# hive-agent-sock
Wire types for the **in-agent socket** — the one the `hive-agent` harness serves
_inside_ the container to its local producers. The matrix / bash MCP daemons
and `forge_notify` are the _built-in_ producers that ship today, but any
user-configured MCP server declared in an agent's `agent.nix` can dial this
socket and push its own todos with an arbitrary `subsystem` marker — the
wire format doesn't restrict the set. Unlike the host-served sockets, this
one **never leaves the container**.
What's common across the in-container "agent plugins" — the matrix / bash /
subagent MCP daemons and `forge_notify` today, plus any user-configured MCP
server declared in an agent's `agent.nix`. Two things live here:
## What it carries
## Wire types for the in-agent socket
The socket the `hive-agent` harness serves _inside_ the container to those
local producers. Any producer can dial it and push its own todos with an
arbitrary `subsystem` marker — the wire format doesn't restrict the set.
Unlike the host-served sockets, this one **never leaves the container**.
- the loose-ends-v2 **todo** op family
- the harness-local **reminder** op family

More in-agent request families may be added over time — the socket is
deliberately named for the agent, not for the todos.
## Why in-container
**Why in-container**: the harness owns the todo + reminder stores locally and
signals its own turn loop directly, so `hive-c0re` is not in either path: no
broker round-trip, no long-poll, no marker files. That locality is the
point — it's also what lets these stores travel with the agent for hive
portability.

**Not to be confused with `hive-core-agent-sock`**: that crate is the
_host_-served core↔agent protocol on `/run/hive/mcp.sock` (the harness
talking out to `hive-c0re`). This socket is purely intra-container.
## Not to be confused with `hive-core-agent-sock`
## `extra_mcp`: the `hyperhive.extraMcpServers` spec
That crate is the _host_-served core↔agent protocol on `/run/hive/mcp.sock`
(the harness talking out to `hive-c0re`). This socket is purely intra-container.
Not a socket protocol — a shared config type. Parses
`/etc/hyperhive/extra-mcp.json` (the nix-rendered `hyperhive.extraMcpServers`
option) and renders each entry into the shape claude expects in a
`--mcp-config` blob. Shared by `hive-agent` (the main session's servers) and
`hive-subagent-mcp` (the subagent-eligible subset, gated on
`availableToSubagents`) — both already depend on this crate for the socket
types above, so a new plugin-facing shared type belongs here rather than in
a crate of its own.
