The World Now
Agent API · MCP

Build on live geopolitical intelligence

Real-time wars, disasters, market catalysts, and a Global Risk Index — grounded in cited source reporting. Give your agents one MCP connection or a metered REST key and let them read the world as it happens.

Connect in one command:

claude mcp add worldnow --transport http https://www.the-world-now.com/api/mcp
