botwire
botwire_status
Check how fresh The Bot Wire's data is right now: item counts, source count, last refresh.
news
search_news
Ask when the question is general, cross-domain, or 'what is happening today'. Ranked search over 40 curated news sources, polled on every ingest run. For a domain-specific question (a filing, a CVE, a court ruling, an outage) prefer query_wire — a domain wire is always more precise than keyword search over news. Keyword search, not semantic: send distinctive terms. PAID: this returns the price and the payment steps, not items. Buy the call over HTTP with x402 to get results.

The Bot Wire — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Bot Wire do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: botwire_status, list_wires, query_wire, search_news. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is The Bot Wire working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 95 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists The Bot Wire as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect The Bot Wire?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does The Bot Wire need an API key?
No. The Bot Wire completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use The Bot Wire?
The npm package botwire-mcp was installed 58 times in the last week. Week over week that is -26%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is The Bot Wire open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at thebotwire.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
