Monitor geopolitical risk with 58 live map layers, 469 OSINT feeds, maritime chokepoints, and markets, free under AGPL-3.0.
Country dossiers open with one click and include AI briefs citing source headlines, instability score breakdowns, and 7-day event timelines. The command palette gives rapid access to any of 621 map layers and panels without prior familiarity with the interface.
If the analysis requires raw, unfiltered feed data for independent fact-checking rather than AI-synthesized briefs, the upstream sources the dashboard draws from may be more direct.
The commodity lens fuses AIS port data, chokepoint disruption scores, pipeline and LNG infrastructure locations, energy asset prices, and weather layers on one screen. The correlation surface makes it possible to evaluate whether a supply disruption is physically plausible before markets have priced it.
Traders who need tick-by-tick execution data or direct broker integration will not find that here; World Monitor is a risk intelligence layer, not a trading terminal.
The cyber and infrastructure overlay maps 98 subsea cables, BGP anomaly feeds, power outages, and network disruption signals alongside country risk scores and physical chokepoints. Cascade risks that only appear when physical and digital signals are cross-referenced become visible in one view.
Organizations that need proprietary threat-intelligence feeds, incident response workflows, or SIEM integration will need to pipe World Monitor API output into those systems; the dashboard itself is not a managed security service.
The MCP server exposes 95 tools covering risk scores, chokepoints, conflicts, markets, and briefings. SDKs are available for npm, Python, Ruby, and Go. An agent can call get_chokepoint_status and get_country_risk in the same session to assess supply-chain exposure in real time. Agent discovery files (llms.txt and an agent-skills manifest) are published at worldmonitor.app.
Pro subscription required for MCP and API access; the free tier supports manual dashboard use only.
Monitoring global geopolitical risk means watching dozens of separate signal streams: breaking news, AIS vessel positions, commodity prices, country instability scores, and cyber-threat feeds that rarely share a view or timeline. Most teams either miss the correlations entirely or pay enterprise rates for managed intelligence products that package the feeds but don't expose their data models or collection methods.
The gap deepens when signals converge quickly. A maritime chokepoint disruption, an escalating conflict, and an energy price spike can unfold within hours of each other, but the connection between them stays invisible if the data lives in separate dashboards. By the time an analyst has cross-referenced three products, the window for a useful decision may have closed.
Renders conflicts, vessel positions, flights, satellites, GPS jamming zones, subsea cables, power infrastructure, and market data simultaneously on a single interactive map. Layers span geopolitics, maritime, aviation, climate, cyber, and AI infrastructure. The command palette gives access to all 621 layer and panel commands without navigating menus.
Pulls from 773 attributed providers across global, regional, and specialist categories, then AI-synthesizes feeds into country briefs that cite the underlying headlines. Each feed source is documented with provider, feed-tier, license posture, and collection method in the public data sources catalog.
Tracks vessel counts and disruption scores across 13 critical maritime passages including Hormuz, Suez, Bab el-Mandeb, and the Kerch Strait. AIS data from Wingbits shows live vessel density and flags dark-ship gaps where AIS transmission has stopped.
The MCP server at worldmonitor.app/mcp exposes 95 tools covering risk scores, chokepoints, conflicts, markets, and country briefings. A documented OpenAPI 3.1 REST API supports JMESPath projection on every call. Native SDKs are published for npm (worldmonitor), PyPI (worldmonitor-sdk), RubyGems (worldmonitor), and Go. API and MCP access require a Pro subscription.
Maps 313 AI datacenters with power source, operator, and grid proximity metadata. Grid stress, outage, heat, and wildfire layers overlay the physical assets to show which compute corridors are under pressure. Market panels correlate AI company equities and energy assets alongside physical exposure.
The live Country Instability Index (CII v14) scores 31 Tier-1 countries across 12 fused signals with approximate 24-hour movement. Resilience rankings cover 170 countries using five-factor scorecards. Both datasets are documented with methodology and updated continuously; individual indicator scores are available on the Pro tier.
Both target geopolitical and political risk intelligence, but on opposite access models. Seerist is a commercial intelligence product with enterprise pricing and proprietary data access. World Monitor is AGPL-3.0, free at $0 for the core dashboard, and aggregates 469 OSINT feeds from 773 publicly attributed providers.
| Feature | World Monitor | Seerist |
|---|---|---|
| License | AGPL-3.0 | Proprietary |
| Free tier | Yes ($0, no account) | No |
| Self-hosting | Yes | No |
| Source attribution | 773 named providers | Not disclosed |
| Map layers | 58 types, live | Not disclosed |
| API access | Pro ($39.99/mo) | Enterprise tier |
World Monitor is the stronger pick when you need source transparency, self-hosting, or free access to live geopolitical signals. Seerist may be a better fit for organizations that require curated analyst outputs or exclusive data sets beyond what public OSINT sources cover.
RANE provides expert advisory content and country risk assessments via an enterprise subscription. World Monitor does not replicate a human advisory layer; its focus is real-time signal aggregation and correlation across public and attributed sources.
| Feature | World Monitor | RANE |
|---|---|---|
| License | AGPL-3.0 | Proprietary |
| Pricing | $0 free / $39.99/mo Pro | Enterprise subscription |
| Self-hosting | Yes | No |
| Country coverage | 170 resilience rankings | Enterprise tier |
| Data type | Live feeds and correlation | Analyst reports and assessments |
| API access | REST and MCP (Pro) | Enterprise tier |
World Monitor is the better fit for teams that need live signal correlation, self-hosting, or developer integration without enterprise licensing. RANE suits organizations where the deliverable is structured expert advisory reports rather than live signal monitoring.
Self-hosting the dashboard uses a git clone and Node.js server setup.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor.git
cd worldmonitor
npm install
npm run dev
```Yes. The dashboard runs at $0 with no signup and no trial clock. Every map layer except Resilience is accessible without an account. Pro ($39.99/month) adds MCP access, AI analyst chat, scenario engine, custom digests, and the Resilience layer.
Yes. Clone the repository from GitHub, run npm install, and start with npm run dev. The dashboard loads at localhost:3000 with no mandatory API keys for the base feature set. Feature-specific data integrations require additional credentials documented in .env.example. Docker and Vercel deployments are also supported.
AGPL-3.0. You can run it on your own infrastructure, use it commercially, and fork it provided you comply with AGPL terms. Running a modified version as a public service requires making source changes available under the same license. Private internal use is permitted without that requirement. Proprietary commercial use or official branding rights need a separate commercial license from the maintainer.
Seerist and RANE are commercial intelligence products with enterprise pricing and proprietary data access. World Monitor is AGPL-3.0, free at $0 for the core dashboard, and aggregates 469 OSINT feeds from 773 publicly attributed providers. The key difference is source transparency and access model: World Monitor's data sources are documented and named, and the self-hosting path is open.
The MCP server at worldmonitor.app/mcp exposes 95 tools covering risk scores, maritime chokepoints, conflicts, markets, and country briefings. AI clients connect over Streamable HTTP using a Pro API key in the X-WorldMonitor-Key header or via OAuth. The server publishes an agent-skills manifest at worldmonitor.app/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json for automated discovery. MCP and REST API access require a Pro subscription.
