@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, $)
Install
npm install -g @weiseer/bounty-mcp
Use 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
| 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
