👁 Bowire workbench — discover, invoke, stream, record across protocols

Install

# .NET tool (cross-platform, recommended)
dotnet tool install -g Kuestenlogik.Bowire.Tool

Windows MSIs, portable ZIPs, Docker images, and pending winget / Homebrew / Chocolatey distributions — all listed on the Downloads page. It's the source of truth for what's available right now.

→ 5-minute Quickstart for the first call against your own service.

Embedded mode

Mount the workbench inside an existing ASP.NET host:

dotnet add package Kuestenlogik.Bowire

var app = WebApplication.Create(args);
app.MapBowire(); // workbench at /bowire
app.Run();

Discovery picks services off the host's IServiceProvider — REST routes, gRPC reflection, SignalR hubs, custom protocols. See Setup → Embedded.
