World Sense tools 10

  • arcane_overviewCurrent ARCANE overview: Combined Threat Score, per-domain risk rows, cascade state, and cross-domain gauges as observed now. ARCANE NOTICES the present; it does not predict or advise. Check as_of/stale before treating as current.
  • arcane_deltasWhat changed since yesterday across ARCANE's domains and primary-source senses (observed diffs only). Grounding-sense items fire once at onset then go quiet, so absence of an item is not calm. Check as_of/stale.
  • arcane_domainDrill-down for one domain: observed risk/momentum series, current-state regime posterior, and news-coverage theme cards (coverage unusualness, not truth or importance). ARCANE NOTICES the present; it does not predict. Check as_of/stale.
  • arcane_bilateralObserved bilateral signal-intensity across seven tracked country pairs (volume and tone indices, plus an observed escalation stage). An index of observed intensity between the pair, not a prediction of what happens next. Check as_of/stale.
  • arcane_data_streamsLatest observations from ARCANE's primary-source physical senses (energy stocks, fires, sanctions, GPS interference, outages, and more) with provider, cadence, and attribution. Observed levels only; some senses go silent when their baseline saturates. Check as_of/stale.
  • arcane_score_treeHow the Combined Threat Score is composed: per-domain roll-ups, applied premiums, and the design weights behind them, each carrying a live/config provenance tag. Weights are design configuration, not fitted parameters. Check as_of/stale.
  • arcane_trigger_chainsObserved multi-stage trigger-chain state for five domains (stage activation, z-scores, and chain health). Descriptive state only, not a forecast; the chains were repaired 2026-07-02 and not yet exercised live. Check as_of/stale.
  • arcane_trackerARCANE's live scenario tracker: for each pre-registered scenario, where the world is on its branching map — checkpoint COMPLETION as N/M (confirming signals fired of total), a direction of resemblance, staleness, and which fork checkpoints have fired or are pending. A live STATE view, NOT a forecast: completion is not a probability and direction is resemblance, not odds. ARCANE never states a scenario's likelihood. Check as_of/stale.
  • arcane_system_statusFreshness of every public ARCANE key: push time, source as_of, and stale flag. Call this before treating any reading as current.
  • arcane_capabilitiesWhat ARCANE's public World-Sense serves and what it explicitly does NOT serve, plus per-stream validation notes. ARCANE NOTICES present-state geopolitical risk from primary-source senses; it does not forecast, advise, or trade.

Frequently asked questions

Claude Flow is categorized under Coding Agents and uses an install path we have not confirmed yet. World Sense belongs to Developer Tools and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. Pick Claude Flow for coding agents work and World Sense for developer tools.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client. Claude Flow has no confirmed install command yet — follow its own setup instructions.

Claude Flow has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Auth: no auth required. World Sense has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.

Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add claude-flow and world-sense as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
