World Monitor

What World Monitor does

World Monitor provides an MCP interface to a live global intelligence service. The published endpoint is https://worldmonitor.app/mcp, allowing an MCP-compatible client to access the service without running the web dashboard locally.

The server is intended for monitoring changing conditions across several domains. Its 39 tools cover real-time markets, conflicts, country risk, chokepoints, and energy. These areas align with the wider World Monitor platform, which also includes curated global and regional news, AI-synthesized briefs, finance data, military and infrastructure signals, climate information, cyber activity, and prediction-market data.

Country-risk monitoring includes the Country Instability Index, with live scores, risk bands, and approximate 24-hour movement for 31 Tier-1 countries. The platform also correlates military, economic, disaster, and escalation signals to help place individual updates in a broader context.

How it works

World Monitor is built around continuously updated information rather than a fixed knowledge base. An AI client sends requests through the MCP endpoint, and the server exposes monitoring functions for the supported intelligence categories. Results can be used by an agent to answer questions, compare current signals, or assemble a situational brief.

The same project offers several other ways to view or consume the data: a web application, specialized technology, finance, commodity, happy, and energy variants, a Tauri desktop application, a terminal dashboard, a command-line client, and SDKs for Python, Ruby, and Go. Those surfaces are separate from the MCP interface but are built from the same project and data-oriented feature set.

The terminal dashboard illustrates the breadth of the live data surface, including a world map, news, markets, conflict reporting, military flights, cyber activity, climate, prediction markets, and live television. The repository also supports local AI through Ollama for the broader application, without requiring an AI API key.

Setup and configuration

Use the hosted MCP URL as the server address in an MCP-compatible client:

https://worldmonitor.app/mcp

The repository also documents local project setup for the wider application. A checkout requires Node.js 24, the version pinned by the project, followed by dependency installation and the development command:

git clone https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor.git
cd worldmonitor
npm install
npm run dev

The local web application starts on port 3000 by default. DEV_PORT in .env.local can override that port. This local workflow runs the application rather than configuring the hosted MCP endpoint.
