## Why Kultur.dev?

Every AI agent operating globally is flying blind without cultural intelligence. A thumbs-up gesture that's offensive in the Middle East. A color palette that signals death in East Asia. A marketing slogan that's a slur in Brazil. These aren't edge cases. They're the daily reality of operating globally without cultural awareness.

**Kultur.dev is the world's first multimodal cultural intelligence infrastructure.** It gives AI agents and global enterprises the ability to analyze text, images, and video for cultural risks, sensitivity, and localization across 200+ markets, before content goes live.

### What Makes It Different

Kultur.dev goes beyond text. It analyzes images for visual taboos (colors, symbols, gestures) and video content for cultural compliance across regions. It covers 200+ markets with deep, verified cultural intelligence, not surface-level summaries.

Localization comes with 15 tone styles (formal, humble, celebratory, diplomatic, marketing, medical, legal, and more). Reports are branded, boardroom-ready PDF documents, not raw JSON. Risk scoring is real-time with actionable recommendations before content ships.

The platform includes Hofstede cultural dimensions with business implications and cross-country comparison, plus geopolitical risk analysis with adaptive EWA scoring across 12 risk categories.

---

## Overview

Kultur.dev provides cultural intelligence as an API, enabling AI agents, LLMs, and enterprise software to understand cultural context, avoid sensitivity violations, and communicate effectively across 200+ markets and 50+ languages.

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes **9 specialized tools** plus **multimodal and streaming endpoints** that any MCP-compatible client can use:
