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/`.

Security
No known CVEs for Bowire.
Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
