World Monitor

简体中文 | 日本語

Real-time global intelligence dashboard — AI-powered news aggregation, geopolitical monitoring, and infrastructure tracking in a unified situational awareness interface.

---

What It Does

• Curated news feeds across global and regional categories, AI-synthesized into briefs
• Dual map engine — 3D globe (globe.gl) and WebGL flat map (deck.gl) with a shared map-layer catalog
• Panel inventory — concrete panel implementations across specialized variants
• Cross-stream correlation — military, economic, disaster, and escalation signal convergence
• Country Instability Index (CII) — live CII v8 scores, bands, and approximate 24-hour movement for 31 Tier-1 countries
• Finance radar — stock exchanges, commodities, crypto, and a market composite
• Local AI — run everything with Ollama, no API keys required
• Site variants from a single codebase (world, tech, finance, commodity, happy, energy)
• Native desktop app (Tauri 2) for macOS, Windows, and Linux
• Multilingual UI with native-language feeds and RTL support

For the full feature list, architecture, data sources, and algorithms, see the documentation.

Support Status

All site variants and desktop binaries are built from a single codebase and ship from the same release process. The table below clarifies maintenance status so you know which surfaces are safe to depend on.

| Surface | Status | Notes | |---------|--------|-------| | worldmonitor.app, tech., finance., commodity., happy., energy. | Stable | Public deployments built from this repo, actively maintained | | Desktop binaries (Windows / macOS Apple Silicon / macOS Intel / Linux AppImage) | Stable | One Tauri binary for every variant — install World Monitor and switch to tech, finance, commodity, energy, or happy in-app. There is deliberately no per-variant download |

Issues filed against any of the above are triaged from the same backlog — see the issues board for currently-open work.

Quick Start

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

Open localhost:3000 (override the port with DEV_PORT in .env.local). The app runs with no environment variables.

Feature-specific data sources may require credentials. See .env.example for the full list.

For variant-specific development:

npm run dev:tech       # tech.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:finance    # finance.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:commodity  # commodity.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:happy      # happy.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:energy     # energy.worldmonitor.app

See the self-hosting guide for deployment options (Vercel, Docker, static).

Programmatic Access

World Monitor is built for agents and scripts as well as browsers:

• MCP server — https://worldmonitor.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Public tools/list; tools/call authenticates with a X-WorldMonitor-Key header or OAuth. The server also publishes its Agent Skills through the draft io.modelcontextprotocol/skills extension (skills/list, skills/get, and skill://… resource reads).

• REST API — base https://api.worldmonitor.app, described by the OpenAPI spec.

• CLI — the official worldmonitor npm package (source in cli/):

  npx worldmonitor tools          # run ad-hoc — list every MCP tool (no key needed)
  npm install -g worldmonitor     # or install the `worldmonitor` (alias `wm`) command
  worldmonitor risk IR --api-key wm_xxx
  

• SDKs — official zero-dependency client libraries mirroring the CLI: Python worldmonitor-sdk (source in sdk/python/), Ruby worldmonitor (sdk/ruby/), Go github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/sdk/go (sdk/go/). Guide: worldmonitor.app/docs/sdks.

Agent discovery files: llms.txt · agent-skills manifest · api-catalog. Get an API key at worldmonitor.app/pro.
