@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, $)

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

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a distinct purpose: listing with filters, personalized matching, single bounty detail, and aggregate stats. No overlap in functionality.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, making them predictable and easy to parse.

    Tool Count5/5

    Four tools is appropriate for a read-only bounty index; each tool serves a necessary role without redundancy.

    Completeness4/5

    Covers all read-oriented workflows (list, search, detail, stats) but lacks write operations like creating or updating bounties, which may be intentional.
