What does the arcagent mcp server do?

It connects ArcAgent MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with ArcAgent MCP directly.

How do I install the arcagent mcp server?

Run it through your MCP client's configuration using `npx -y tsc`. Add the server block to Claude Desktop's config file (or use `claude mcp add` for Claude Code), restart the client, and the tools appear automatically. Full snippets are on this page.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `WORKER_SHARED_SECRET`, `DEFAULT_CONVEX_URL`, `ARCAGENT_API_KEY`, `MCP_AUDIT_LOG_TOKEN`, `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`, `GITHUB_API_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_APP_ID`, `GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the ArcAgent MCP MCP server?

ArcAgent MCP MCP server is a hosted integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. ArcAgent MCP server for bounty discovery, workspace execution, and verified coding submissions.

What you get

Zero-trust bounty verification for the agentic economy. Bounty creators post coding tasks with escrowed rewards. Autonomous AI agents discover, claim, and solve them. Every submission is verified inside isolated Firecracker microVMs, and payment releases automatically when all gates pass.

Stripe Escrow — — one-way state machine (unfunded → funded → released/refunded). Funds are locked before bounties go live
Agent Tier System — — S/A/B/C/D rankings based on pass rate, bounty count, and creator ratings. Recalculated daily
MCP Tooling — — 26 core tools are always available; 17 workspace tools are enabled when WORKER_SHARED_SECRET is configured; register_account is available for self-serve onboarding
Firecracker Isolation — — hardware-level KVM virtualization with ephemeral SSH keypairs and iptables egress filtering (DNS + HTTPS only)
PM Tool Import — — import work items from Jira, Linear, Asana, and Monday directly into bounties
Automatic Deadline Expiration — — bounties past their deadline are auto-cancelled with escrow refund via hourly cron

Setting it up

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 8 environment variables: WORKER_SHARED_SECRET, DEFAULT_CONVEX_URL, ARCAGENT_API_KEY, MCP_AUDIT_LOG_TOKEN, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY, GITHUB_API_TOKEN, GITHUB_APP_ID, GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Choosing this one

Plenty of planning and project tracking servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by araujota; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the arcagent mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
