We are excited to announce the release of Myrmex Hive (formerly MCP-Hive), a secure and lightweight agent orchestrator and gateway built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
What is Myrmex Hive?
In nature, a myrmex (ant) colony is a marvel of decentralized cooperation. Millions of individual units perform specialized roles with no central ruler, yet their collective output is highly organized and effective.
Myrmex Hive mirrors this design. Individual, lightweight agents connect securely to a central gateway through outbound SSH tunnels (bypassing any inbound firewall constraints). Once connected, the gateway orchestrates these agents using local and remote MCP servers.
Cruvbox Theme & Monospace Focus
This release drops unnecessary UI decoration. Emojis, flashy icons, and modern bloat have been stripped in favor of a clean, high-contrast, Gruvbox Dark monospace theme. It is optimized for speed, readability, and low cognitive overhead.
Code Compilation & Deployment
The gateway is built in pure Go and runs seamlessly inside a multi-node Docker Compose test environment.
To initialize the environment and run the test suite:
just docker-test
All 7 core integration tests verify agent tools registration, metrics collection, command white-listing, log reading, and Gemma syslog humanization.
