• Claude Desktop (or any MCP-compatible client)

Install Dependencies

bun install

Build (for Node.js)

bun run build

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Using Bun (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bounty-board": {
      "command": "bun",
      "args": ["run", "/absolute/path/to/bounty-mcp-server/src/index.ts"],
      "env": {
        "WALLET_ADDRESS": "0xYourWalletAddressHere"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using Node.js (after building)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bounty-board": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/bounty-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "WALLET_ADDRESS": "0xYourWalletAddressHere"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Usage Examples

Once configured, you can interact with the bounty board through Claude:

Example Claude Conversations Showing Usage

Discover Bounties

"Show me all open bounties" "What bounties are available with the 'typescript' tag?" "Search for bounties related to dashboards"

Inspect a Bounty

"Get details on bounty #42" "What are the requirements for bounty #98?"

Claim and Submit

"Claim bounty #24 for me" "Submit my work for bounty #24 -- I built an MCP server, here's the repo: https://github.com/user/repo"

Statistics

"What are the current bounty board stats?" "Show me the top earners leaderboard"

Architecture

src/
  index.ts    -- MCP server setup, tool registration, stdio transport
  tools.ts    -- Tool definitions (schemas + descriptions) and handler implementations

The server uses the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to expose tools via the stdio transport. Each tool has:

• A descriptive name and explanation for agent discovery

• A Zod input schema with per-field descriptions

• An async handler that calls the Bounty Board API and returns formatted results

API Endpoints Used

• GET /bounties -- List all bounties

• GET /stats -- Board statistics

• POST /bounties/:id/claim -- Claim a bounty

• POST /bounties/:id/submit -- Submit work
