I dont know if a new proposal would help with the current situation but at least it is one that look for those that can do more with less.
Regarding the scope, creating an MCP of Hive should be a priority in this case. We have use Claude Opus 4.5 and beyond the good results in many aspects, Hive remains a difficulty for certain actions. An MCP build by Hive core developers and with the use of IA to speed up the process would be heavily beneficial to accomplish a good result from this proposal.
Note that Claude Opus and Claude Code are very different things. Claude Opus on its own didn't amaze me when it came to coding software.
Claude Code (instrumented version of Claude Opus) did amaze me. And it makes programming Hive super easy.
Got it. I haven't tried that, but I think this means an MCP will help those who can't afford Claude Code and don't have the experience to apply for this pilot program.
