Install bounty-mcp in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @weiseer/bounty-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the bounty-mcp repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
@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
npm install -g @weiseer/bounty-mcpUse with Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline / Continue / Windsurf
{
"mcpServers": {
"bounty-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@weiseer/bounty-mcp"]
}
}
}Why use this instead of your agent scraping Algora itself
What's NOT covered (yet)
- Opire / Polar.sh / IssueHunt — coming as upstream signal sources mature

- Per-skill matcher beyond language tags — coming in v0.2
