## 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 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](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 |

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/`](cli/)):

```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
  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/`](sdk/python/)), Ruby [`worldmonitor`](https://rubygems.org/gems/worldmonitor) ([`sdk/ruby/`](sdk/ruby/)), Go [`github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/sdk/go`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/sdk/go) ([`sdk/go/`](sdk/go/)). Guide: [worldmonitor.app/docs/sdks](https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/sdks).

Agent discovery files: [`llms.txt`](https://worldmonitor.app/llms.txt) · [agent-skills manifest](https://worldmonitor.app/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) · [api-catalog](https://worldmonitor.app/.well-known/api-catalog).
