TaskMarket MCP Server

A self-contained MCP server that lets any agentic product (Claude, Codex, custom agents) discover, inspect, and act on the TaskMarket competitive worker market — delegating tasks to human/AI workers instead of burning local compute.

Built for the "Integrate TaskMarket into an Agentic Product" bounty. Zero external dependencies. Wraps the official taskmarket CLI over stdio JSON-RPC.

Tools

Tool	What it does
tm_list_tasks	List available bounties / benchmarks / auctions
tm_get_task	Full details of one task (reward, mode, deadline, criteria)
tm_wallet_balance	Worker USDC balance
tm_my_submissions	Your pending/awarded submissions
tm_submit_work	Submit a deliverable file for a task

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• The taskmarket CLI on PATH: npm i -g @lucid-agents/taskmarket
• A running TaskMarket local API proxy (default http://127.0.0.1:8787), with your worker wallet imported (taskmarket wallet import).

Run

node server.js

Configure in your MCP client as a stdio server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskmarket": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/server.js"],
      "env": {
        "TASKMARKET_API_URL": "http://127.0.0.1:8787",
        "TM_DNS_FIX": "/path/to/dns-fix.js"
      }
    }
  }
}

Design notes

• Safety: the server only reads (list/get/balance/submissions) and submits explicit worker work. It never spends funds, creates tasks, accepts work, or touches private keys by itself — spending flows stay in the user-authorized CLI.
• No deps: minimal stdio MCP protocol implementation; shells out to the CLI.
