BeeMCP Skill

Use this when you want Bee wearable context in AssistClaw through MCP only, without the Bee CLI (@beeai/cli) and without bee proxy.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

• You already have a Bee developer API key.
• You want Bee tools exposed as MCP tool namespaces (bee:*).
• You prefer one integration path for multiple MCP clients.

❌ DON'T use when:

• You need bee sync markdown exports (use skills/bee).
• You rely on Bee CLI commands like bee today / bee now.

Setup

1. Export Bee API key

export BEE_API_KEY="your_bee_api_key"

2. Register BeeMCP with AssistClaw

assistclaw mcp add --name bee \
  --command "uvx beemcp" \
  --env BEE_API_KEY=$BEE_API_KEY

3. Verify the server and tools

assistclaw mcp status
assistclaw mcp list-tools | grep '^bee:'

Typical Workflow

Ask AssistClaw naturally after BeeMCP is connected:

• "What did I talk about in the last hour?"
• "Search my Bee memory for project roadmap notes."
• "Create a todo from this summary."

The agent will lazy-load BeeMCP tool schemas and call them as needed.

Optional: Add BeeMCP in config

mcp:
  clients:
    - name: bee
      command: "uvx beemcp"
      env:
        - "BEE_API_KEY=${BEE_API_KEY}"

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
No bee:* tools listed	Confirm BEE_API_KEY is exported in the daemon environment
MCP client fails to spawn	Verify uvx exists: uvx --version
Tool calls return auth errors	Rotate key in Bee dashboard and restart AssistClaw

Notes

• BeeMCP is a community integration; APIs may change between releases.
• Keep BEE_API_KEY in environment/secret manager, never hardcode in files.
• If you need local markdown exports and proxy endpoints, use skills/bee.
