Cons

  • Resilience map layer, curated feeds and the WM Analyst chat are gated behind Pro
  • Pro starts at $39.99/mo — required for MCP/API access, digests and the scenario engine
  • Real-time data is heavy and requires JavaScript to refresh live signals
  • Enterprise and white-label deployments require contacting sales (Enterprise tier)
  • Free dashboard uses many third-party feeds, so availability depends on external providers

World Monitor is a free, open-source global intelligence dashboard (AGPL-3.0) that fuses geopolitics, shipping, aviation, infrastructure, cyber, markets and macro signals onto a single live world map. It correlates separate feeds into one operating picture and flags convergence before it becomes a headline.

Pro (from $39.99/mo, 3 months free annually) adds the WM Analyst chat, an hourly scenario engine, scheduled personal digests to Slack/Telegram/email, MCP and REST API access, a custom widget builder and the Resilience layer. Builders can wire it into Claude or GPT via an MCP server, call a documented OpenAPI 3.1 REST API, or install native SDKs on npm, PyPI, RubyGems and Go with JMESPath projection. Live data spans 57 map layer types, 461 news/OSINT feeds and 761 attributed providers, including ACLED, UCDP, AISStream, OpenSky, NASA FIRMS, USGS, IMF, BIS, FRED and Finnhub. Features include SGP4-computed satellite tracking, GPS jamming zones, 13 live AIS chokepoints, AI datacenter mapping and 86 subsea cables — every panel citing its sources inline.

FAQ from World Monitor

Questions and answers included with this listing.

Is World Monitor really free?

Yes. The live map — every layer except Resilience, curated feeds, country briefs, breaking alerts and monitoring surfaces — is free with no signup and no trial clock. Pro pays for additional feeds, the WM Analyst chat, the scenario engine, digests, MCP/API access and the Resilience layer.

Where does the data come from?

Named providers include ACLED and UCDP for conflict, AISStream for live vessels, OpenSky for aircraft, NASA FIRMS for fires, USGS for earthquakes, and IMF, BIS, FRED and Finnhub for markets and macro, plus curated news feeds. Every panel cites its sources and timestamps inline.

Can AI agents like Claude or GPT use it?

Yes. World Monitor ships an MCP server with a live tool registry so Claude, GPT or any MCP-compatible agent can query live risk scores, chokepoint status, conflicts, markets and briefs, with JMESPath projection for exact field selection.

Is World Monitor open source?

Yes — open source under AGPL-3.0 on GitHub, so users can read the code, self-host it, or build on it. Native desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux plus an Android TV app are also available.

Do I need an account?
