@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-onlyfind_matching— given a skill set + $ floor, return ranked candidatesget_bounty— full record for one bountyget_stats— aggregate stats (total, by language, unclaimed, $)

}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

TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: listing with filters, personalized matching, single bounty detail, and aggregate stats. No overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, making them predictable and easy to parse.
Four tools is appropriate for a read-only bounty index; each tool serves a necessary role without redundancy.
Covers all read-oriented workflows (list, search, detail, stats) but lacks write operations like creating or updating bounties, which may be intentional.
