Common questions

Is The Bot Wire safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.7.1) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

[The Bot Wire](https://thebotwire.com) as MCP tools — 301 real-time data wires for AI agents.

Every model has a knowledge cutoff. Your agent is blind to the present. The Bot Wire reads primary sources directly, not a crawler's index of them: SEC EDGAR filings, the Federal Reserve and ECB, BLS and BEA economic releases, federal court opinions, congressional bills, the White House, DOJ, FDA, CISA advisories, USGS earthquakes, NWS severe weather, arXiv, NASA and federal contract awards, alongside 300 more wires across news, markets, technology, industry trade press and culture.

$0.005–$0.01 per call via x402 micropayments, USDC on Base
No API keys. No signup. No subscription. The wallet is the account
301 wires, 779 source feeds, polled continuously and searched in about a millisecond

Install

claude mcp add botwire -- npx -y botwire-mcp

For paid results the package needs a funded Base wallet. It signs each HTTP 402 and retries for you, so your own code never touches payment logic:

claude mcp add botwire -e BOTWIRE_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... -- npx -y botwire-mcp

Claude Desktop, in claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "botwire": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "botwire-mcp"], "env": { "BOTWIRE_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..." } } } }

Tools

Tool	Cost	What it does
`list_wires`	free	Every wire with the condition that should trigger it, its filters and its price
`botwire_status`	free	Service freshness: item counts, source count, last refresh
`search_news`	paid	Ranked search across 40 curated news sources
`query_wire`	paid	The latest items from one of 301 specialist wires

list_wires is the one to call first. Each wire advertises the question it answers ("ask when the question is about a vulnerability, CVE or security advisory"), so a model can route to the right wire without guessing.

There is no free data tier

The HTTP catalogue is paid. The remote MCP server at https://thebotwire.com/mcp is discovery only: it returns wires, triggers, filters and prices, and no items. Anything that returns data costs $0.005 to $0.01 per call.

Free and open, with no wallet: /health for live counts and last poll time, /sources for every publisher polled, and /wires.json for the machine-readable catalogue.

Direct HTTP, without MCP

# the full routing table: which wire answers which question

curl https://thebotwire.com/llms-full.txt

paid call: any x402 client signs the 402 and retries

curl "https://thebotwire.com/cve/latest?q=openssl&since=7d"

Machine docs at /llms.txt, the OpenAPI 3 spec at /openapi.json, x402 discovery at /.well-known/x402.

What it does not carry

Headlines, snippets, summaries and links only, never full article text. No price quotes or OHLCV. No deep historical archive: each wire keeps a rolling window, 72 hours by default and up to 30 days on sparse government sources. Search is ranked keyword, not semantic, so send distinctive terms rather than a natural-language question.
