Hosted Server Guide
Use our hosted MCP servers to connect Claude Desktop to your Hiyve account without self-hosting.
Quick Start
1. Configure Claude Desktop
Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

"transport": "streamable-http"
}
}
}
2. Restart Claude Desktop
After saving the configuration, restart Claude Desktop.
3. Authenticate
On first connection, Claude Desktop will open a browser window for you to log in to your Hiyve account. The OAuth 2.1 flow is handled automatically.
4. Start Using
Ask Claude questions about your meetings:
"Show my rooms"
"What meetings do I have this week?"
"Summarize my last meeting"
"Who do I collaborate with most?"
