SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables programmatic access to HiveBoard's core GraphQL API for reading boards, columns, tasks, and agent runs, empowering automation, dashboards, and integrations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read surface: query current user, boards, tasks, and related metadata (agentStatus, blockReason, etc.) to build dashboards or automation workflows.
  • Real-time updates: subscribe to task and workspace events via the GraphQL SSE subscriptions for live UI or automation reactions.
  • Action surface: perform mutations to create/update boards and tasks, dispatch agents (plan/implement/revise) or playbooks, manage secrets, and control workflow behavior.

Quick Start

Use a simple GraphQL query against the HiveBoard GraphQL endpoint to fetch a board and its tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I access HiveBoard data via a GraphQL API for automation?

Access HiveBoard data by sending HTTP POST requests to its GraphQL endpoint, using queries for user-centric data like boards and tasks, and mutations for actions like createTask. This enables programmatic integration into automation workflows.

Can I get real-time updates for kanban tasks using GraphQL subscriptions?

Yes, you can get real-time updates for kanban tasks via Server-Sent Events (SSE) subscriptions. The HiveBoard GraphQL API supports SSE to deliver live task and workspace events for immediate automation or dashboard reactions.

What GraphQL mutations are available to manage boards and dispatch agents?

Available GraphQL mutations include createTask, runAgent, setTaskSecret, and actions to playbooks. These allow you to programmatically update boards, dispatch agents for plan, implement, or revise workflows, and manage workspace secrets.

How do I query current user and task details from a kanban board?

Query current user and task details using GraphQL queries like me, boards, and task details. These return metadata including agentStatus and blockReason, allowing you to build comprehensive dashboards or automation logic.

Does the HiveBoard GraphQL API require any external dependencies?

No, the HiveBoard GraphQL API operates without external dependencies. It provides a standard HTTP POST endpoint and SSE subscriptions natively, requiring no additional libraries to integrate kanban state and agent orchestration data.

What is the best way to integrate agent orchestration data into custom dashboards?

The best way to integrate agent orchestration data into dashboards is using the GraphQL API's read surface. Query agentStatus and task metadata via HTTP POST, then subscribe to SSE events for live updates to keep your dashboard synchronized.
