Bounty Radar

MCP server for the live Bounty Radar feed; query ZK + AI bounties across 11 ecosystems from inside Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, LibreChat, or any MCP client.

Why use this MCP server

Free for everyone. The same bounty feed available at battam1111.github.io/bounty-radar-data/ (but accessible from inside your IDE without leaving Claude / Cursor / Windsurf). You can ask "show me ZK bounties matching Noir > $500" without context-switching.

When you'd want to upgrade beyond this free MCP:

• You want push, not poll. This MCP returns data on request. $19/mo Hobbyist pushes new bounties to your Telegram the moment they appear.
• You want webhook delivery. $97/mo Pro signs each new-match event with HMAC-SHA256 and POSTs to your URL.
• You're a team. $497/mo Team adds shared Slack/Discord delivery + custom detector requests + 5 seats.

Why

There are 11+ ZK / AI bounty platforms (Algora, Drips Wave, Code4rena, Cantina, Sherlock, Immunefi, Bountycaster, plus per-ecosystem GitHub label-search). Manually monitoring them is slow. We aggregate them 24/7 and expose the firehose as MCP tools so an LLM can search, filter, and summarize directly from your editor.

"What's the latest from Midnight Network bounty board?"

"Get the full details for bounty gh-midnightntwrk-contributor-hub-312."

Free tier vs paid tier

Free: top 200 open bounties, refreshed every 30 min.

For:

• Real-time alerts (Telegram bot or webhook delivery, sub-30-second latency)
• Private API with full eval scoring + competitor heat-map
• Merge-probability scoring per bounty
• White-label & team seats

→ Subscribe at $19 / $97 / $497 monthly tiers

The free MCP server is more than enough for casual bounty hunting; the paid tiers are for full-time hunters, audit firms, and dev shops.

Architecture

• Pure stdio MCP, no DB, no auth
• Caches feed locally for 60 seconds to avoid hammering the public endpoint
• Public feed: https://battam1111.github.io/bounty-radar-data/feed.json
• Updated every 30 minutes by a 24/7 scanner that aggregates 5 sources + 11 ecosystems

Sibling projects

• Midnight ZK Cookbook; 11 tutorials across Midnight, Aleo, Noir
• zk-pipeline-doctor; OSS CLI that diagnoses ZK circuit projects
