Ways to Use It | Surface | Get it | Docs | |---------|--------|------| | **Web app** | [worldmonitor.app](https://www.worldmonitor.app) and the tech, finance, commodity, happy and energy variants | [Getting Started](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/getting-started) | | **Desktop app** (Tauri) | Windows, macOS and Linux downloads above | [Desktop App](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/desktop-app) | | **Terminal dashboard** | `npx worldmonitor` | [Terminal Dashboard](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/cli-dashboard) | | **CLI** | `npm install -g worldmonitor` or `brew install worldmonitor` | [Command-Line Client](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/cli) | | **SDKs** | Python `worldmonitor-sdk`, Ruby `worldmonitor`, Go `sdk/go` | [SDKs](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/sdks) | | **MCP server** | `https://worldmonitor.app/mcp` | [MCP Overview](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/mcp-overview) | 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)](https://www.worldmonitor.app/country-instability-index/)** — 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](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/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 | | `worldmonitor` npm package (terminal dashboard and CLI) | Stable | Published from [`cli/`](https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/blob/main/cli) on every `cli-v*` tag | Issues filed against any of the above are triaged from the same backlog — see the [issues board](https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/issues) for currently-open work. --- ## Quick Start ```bash git clone https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor.git cd worldmonitor npm install npm run dev ``` Open [localhost:3000](http://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: ```bash 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](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/getting-started)** for deployment options (Vercel, Docker, static). --- ## Tech Stack | Category | Technologies | |----------|-------------| | **Frontend** | Vanilla TypeScript, Vite, globe.gl + Three.js, deck.gl + MapLibre GL | | **Desktop** | Tauri 2 (Rust) with Node.js sidecar | | **AI/ML** | Ollama / OpenRouter, Transformers.js (browser-side) | | **API Contracts** | Protocol Buffers and sebuf HTTP annotations | | **Deployment** | Vercel Edge Functions, Railway relay, Tauri, PWA | | **Caching** | Redis (Upstash), 3-tier cache, CDN, service worker | Full stack details in the **[architecture docs](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/architecture)**. --- ## 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](https://worldmonitor.app/openapi.yaml). - **CLI** — the official [`worldmonitor`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/worldmonitor) npm package (source in [`cli/`](https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/blob/main/cli)). Run it with no arguments in a terminal for the [terminal dashboard](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/cli-dashboard): ```sh 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`](https://pypi.org/project/worldmonitor-sdk/) (source in [`sdk/python/`](https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/blob/main/sdk/python)), Ruby [`worldmonitor`](https://rubygems.org/gems/worldmonitor) ([`sdk/ruby/`](https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/blob/main/sdk/ruby)), Go [`github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/sdk/go`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/sdk/go) ([`sdk/go/`](https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/blob/main/sdk/go)).
