# Welcome

NeoHive makes Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and every MCP agent aware of your actual codebase and your team's knowledge, indexed locally, on your machine.

## The problem

Your coding agent doesn't know your code. It doesn't know your team's conventions, that you migrated off that library last quarter, or that the function it just confidently called doesn't exist. Every session starts from zero, and you spend your time correcting instead of shipping.

Pasting code into chat windows doesn't scale: you're capped by the context window, it's manual every time, and static files like `CLAUDE.md` grow into unsearchable walls of text.

## What NeoHive does

NeoHive runs as a local Docker container and connects to your agents over MCP. It indexes your repositories, learns your conventions, and feeds the right context to your agent at the right moment.

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><i class="fa-magnifying-glass">:magnifying-glass:</i></td><td><strong>Aware of your codebase</strong></td><td>Indexes your repositories and makes them searchable by meaning: your agent finds the right code by understanding what it does, not by guessing at filenames.</td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-book-open">:book-open:</i></td><td><strong>Learns your team's knowledge</strong></td><td>Conventions, decisions, debugging insights, and gotchas are stored as searchable, persistent memory. What one person teaches their agent benefits everyone.</td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-puzzle-piece">:puzzle-piece:</i></td><td><strong>Works across every tool</strong></td><td>Claude Code, Claude App, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Windsurf: NeoHive feeds context to whichever agent you use. Your team isn't locked into one.</td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-laptop">:laptop:</i></td><td><strong>Private and local</strong></td><td>Everything runs in a container on your machine. Zero outbound calls: no code leaves your environment.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Setup takes under 30 minutes, from install to your first context-aware answer.

## Better with your whole team

NeoHive gets more powerful as more people use it. When one person corrects their agent, teaches it a convention, or debugs a tricky issue, that knowledge is available to every agent connected to the same project. A teammate who joins next month starts with all the context the team has already built, no onboarding doc required.

That's the difference between per-user memory (which only helps you) and shared context (which helps everyone). NeoHive treats the team, not the individual, as the unit of knowledge.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.neohive.ai/welcome.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
