How to Set Up and Use World Intel
World Intel MCP Server is a Python-based MCP server with 113 tools covering 30+ real-time global intelligence domains — stock markets, FX rates, bond yields, earnings, SEC filings, armed conflict events, military aircraft and naval tracking, cyber threats, internet infrastructure outages, earthquake and wildfire monitoring, economic indicators, and more. It connects to free public APIs with optional enhancement via paid-tier keys, and includes a live Leaflet-based ops-center dashboard with 20 map layers plus an optional Qdrant vector store for semantic queries across accumulated intelligence. Security researchers, financial analysts, and geopolitical intelligence professionals can use it to surface multi-domain situational awareness directly through Claude.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ and pip installed on your system
- Git to clone the repository
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
- Optional free API keys for enhanced data coverage: ACLED_ACCESS_TOKEN, NASA_FIRMS_API_KEY, EIA_API_KEY, FRED_API_KEY, CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN
- Optional: Docker or Qdrant instance for vector search features
Clone the repository
Clone the world-intel-mcp repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/marc-shade/world-intel-mcp.git
cd world-intel-mcpInstall core package
Install the core package with pip. Add optional extras for the dashboard, vector search, or PDF report generation as needed.
pip install -e .
# Optional extras:
pip install -e ".[dashboard]" # Live Leaflet dashboard
pip install -e ".[vector]" # Qdrant vector search
pip install -e ".[pdf]" # PDF report exportSet optional API keys for enhanced data coverage
All core tools work with free public APIs. Set these optional environment variables to unlock higher-rate or restricted datasets.
export ACLED_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_acled_token
export NASA_FIRMS_API_KEY=your_nasa_firms_key
export EIA_API_KEY=your_eia_key
export FRED_API_KEY=your_fred_key
export CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=your_cloudflare_token
export OPENSKY_CLIENT_ID=your_opensky_id
export OPENSKY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_opensky_secretAdd the server to your Claude Desktop configuration
Register the server in your Claude Desktop config file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS) to expose all 113 tools.

- "What armed conflict events occurred in Sub-Saharan Africa in the last 48 hours?"
- "Are there any active wildfires near populated areas in California right now?"
- "What is the current Bitcoin price and stablecoin health for USDT and USDC?"
- "Show me military aircraft activity in the Pacific region"
- "Pull the latest FRED data on US CPI inflation and unemployment rate"Troubleshooting World Intel
Some intelligence tools return empty data or rate limit errors
Most enhanced data sources require free API keys. Register at the relevant provider (FRED at fred.stlouisfed.org, ACLED at acleddata.com, NASA FIRMS at firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov) and add the keys to your MCP client's env block.
Dashboard fails to launch with import errors
Install the dashboard extras with `pip install -e ".[dashboard]"` from the cloned repository directory. This installs Streamlit and the Leaflet integration dependencies not included in the base install.
Module world_intel_mcp not found when starting via Claude Desktop
Ensure `pip install -e .` was run from inside the cloned directory and that Claude Desktop is using the same Python interpreter where the package was installed. Use the full absolute path to the Python executable in the MCP config's command field if needed.
