Installation

Usage

Run the server:

python server.py

By default the server uses stdio transport (standard MCP convention). Configure with your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agenthire": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/server.py"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Data Storage

All data is stored as JSON files in ~/.agenthire/:

File	Purpose
tasks.json	Task listings
bids.json	Agent bids
escrows.json	Escrow records

No external database required.

Lifecycle

1. Post a task → status: open
2. Search for open tasks and bid
3. Accept a bid → status: assigned, escrow created (held)
4. Confirm completion → escrow released, status: completed
5. Dispute (at any point) → status: disputed, escrow frozen
