Documentation Overview
Algora MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents direct access to Algora's open-source bounty platform. Use it from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client to discover, search, and analyze open bounties.
What It Does
AI agents can call five tools:
| Tool | What It Does |
|---|---|
list_bounties | Browse open bounties with filters (org, amount, tech) |
get_org_bounties | Get all bounties for a specific org (cal.com, supabase, etc.) |
search_bounties | Keyword search across titles, descriptions, repos |
get_top_bounties | Highest-value open bounties, sorted by reward |
get_bounty_stats | Aggregate stats: total value, by tech, by org |
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- No API key required — Algora's public API is open
Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/idapixl/algora-mcp-server
cd algora-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
Claude Desktop Config
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"algora": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/algora-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Cursor / Windsurf Config
Add to your MCP settings:
{
"algora": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/algora-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
}
}
Example Agent Interactions
Find high-value TypeScript bounties:
"Show me open bounties worth $200+ in TypeScript"
The agent will call get_top_bounties({ tech: "typescript", min_amount: 200 }) and return formatted results.
Check a specific org:
"What bounties does projectdiscovery have open?"
Calls get_org_bounties({ org: "projectdiscovery" }).
Search by domain:
"Find bounties related to MCP or model context protocol"
Calls search_bounties({ keyword: "MCP" }).
Market overview:
"What's the total value of all open bounties on Algora?"
Calls get_bounty_stats({}) and returns counts, total, average, breakdown by tech and org.

Architecture
The server uses stdio transport (standard MCP convention) — no HTTP server, no port, no configuration. It communicates with the MCP client through stdin/stdout and connects to Algora's public API (no auth required).
The @algora/sdk tRPC client handles API calls. Local filtering is applied in-memory for features the API doesn't natively support (keyword search, min/max amount).
