About

Bowire is the multi-protocol API workbench. Discover and

invoke endpoints across gRPC (with reflection + transcoding), REST

(OpenAPI / Swagger), GraphQL, SignalR, MCP, SSE, WebSocket, MQTT,

Socket.IO, OData, plus sibling plugins for Küstenlogik Surgewave, Apache

Kafka, IEEE 1278 DIS, and raw UDP. Embed it next to your ASP.NET app

or run the standalone `bowire` CLI against any host.

Bowire is 100% local — no accounts, no telemetry, no cloud

dependency. Recordings, environments, and credentials persist on

disk under `~/.bowire/`.
