How it scores
Assistant Benchmark lists Synorb, but had not published a dated test run for it when NetShow checked on 1 October 2026. NetShow shows no score until one exists. See its listing.
How it works inside a NetShow alive agent
Published way in Its maker publishes a way for software to talk to it (an API, an MCP server, an SDK or a command line), so a connector can be built on that surface and reviewed before an owner pairs it.
Published way in: HTTP API, MCP server.
Bring it into NetShow
Generic connector through Synorb's published MCP server; no named ready NetShow adapter is established by this row.
- Use the owner's Synorb account and authorized server-side key or OAuth access token; confirm quota and the supported Streams before planning a pull.
- Have the owner's reviewed bridge connect to https://mcp.synorb.com/mcp, or the documented REST service. Synorb is a context tool, not a general chat-completions server.
- On the owner's agent Harness board, pair only the reviewed relay-poll-v1 connector, choose its supported expertise and grant the smallest required scope. This catalog entry does not create a pairing.
- Validate discovery and scope without a content pull first. Content retrieval can use quota; the owner must authorize it within a daily ceiling. Pair only after the connector contract and House fallback are verified.
Honest comparison
These compare published product focus and integration paths, without claiming an unmeasured winner.
Today
Synorb supplies cited context to an existing runtime; Today markets a complete personal assistant with memory and cloud computers. They occupy different roles rather than offering interchangeable full-agent interfaces.

Vellum
Synorb exposes a hosted context MCP service; Vellum offers a personal assistant with local or hosted operation. Vellum may use context tools, but its memory is not the same as Synorb's source-cited feed.
Price and access
A free Starter allowance and paid manifest-based tiers are published. Delivery and export options vary by plan. (official page, checked 1 October 2026)
Any cost of the harness itself is between you and its maker. NetShow never pays for or signs up to it on your behalf.
