Hive Tax Observer

Hive Tax Observer

[srotzin/hive-mcp-tax-observer MCP server]

Observational tax-event tracking for crypto transactions. Real on-chain rails. Not tax advice. Not tax filing.

Hive does not provide tax advice or filing services. This is observational transaction data only. Consult a licensed tax professional for compliance decisions.

hive-mcp-tax-observer is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that classifies a settled on-chain transaction into one of four observational kinds — sale, swap, income, or transfer — and surfaces the cost-basis-relevant inputs (holder, asset, amount, counterparty, timestamp) your own basis tracker needs. Real reads against Base mainnet, Ethereum mainnet, and Solana mainnet via public RPC.

We do not compute cost basis. We do not file taxes. We do not generate 1099s or any tax forms. Every response — including health, errors, and bulk responses — carries the observational disclaimer.

What this is

• Protocol: MCP 2024-11-05 over Streamable-HTTP / JSON-RPC 2.0
• Transport: POST /mcp
• Discovery: GET /.well-known/mcp.json
• Health: GET /health (200, brand_color, disclaimer, enabled, supported_chains)
• Backend: https://hivemorph.onrender.com — /v1/tax/*
• Brand: Hive Civilization gold #C08D23 (Pantone 1245 C)

Classification model

Every classification is observational and derived from on-chain data alone:

A taxable_signal: true flag is set when the kind is one of sale, swap, or income. This is not a tax determination. It is a heuristic signal derived from the agent-supplied tx hash.
