Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check BidSwarm every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

bid

bid_for_rank

The bid in USD needed to take a given rank right now, and the nearest rung on the ladder.

get_bid_price

What a rank costs right now: the cheapest bid that enters the Board and the bid at the top.

draft

draft_rank

Prepare a rank on the Board and return the payment link that publishes it. Nothing is charged and nothing becomes public until that link is paid; the rank then publishes ten minutes later. Use it only when someone has asked for a rank and knows the price. Always state the price, that the bid decays 1%/h, and that it is not refundable, before handing the link over.

dry

dry_run

Put a row on the Board free for 10 minutes: the real Burn, the rank it would hold, no payment and no card. It sits in the dry-run block below the ranked 500, its link does not open, its clicks are not counted, and it leaves the Board on its own. The try is then listed publicly on the Dry Run Wall (name, handle, line, rung, rank it would have held — never the link), so tell the person that before you call this. Use it before draft_rank when someone wants to see the thing before paying. One dry run per handle per day.

leaderboard

get_leaderboard

The live BidSwarm Board: rank, bidder, current bid in USD, one line, link. Every row is paid advertising, not a quality ranking.

BidSwarm — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BidSwarm do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: bid_for_rank, draft_rank, dry_run, get_bid_price, get_leaderboard. 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 BidSwarm working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1000 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect BidSwarm?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does BidSwarm need an API key?

No. BidSwarm completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is BidSwarm?

It answers our handshake in 1000 ms on average, which is faster than 9% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
