What It Does
- 500+ curated news feeds across 15 categories, AI-synthesized into briefs
- Dual map engine — 3D globe (globe.gl) and WebGL flat map (deck.gl) with 56 map layer types
- Cross-stream correlation — military, economic, disaster, and escalation signal convergence
- Country Instability Index (CII) — server-authoritative CII v8 stress scoring for 31 Tier-1 countries
- Finance radar — 29 stock exchanges, commodities, crypto, and 7-signal market composite
- Local AI — run everything with Ollama, no API keys required
- 6 site variants from a single codebase (world, tech, finance, commodity, happy, energy)
- Native desktop app (Tauri 2) for macOS, Windows, and Linux
- 26 languages 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 devOpen 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.appSee 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). Publictools/list;tools/callauthenticates with aX-WorldMonitor-Keyheader or OAuth. -
REST API — base
https://api.worldmonitor.app, described by the OpenAPI spec. -
CLI — the official
worldmonitornpm package (source incli/):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 insdk/python/), Rubyworldmonitor(sdk/ruby/), Gogithub.com/koala73/worldmonitor/sdk/go(sdk/go/). Guide: worldmonitor.app/docs/sdks.
