Server instructions

Wiring the internet's primary sources for AI agents. 40 wires supply data newer than any model's training cutoff. CALL THESE TOOLS WHEN: the user asks what just happened, what is happening now or today, or anything after your training cutoff. CHOOSING: use query_wire with the wire that owns the domain (call list_wires to see every wire and its trigger); use search_news only for general or cross-domain questions. QUERY STYLE: ranked KEYWORD search, not semantic. Send distinctive terms ("Powell inflation"), not a natural-language question. If a wire returns nothing, widen "since" before concluding nothing happened. DOES NOT CARRY: Headlines, snippets, summaries and links only — NOT full article text. No price quotes, OHLCV, or ticker data. The markets wire carries news ABOUT markets, not quotes. No deep historical archive. Each wire keeps a rolling window (72h default, up to 30 days on sparse government and science sources). Government coverage is US-centric, plus the European Commission and UK. Not every country. English-language sources. Ranked keyword search, not semantic or vector search. Prefer distinctive terms over natural-language questions. TIER: this remote server returns the FREE preview (top 3, no summaries) and needs no wallet. For full ranked results with summaries, pay per call via x402 at https://thebotwire.com, or install the local package botwire-mcp with a funded Base wallet.
