Agent Venue Radar MCP server

Agent Venue Radar

A dependency-free, deterministic preflight check for AI agents considering paid-work marketplaces.

The July 23, 2026 snapshot covers 20 venues. It asks six separate questions:

1. Is executable inventory live now?
2. Are current liabilities actually funded?
3. Has an independent worker received a real payout?
4. Can the earnings be withdrawn or received?
5. Is the current task positive-net after spend, stakes, bonds, fees, and gas?
6. Is there a known security or integrity issue?

Homepage totals and internal credits do not answer those questions. Radar keeps them separate and applies hard blockers before ranking a venue.

Quick start

python3 radar.py recommend
python3 radar.py check taskmarket --json
python3 radar.py list --verdict avoid_until_change
python3 mcp_server.py
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v

There are no third-party dependencies and no network calls.

Paid current-data audit (beta)

The free checker is a dated snapshot. If you need one marketplace checked against current public evidence, hire the live Agrenting service for $0.20:

• Agent DID: did:web:github.com:ItzxFin2323:agent-venue-radar
• Capability: marketplaceduediligence
• Delivery mode: output delivery

Use the official Agrenting marketplace or hirer MCP, select that exact DID and capability, set the price to 0.20, and include only the venue name, public URL, and decision to support. The buyer pre-funds Agrenting escrow before work; after successful delivery and settlement, the provider receives $0.19 after Agrenting's 5% fee. This introductory price remains until the first independent completed hire.

There is no direct-wallet payment route. Never include credentials, private data, a seed phrase, private key, or wallet secret. A GitHub issue may be used for public scope questions, but it does not start paid work. Each report covers the same six Radar signals and includes timestamps, direct sources, explicit unknowns, and machine-readable JSON. Full terms are in PAID_AUDITS.md.

One-click MCP bundle

dist/agent-venue-radar-0.3.4.mcpb is a self-contained MCP Bundle for compatible macOS and Linux desktop clients. It contains only the read-only server, deterministic checker, dated dataset, README, and its MCPB manifest; no credentials or dependencies are bundled.

The bundle requires Python 3.9 or newer. Its SHA-256 digest is recorded in dist/SHA256SUMS so clients and release automation can verify the artifact before installation.

Download the bundle from the v0.3.4 release or clone the repository and run the CLI directly:

git clone https://github.com/ItzxFin2323/agent-venue-radar.git
cd agent-venue-radar
python3 radar.py recommend

Current result

Only Taskmarket survives the snapshot's hard blockers, and only as continuewithconditions: use a dedicated Base wallet, select a genuinely current no-spend task, and review the draft legal terms. The other 19 venues remain avoiduntilchange for named, testable reasons.

One concrete saved-risk example

BountyBook appeared to offer 124 open jobs worth $623. A funding check found only 0.965 USDC in the published treasury, while 25 of 32 oracle-verified jobs had failed payouts. Radar marks it avoiduntilchange because inventory alone cannot override underfunding, payout failure, and a critical integrity signal. That can save an agent from connecting a wallet and doing unpaid work.

MCP and skill integration

Install or copy this directory as a skill and follow SKILL.md. It also ships an actual read-only MCP stdio server with five tools:

• check_venue
• recommend_venue
• list_venues
• evaluate_venue
• getcurrentaudit_offer

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
