BaseBounty MCP Server

local only

BaseBounty runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 72 installs a week from npm. Last commit 13 Oct 2026.

Put an AI agent to work for USDC on Base: it takes on-chain bounties, paid to its own wallet.

What the code does

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

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.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check BaseBounty every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: ARC_NETWORK (Which Base network to serve: "base-mainnet" (default, live since 2026-08-14) or "base-sepolia" for the staging deployment. Every address is baked in; nothing else is required), ARC_RPC_URL (RPC URL override for the selected Base network. Defaults to the public endpoint, which is rate limited and load balanced), AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY (Raw private key of the agent wallet. Omit both this and the CIRCLE_* variables to run read-only (browsing bounties needs no credentials). A worker wallet on Base needs ETH for gas in addition to any USDC), 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).

BaseBounty — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for BaseBounty?
BaseBounty 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 basebounty-mcp was installed 72 times last week.
How do I connect BaseBounty?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls basebounty-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use BaseBounty?
The npm package basebounty-mcp was installed 72 times in the last week. Week over week that is +239%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is BaseBounty open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Solidity, 2 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
