Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant query live GitHub coding bounties with verified escrow, filtered by language, dollar floor, and bug-fix status.

What you can do
A local stdio MCP server that exposes a pool of paid GitHub coding bounties sourced from escrow signals. Tools include list_bounties (filter by language, dollar floor, bug-fix-only), find_matching (rank candidates from a skill set and dollar floor), get_bounty (full record for one bounty), and get_stats (totals by language, unclaimed, dollars). Records carry fields such as repo, issue number, dollars, language, attempts, open-PR status, and trust.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant is helping find paid open-source coding work and you want a pre-filtered, low-latency bounty list instead of having the agent scrape and deduplicate sources itself. Best for agents that match skills to bounty listings.
Requirements
Runs locally via npm (@weiseer/bounty-mcp), typically launched with npx from a desktop MCP client. Network access is needed for the default remote snapshot; BOUNTY_MCP_URL can override the snapshot URL and BOUNTY_MCP_LOCAL_ONLY=1 skips remote fetching. No authentication is declared.
Before you install
By default the server fetches a bounty snapshot from a third-party remote URL, so query activity and your IP reach that host; set BOUNTY_MCP_LOCAL_ONLY=1 to use only the bundled snapshot. Bounty data is third-party and may be stale or inaccurate, and the README notes scam-farm filtering is heuristic. The server is read-only for bounty data; it does not claim or pay out bounties.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open bounty-mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

@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

bash
npm install -g @weiseer/bounty-mcp

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

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
