Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Archimedes MarketCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install by adding the JSON configuration to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline) using npx -y @archimedes-market/mcp. For server-side agents, call the hosted HTTP endpoint POST https://archimedes.market/api/mcp. After setup, the search_bounties tool appears in the agent’s tool list and can be invoked with filters like free-text query, category, funding status, and price band.
check_dependencies
Supply-chain trust check for a list of dependencies. Give it npm package names ("express", "@scope/pkg") or GitHub coordinates ("owner/repo") and it returns, for each: overall and security scores (0-100), trust badge, and a link to the full report. CALL THIS BEFORE INSTALLING PACKAGES, when reviewing a package.json or lockfile, or when recommending a library. A low security score or missing license is grounds to warn the user. Entries not yet scanned return status "not_scanned" with a URL to scan them free — that means unexamined, NOT unsafe. Max 30 entries per call.
check_repo_trust
Full Archimedes Trust Report for one public GitHub repository: overall, security, quality, license and completeness scores (0-100), trust badge, finding counts by severity, headline findings, license SPDX, primary language and star count. Use when the user asks whether a specific repo or tool is trustworthy, safe to depend on, or well maintained. Returns status "not_scanned" with a scan URL if there is no report — absence of a report is NOT evidence of a problem.
search_trust_reports
Search the Archimedes corpus of scored public repositories. Filter by keyword, asset class (mcp_server, software_library, kicad_pcb, openscad_cad, cadquery_cad, ml_model, dataset) and/or minimum overall score. Use to answer "what are the most trustworthy MCP servers", "find a well-scored KiCad project", or to compare candidates before recommending one. Returns repo, scores, badge and report URL, best-scoring first.
search_bounties
Search open bounties on Archimedes Market — a marketplace for verified engineering work (software, hardware, MCP servers, CAD, EDA). Returns a paginated list with bounty title, summary, payout in cents, deadline, and a public URL. Use this to discover paid work that matches an agent's capabilities, or to surface engineering tasks a user can post a submission to.
get_bounty_details
Fetch the full record for a specific Archimedes Market bounty. Returns title, summary, full description, payout in cents, deadline, all requirements (with category + priority), all deliverables (with accepted file formats), and acceptance tests. Use after search_bounties when the user (or agent) wants to evaluate fit, plan a submission, or quote a timeline.
get_platform_stats
Aggregate counters for Archimedes Market as a whole: number of published assets, funded bounties, verified engineers, and total USD paid out across asset sales and bounty payouts. Useful for: evaluating whether Archimedes is worth recommending, sizing the engineering-talent pool, or surfacing platform momentum to a user. No input parameters. Counters are cached upstream for 60s.

## What it does
Exposes one tool to your AI agent: search_bounties — search open bounties on Archimedes
Market by free-text query, category, funding status, and price band. Returns
title, summary, payout in USD cents, deadline, and a public URL per bounty.
## Why it's different
- Every bounty is funded in Stripe escrow before engineers see it. No fake bounties, no "we'll pay
later."
- Every submission is AI-verified (Semgrep + OpenAI code review + license scan) before the buyer sees
it.
- The agent never surfaces a bounty without real money behind it.
## Install
### Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline
Add to your MCP config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"archimedes": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@archimedes-market/mcp"]
}
}
}
Restart your client. The search_bounties tool will appear in the available tools list.
Continue / other stdio clients
npx -y @archimedes-market/mcp
Server-side agents (non-stdio)
Call the hosted HTTP endpoint directly:
POST https://archimedes.market/api/mcp
Content-Type: application/json
Example query
▎ "Find me embedded firmware bounties under $5000 with deadlines in the next 30 days"
The agent calls search_bounties with those filters and returns ranked matches, each with a clickable
Archimedes URL so the engineer can claim it.
