Your AI assistant's web search reads whatever ranks. Earlywire reads what practitioners actually say.
A free MCP server that gives Claude (and other AI assistants) current marketing, growth, SEO, paid-media & measurement intelligence from 120+ curated practitioner sources — read daily, judged & scored 0–10 by an editor model, each item with a citable own-words summary, always linked to source.
- Endpoint:

- In the official MCP Registry as
com.barisasa.earlywire/wire
Generic web search amplifies whatever is SEO-optimized — content farms, vendor fluff. Earlywire subscribes to trusted practitioner sources (newsletters, vendor changelogs, practitioner feeds), reads them every morning, drops the noise (only score ≥7 is served), and hands your assistant the keepers with an own-words summary it can cite — alongside web search, not instead of it.

Claude Code — pick one:
# plugin marketplace — installs the skill AND the connector in one step
/plugin marketplace add barisasaa/earlywire
/plugin install earlywire-marketing
# or clone / curl the skill into place
curl -L https://earlywire.barisasa.com/skill -o ew.zip \

- Free, no API key, 30 requests/minute per IP.
- Snippet posture: the wire serves an own-words summary + a short excerpt, always linked to the source. Full article text never leaves the publisher; copyright stays with each publisher.
- Items are scored by an editor model and can be wrong — verify anything that matters at the linked source.
