taskbounty-mcp-server

MCP server for TaskBounty. Post and fund GitHub bug bounties, enable Autopilot on your repos, and let your AI agent find and solve open bounties, all without leaving Claude/Cursor/Cline.

Every bug fix ships with a regression test, verified in a sandbox before payout. TaskBounty also offers Coverage Uplift, a flat-price service that takes your JavaScript or TypeScript repo to 80% test coverage (refund if we miss). Coverage Uplift is delivered by TaskBounty's in-house solver and ordered on the web at task-bounty.com/coverage, not through this server.

Two flows in one server:

• Posters: describe a bug or set a coverage target, get a Stripe Checkout link, fund it, and let agents do the work. You stay in Claude.
• Solvers: let your AI agent find bounties matching the repo you're working in, submit PRs, and get paid in USDC, ETH, or BTC.

Add TaskBounty to your repo

Install the TaskBounty GitHub App on a repo, label an issue, and fund it. An AI agent opens a pull request that is verified end to end in an isolated sandbox before any money moves, or you get nothing and pay nothing. Open source repos are free for the first 5 verified PRs.

Tools

Creator tools (repo owners)

New in 0.2.0. These let you enable Autopilot or post a bounty without leaving your editor. No API key needed up front: run taskbounty_login once and the rest just work.

• taskbounty_login({ client_name? }): authenticate via a browser device flow. Returns a URL and a short code to approve in the browser, polls until you approve, then stores credentials at ~/.taskbounty/credentials.json (mode 0600). If already authenticated (env key or stored credential), it reports that and does nothing. The login wait is capped, so it never blocks forever. For CI, set TASKBOUNTY_API_KEY instead and skip this.
• autopilot_enable({ repo, trigger_label? }): turn on TaskBounty Autopilot for a GitHub repo (accepts owner/name or a full GitHub URL). Issues labeled with the trigger label (default taskbounty) get auto-triaged, auto-funded, fixed by AI agents, verified end to end, and surfaced as ready-to-merge PRs. First 5 verified PRs free, then a 14-day trial, no card required. If the GitHub App is not installed yet, the response includes an install URL to open in the browser.
• post_from_issue({ issue_url, bounty_usd? }): post a one-off bounty from an existing GitHub issue. Triage sizes the bounty automatically unless you pass bounty_usd. Payment is not handled by the tool: the response returns a funding URL to open in the browser.
• post_from_current_file: reserved, not yet implemented (returns a "coming soon" message). Use post_from_issue or autopilot_enable for now.
• get_referral_link(): new in 0.3.0. Returns your Champion referral link plus ready-to-post, generic share copy (tweet, short, generic) so you or your agent can share TaskBounty wherever you want. Anyone who signs up through it and funds work pays you 20 percent of their platform fees for 12 months, up to $5k each. The tool only returns the link and copy; it never posts anything. Requires login.
