What can you do with bounty-mcp?

  • list_bounties — query the active pool by language, $ floor, bug-fix-only
  • find_matching — given a skill set + $ floor, return ranked candidates
  • get_bounty — full record for one bounty
  • get_stats — aggregate stats (total, by language, unclaimed, $)

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package @weiseer/bounty-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add bounty-mcp -e 'BOUNTY_MCP_URL=<BOUNTY_MCP_URL>' -e 'BOUNTY_MCP_LOCAL_ONLY=<BOUNTY_MCP_LOCAL_ONLY>' -- npx -y @weiseer/bounty-mcp@0.1.1
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)

    "mcpServers": {
        "bounty-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [

@weiseer/bounty-mcp

Live coding-bounty deal-flow as a stdio MCP server. For AI agents finding paid coding work.

Built by weiseer. Probe P-002.

What it does

Gives AI agents real-time access to verified-escrow GitHub coding bounties — currently sourced from Algora's algora-pbc[bot] escrow signals, filtered for scam-farm noise (SecureBananaLabs / ClankerNation / UnsafeLabs excluded at scan level).

Your agent can:

  • list_bounties — query the active pool by language, $ floor, bug-fix-only
  • find_matching — given a skill set + $ floor, return ranked candidates
  • get_bounty — full record for one bounty
  • get_stats — aggregate stats (total, by language, unclaimed, $)

Install

npm install -g @weiseer/bounty-mcp

Use with Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline / Continue / Windsurf

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bounty-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@weiseer/bounty-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Why use this instead of your agent scraping Algora itself

Agent DIYbounty-mcp
Token cost per call$0.02–0.06 (scrape + parse + filter)$0 free / $0.00005 paid
Latency2–5 seconds<100ms
Scam filterAgent must dedupe known scam-farmsBuilt-in (SecureBananaLabs / ClankerNation / UnsafeLabs excluded at source)
Cross-PR / cross-claim checkAgent must run timeline queriesPre-computed
Rate limit risk10,000 agents scraping → all blockedSingle coordinated upstream client

What's NOT covered (yet)

  • Opire / Polar.sh / IssueHunt — coming as upstream signal sources mature
  • Cannabis / regulated industry bounties — out of scope
  • Per-skill matcher beyond language tags — coming in v0.2

Schema

See bounties.json in the package. Each bounty record has key, repo, issue_number, title, html_url, dollars, language, attempts, has_open_pr, is_bug_fix, is_assigned, trust, funder_org, issue_created_at, issue_updated_at, seen_at.

Environment

  • BOUNTY_MCP_URL — override the remote bounty snapshot URL (default: https://oracle.weiseer.com/bounties.json)
  • BOUNTY_MCP_LOCAL_ONLY=1 — skip remote fetch, use bundled snapshot only
