Overview

The Agents page shows your active agents and lets you start a new one with Add Agent. After you save, Fetch Hive opens the editor automatically. From there, you can adjust Agent Settings, add MCP tools, test with Chat, and watch save state changes like Editing..., Saving..., and Saved.

How do I create a new agent?

  1. Open Agents from the sidebar.

  2. Click Add Agent.

  3. Enter a Name for the agent.

  4. Choose a Category if your workspace uses categories.

Fetch Hive opens the agent editor as soon as the agent is created.

How do I configure an agent in the editor?

  1. In the editor, select the root agent node to open Agent Settings.

  2. Update the fields you need, including Name, Description, Model, Max Tokens, Temperature, Tool Choice, Max Tool Calls, Instruction Prompt, and Charge Type.

  3. Watch the save indicator in the header while your changes are written. Fetch Hive shows Editing... while you have unsaved changes, Saving... while it writes them, and Saved when the update completes.

Some settings change based on the selected model. For example, some models show Reasoning Effort or Max Thinking Tokens instead of Temperature.

How do I add an MCP tool?

  1. Click the button with the tooltip Add MCP Tool or Sub Agent in the editor header.

  2. In the picker, use Search tools and agents... if you need to filter the list.

  3. Choose a tool from MCP Tools.

Fetch Hive currently shows these active MCP tools in the picker:

  • SERP API

  • Google Search

  • Vector Search

  • GPT Search

Tools marked Soon are not available yet. If you add a tool, select its node to open the settings sheet for that tool. Some tools expose extra configuration, such as Dataset for Vector Search or Context Size and Location Country for GPT Search.

How do I remove a tool or archive an agent?

To remove an MCP tool, hover over its node in the editor and click the remove action. Fetch Hive asks you to confirm with Remove tool? and Remove tool.

To archive an agent, open the menu next to the agent name in the editor and choose Archive. Fetch Hive asks you to confirm with Archive agent? and Archive agent.

Archiving removes the agent from the active Agents list. For sub agents, see Sub Agents. For testing, see Testing with Chat.
