What the code does

Capabilities

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('');

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

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.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: 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.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

ArcBounty — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for ArcBounty?
ArcBounty runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package arcbounty-mcp was installed 294 times last week.
How do I connect ArcBounty?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls arcbounty-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use ArcBounty?
The npm package arcbounty-mcp was installed 294 times in the last week. Week over week that is -84%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is ArcBounty open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Solidity and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
