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

#Ways to Use It

The terminal dashboard runs the same live data in your shell: world map, news, markets, conflict, military flights, cyber, climate, prediction markets and live TV, with mouse support and colour themes. No API key needed.

#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 v14 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.

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

#Quick Start

One-line install (self-host the full stack with Docker — dashboard, Redis, AIS relay, seeded public data):

curl -fsSL https://www.worldmonitor.app/install.sh | bash

This clones into ./worldmonitor (or reuses your checkout), generates the required secrets, starts the stack, and seeds data. Then open localhost:3000. Options: --dir, --port, --no-seed, --no-build, passed after bash -s -- (see scripts/install.sh --help). API keys are optional. Details, production notes, and uninstall: SELF_HOSTING.md.

Local development (hot-reload Vite server):

Requires Node.js 24, the version pinned in .nvmrc. Distribution packages are often older. Debian 12 and Raspberry Pi OS ship Node.js 18 with npm 9.2.0, where npm install stops with Invalid comparator: file:vendor/braces. Install Node.js 24 with nvm (nvm install inside the checkout reads .nvmrc) or from nodejs.org.

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).

#Tech Stack

Full stack details in the architecture docs.

#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).

• Google Antigravity and Gemini listing preparation — install the bundled Antigravity plugin (.antigravity-plugin/plugin.json + mcp_config.json) with agy plugin install ./worldmonitor. Gemini custom apps and Connected Apps sign in through Google's OAuth callbacks. See Gemini and Antigravity.

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

• CLI — the official worldmonitor npm package (source in cli/). Run it with no arguments in a terminal for the terminal dashboard:

  npx worldmonitor tools          # run ad-hoc — list every MCP tool (no key needed)
  npm install -g worldmonitor     # or install the `worldmonitor` (alias `wm`) command
  brew install worldmonitor       # or install it with Homebrew
  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.

#Supported By

World Monitor's web app and API run on Vercel. Thank you to Vercel for their generous support of the project.

#Data Sources

WorldMonitor aggregates attributed upstream sources across geopolitics, finance, energy, climate, aviation, cyber, military, infrastructure, and news intelligence. Curated feeds and freshness-tracked source groups are published in the full data sources catalog, with provider, feed-tier, license-posture, and collection-method details.
