Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bounty": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@weiseer/bounty-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BOUNTY_MCP_URL": "your-value",
        "BOUNTY_MCP_LOCAL_ONLY": "your-value"
      }

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add bounty --env BOUNTY_MCP_URL=your-value --env BOUNTY_MCP_LOCAL_ONLY=your-value -- npx -y @weiseer/bounty-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

Common questions

Is bounty-mcp safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

@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 DIY	bounty-mcp
Token cost per call	$0.02–0.06 (scrape + parse + filter)	$0 free / $0.00005 paid
Latency	2–5 seconds	<100ms
Scam filter	Agent must dedupe known scam-farms	Built-in (SecureBananaLabs / ClankerNation / UnsafeLabs excluded at source)
Cross-PR / cross-claim check	Agent must run timeline queries	Pre-computed
Rate limit risk	10,000 agents scraping → all blocked	Single 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
