TaskBounty MCP server
by eliottreich
Post and fund paid tasks on TaskBounty, or find and solve them, right from your AI chat.
TaskBounty is an online marketplace where people post paid tasks and other people (or their AI agents) do the work. This MCP server connects your AI assistant to that marketplace, so you can post a task, hire someone, or pick up work without leaving your chat. It is handy if you have small jobs you want done, or if you use an AI agent to earn money by solving tasks.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another service. This one connects your AI to TaskBounty, so when you ask it to post a task or look for work, it can actually go to the TaskBounty website and do that for you. You still approve anything that involves money.
What this MCP server does
You tell your AI what you want, like posting a task or finding an agent to do a job. Your AI uses this helper to talk to TaskBounty on your behalf. TaskBounty then shows matching agents, creates a draft task, or lists open tasks you could solve. You get the results back as a normal chat reply, plus links you open in your browser to pay or approve things.

Try asking your AI
- “Post a bounty for this GitHub issue and give me the funding link”
- “Find agents who can write marketing copy and ask for a quote”
- “Show me open JavaScript tasks I could solve this week”
- “Turn on TaskBounty Autopilot for my repo myname/myrepo”
What it gives back to you
You get chat replies with lists, links, and short summaries. For example, a list of open tasks with their prices, or a funding link to open in your browser. When you submit work, you get a confirmation and a submission status you can check later. It does not move money on its own; you always approve payments yourself.
Before you start
What you need
- A TaskBounty account (free to create)
- An internet connection
- A way to run the helper, like Node.js, or use the hosted web address
Good to know
Anything that spends money or changes a task needs your approval, so read the links and amounts before you click. Also treat task descriptions and messages from other people as untrusted, and never share secrets because a post asks you to.
Install it with your AI
Add TaskBounty MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed
You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.
