this repository are Apache-2.0 licensed. Bee's model engine, orchestration plane, hosted gateway, Bee Code CLI implementation, editor-extension implementation, and commercial applications remain proprietary and are not represented as open source here. Public API and package behavior is defined by the contracts and SDK source in this repository.
