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
No FAQ yet. Enrichment fills this from the README on the next crawl.
No tool list yet. Remote servers get one after the first health check.
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.
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).
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.
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
Flight data provided graciously by Wingbits, the most advanced ADS-B flight data solution.
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.
