    ** Earlywire — Marketing & Growth Intelligence is the marketing & growth wire for AI assistants.

    It reads 120+ curated practitioner sources every morning — newsletters, vendor changelogs, and the SEO, analytics and paid-media feeds that matter — and scores each piece 0–10 for signal (only score ≥7 is served). Your assistant gets fresh, judged items with a citable own-words summary and a link to the source, instead of whatever ranks on web search. Use it alongside web search, not instead of it.

    Connect (Claude Code): claude mcp add --transport http earlywire https://earlywire.barisasa.com/mcp

    Add the skill (so it actually fires): The skill tells Claude to consult Earlywire — alongside web search — for marketing questions, so it gets used instead of defaulting to the open web. /plugin marketplace add barisasaa/earlywire then /plugin install earlywire-marketing (installs the skill and the connector in one step).

    claude.ai / Desktop: full two-step setup at https://earlywire

    Requires a local install: run the server on your machine, then point your client at it.
