Security Report

6.2
Moderate6.2Moderate Risk

Well-designed MCP server with strong security practices. The server acts as a thin adapter to the 5dive CLI, properly avoiding credential handling, using safe argument passing (no shell), and implementing input validation. Permissions are appropriate for its purpose as a developer tool. Minor code quality findings do not substantially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

5dive MCP server

npm Awesome MCP Servers

Expose the 5dive agent-fleet CLI as Model Context Protocol tools. Point any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or your own) at this stdio server to file tasks, inspect and message agents, and read the fleet digest — directly from inside a model context.

5dive is the CLI + control plane for running a fleet of autonomous coding agents as a self-governing company. This server is a thin, honest adapter: every tool shells out to the local 5dive binary's machine-readable --json surface and returns the result — so it inherits the CLI's auth, permissions, and audit log for free, and never handles secrets itself.

Tools

ToolWrapsWhat it does
task_create5dive task addFile a task in the shared queue (title, body, priority, assignee, parent).
task_show5dive task showFull detail for one task by id (status, body, result, subtasks, blockers).
task_list5dive task lsList tasks (open by default; filter by status / assignee).
agent_send5dive agent sendSend a message to another agent on the fleet.
agent_list5dive agent listList every agent: type, channels, model, live state.
digest_get5dive digestFleet daily standup digest (window: "7d" for the weekly view).

Requirements

  • Node.js >= 18
  • The 5dive CLI installed and on PATH (curl https://install.5dive.ai | sudo bash).

Install & run

npx @5dive/mcp        # run directly
# or
npm i -g @5dive/mcp && 5dive-mcp

Client config (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "5dive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@5dive/mcp"],
      "env": { "FIVEDIVE_SUDO": "1" }
    }
  }
}

Configuration (env vars)

VarDefaultPurpose
FIVEDIVE_BIN5divePath to the 5dive binary.
FIVEDIVE_SUDO(unset)Set to 1 to prefix calls with sudo. Managed 5dive boxes require root for most subcommands; leave unset if you already run as root.
FIVEDIVE_TIMEOUT_MS30000Per-call timeout in milliseconds.

Safety

Arguments are passed to the CLI as an argv array with no shell, so tool input can never be interpreted as shell syntax. The server never sees secrets: the CLI reads its own credentials from the box.

Scope

This mirrors a curated slice of the CLI (tasks, agents, digest), not its full surface. It is a distribution and convenience layer, not a new API. For everything else, use the 5dive CLI directly (5dive --help). Full docs: https://5dive.ai/docs/5dive-cli
