World Monitor MCP Server

Last updated: July 7, 2026

The World Monitor MCP Server exposes World Monitor's real-time global-intelligence stack over the Model Context Protocol, so any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude web, Cursor, MCP Inspector, or a custom agent — can pull live conflict, market, aviation, maritime, economic, cyber, and forecasting data directly into a model's context. It is the recommended way for AI agents to consume World Monitor data.

Endpoint

• Server URL: https://worldmonitor.app/mcp — Streamable HTTP transport, JSON-RPC 2.0 (JSON responses by default, SSE when the client advertises text/event-stream; initialize defaults to protocol 2025-03-26).
• Server card: https://worldmonitor.app/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
• Docs MCP server: https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/mcp — a second, public (no-auth) MCP server with search-and-retrieval tools over the documentation. Route "how do I…" questions there; route live-data calls to the product server above.

Tools

The server ships 59 tools covering world and country briefs, country risk and resilience, China decision signals, conflict events, markets, commodities, global procurement opportunities, energy, maritime and aviation activity, cyber threats, sanctions, natural disasters, health signals, prediction markets, and AI forecasts. Issue tools/list for the live inventory, prompts/list for pre-built workflow templates, and resources/list for read-only resources. tools/list, prompts/list, and resources/list are public — no key required. Every tool accepts an optional jmespath argument for server-side projection, typically an 80–95% response-size cut.

MCP Apps

World Monitor supports MCP Apps (io.modelcontextprotocol/ui) with ten interactive ui:// app shells. The linked tools are get_country_risk, get_world_brief, get_country_brief, get_market_data, get_chokepoint_status, get_news_intelligence, get_conflict_events, get_natural_disasters, get_prediction_markets, and get_forecast_predictions; their UI resources are:

• ui://worldmonitor/country-risk.html
• ui://worldmonitor/world-brief.html
• ui://worldmonitor/country-brief.html
• ui://worldmonitor/market-radar.html
• ui://worldmonitor/chokepoint-monitor.html
• ui://worldmonitor/news-intelligence.html
• ui://worldmonitor/conflict-events.html
• ui://worldmonitor/natural-disasters.html
• ui://worldmonitor/prediction-markets.html
• ui://worldmonitor/forecasts.html

Hosts discover the links through _meta.ui.resourceUri in tools/list, enumerate the shells through resources/list, and fetch each template with resources/read. ui:// reads are public and quota-exempt because they return static, data-free HTML; live data still arrives through a normal authenticated tools/call. Full contract: MCP Apps.

Authentication

• tools/list and other discovery calls: anonymous, no key.
• tools/call and resources/read (data): need either an API key or OAuth.
  • API key: header X-WorldMonitor-Key: wm_<40-hex> — issue one at https://worldmonitor.app/pro. Rate limit: 60 requests/minute/key.
  • OAuth 2.1 (scope=mcp): Pro and API tiers can both connect via OAuth with no API key. Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) at https://worldmonitor.app/oauth/register; authorization and token endpoints follow OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Any OAuth-connected context — Pro or API tier — shares one 50 quota-consuming tools/call / resources/read counter per UTC day; API-tier clients that authenticate with a wm_… key instead have no daily reservation (only the 60 requests/minute limiter).
