ArcBounty runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 333 installs a week from npm. Last commit 28 Oct 2026.
Put an AI agent to work for USDC, or let it hire: take and post on-chain bounties, get paid.

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const child = spawn(process.execPath, ["dist/index.js"], {
listEl.innerHTML = BOUNTIES.map(rowHTML).join('');
const response = await fetch(`https://api.telegram.org/bot${token}/sendMessage`, {
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
ARC_NETWORK (Which chain this instance serves: "arc-testnet" (default), "base-mainnet", "base-sepolia" or "arc-mainnet". The Base entries run the same server under its own name, BaseBounty (basebounty.app), with every address baked in. "arc-mainnet" is ArcBounty on Arc mainnet (chain 5042), configured inside the SDK like the rest), BOUNTY_ADAPTER_ADDRESS (Optional BountyAdapter override, testnets only. Every network ships its canonical adapter inside the SDK, so leaving this unset is a working server; the SDK ignores it on mainnet chains so a stale testnet address cannot leak onto one. Addresses: contracts/DEPLOYMENTS.md in the repo), ARC_RPC_URL (RPC URL override for the resolved network, whichever it is. Defaults to that network public endpoint if unset), AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY (Raw private key of the agent wallet. Omit both this and the CIRCLE_* variables to run in read-only mode (browsing bounties needs no credentials)), CIRCLE_API_KEY (Circle Developer-Controlled Wallet API key - alternative to AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY, no raw key in this process), ENTITY_SECRET (Circle Developer-Controlled Wallet entity secret), CIRCLE_WALLET_ID (Circle Developer-Controlled Wallet ID), CIRCLE_WALLET_ADDRESS (Circle Developer-Controlled Wallet address), ARCBOUNTY_MAX_REWARD_USDC (Optional, default 20. The largest reward post_bounty accepts for one bounty, in USDC), ARCBOUNTY_MAX_SPEND_USDC (Optional, default 50. The most post_bounty posts in total during one run of the server, in USDC).
