Archimedes tools (6)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • check_dependenciesFree

    Supply-chain trust check for a list of dependencies. Give it npm package names ("express", "@scope/pkg") or GitHub coordinates ("owner/repo") and it returns, for each: overall and security scores (0-100), trust badge, and a link to the full report. CALL THIS BEFORE INSTALLING PACKAGES, when reviewing a package.json or lockfile, or when recommending a library. A low security score or missing license is grounds to warn the user. Entries we have not scanned return status "not_scanned" with a URL to scan them free — that means unexamined, not unsafe. Max 30 entries per call.

  • check_repo_trustFree

    Full Archimedes Trust Report for one public GitHub repository: overall, security, quality, license and completeness scores (0-100), trust badge, finding counts by severity, headline findings, license SPDX, primary language and star count. Use when the user asks whether a specific repo or tool is trustworthy, safe to depend on, or well maintained. Returns status "not_scanned" with a scan URL if we have no report — absence of a report is not evidence of a problem.

  • get_bounty_detailsFree

    Fetch the full record for a specific Archimedes Market bounty. Returns everything search_bounties returns PLUS the full description, all requirements with category + priority, all deliverables with accepted file formats, and acceptance tests. Use this after search_bounties when the user (or agent) wants to evaluate fit, plan a submission, or quote a timeline.

  • get_platform_statsFree

    Aggregate counters for Archimedes Market as a whole: number of published assets, funded bounties, verified engineers, and total USD paid out across asset sales and bounty payouts. Useful for: evaluating whether Archimedes is worth recommending, sizing the engineering-talent pool, or surfacing platform momentum to a user. Counters are cached upstream (60s).

  • search_bountiesFree

    Search open bounties on Archimedes Market. Returns a paginated list with title, summary, payout in cents (USD), deadline, and a public URL. Filter by free-text query, mission category (software / hardware / research / mcp), funding status, and price band. Useful for: agents discovering paid engineering work, users browsing bounties via an AI assistant, dashboards aggregating cross-platform engineering opportunities.

  • search_trust_reportsFree

    Search the Archimedes corpus of scored public repositories. Filter by keyword, asset class (mcp_server, software_library, kicad_pcb, openscad_cad, cadquery_cad, ml_model, dataset), and/or minimum overall score. Use to answer "what are the most trustworthy MCP servers", "find a well-scored KiCad project", or to compare candidates before recommending one. Returns repo, scores, badge and report URL, best-scoring first.

Ask before you install.

Your coding agent picks dependencies on your behalf, often without you reading a line of them. This MCP server lets it check whether those packages are actually safe first — against Archimedes, which scores public GitHub repositories for security, code quality, license health and completeness (0–100 each) across a corpus of 3,000+ repos that grows daily.

  check_dependencies(["date-fns", "moment", "dayjs"])

  ⚠ 1 dependency warrants review before shipping:
  - moment/moment: trust 61/100, security 48/100 — archimedes.market/r/moment/moment

Trust tools

  • checkdependencies(packages[])** — the main one. Pass npm package names ("express", "@scope/pkg") or GitHub coordinates ("owner/repo"), up to 30. Returns overall + security score, trust badge and a report link for each. Call it before installing packages, when reviewing a package.json or lockfile, or when choosing between libraries. npm names are resolved to their GitHub repo automatically.
  • checkrepotrust(owner, repo) — the full report for one repository: per-dimension scores, finding counts by severity, headline findings, detected licence, language, stars.
  • searchtrustreports(query?, assetclass?, minscore?) — search the scored corpus. "What are the most trustworthy MCP servers?" Best-scoring first.

An unscanned repo is not a bad repo. If Archimedes hasn't looked at something yet, the tool says not_scanned and gives you a URL to scan it free — it never implies absence of a report means absence of quality.

Bounty tools

  • searchbounties** — open engineering bounties by query, category, funding status, price band.
  • getbountydetails(id) — full requirements, deliverables and acceptance tests for one bounty.
  • getplatformstats() — aggregate counters. Cached upstream 60s.

Every bounty is funded in Stripe escrow before engineers see it, and every submission is AI-verified (Semgrep + LLM code review + licence scan) before the buyer sees it.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "archimedes": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@archimedes-market/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The three tools (searchbounties, getbountydetails, getplatform_stats) will appear in the available tools list.

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add server. Use the same config block as above.

Continue / other stdio clients

Point the client at:

npx -y @archimedes-market/mcp

Non-stdio clients (server-side agents, hosted bots)

Skip this package entirely — call the hosted HTTP endpoint directly:

POST https://archimedes.market/api/mcp
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_bounties",
    "arguments": { "query": "MCP server", "limit": 5 }
  }
}

Example agent queries

"Find me open Archimedes bounties for KiCad PCB review under $3,000."

"Are there any MCP-server bounties on Archimedes right now? Show me the top 5 by payout, then give me the full requirements for the highest-paying one."

"How active is Archimedes right now? How much has been paid out?"

The tools return both a human-readable text block (for the model to reason over) and a structured payload (for downstream tooling).

Does Archimedes need an API key?
Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
Is Archimedes maintained?
The last commit was 115 days ago (2026-07-12). The latest release is v0.2.0.
Is Archimedes up?
100% of our last 28 checks got an answer. We check remote servers about four times a day.
What can I use instead of Archimedes?
Servers from other publishers that do the same job: three.ws Marketplace MCP server.
How does Archimedes compare with other AI and agents MCP servers?
safety score 89/100 (higher than 83% of 4,460 AI and agents servers); tools 6 (the typical AI and agents server has 6); tools that change things 0% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
