worldwideview
WorldWideView is an MCP server integrated into a real-time geospatial intelligence platform that visualizes live global data on an interactive 3D globe powered by CesiumJS. The MCP endpoint allows AI assistants like Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline to programmatically control the globe, fly to locations, toggle data layers, and query entities. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and a plugin-driven architecture, it ingests live data streams from public APIs and microservices, rendering them as interactive layers on Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles. Developers can extend the platform with custom plugins for new data sources or connect external MCP clients to drive the visualization through natural language commands.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Connect Claude Code or Claude Desktop to explore and query live global flight tracking data through natural language
- 02Build geospatial analysis workflows where AI agents fly the globe to specific coordinates and toggle data layers
- 03Create custom plugins to ingest and visualize proprietary data sources (maritime traffic, weather events, IoT sensors)
- 04Automate situational awareness dashboards by having AI agents select and inspect entities on the 3D globe
- 05Develop educational demos where students interact with global datasets through conversational AI interfaces
- 06Integrate real-time conflict or disaster monitoring into AI-assisted decision support systems

worldwideview — FAQ
What is WorldWideView?+
WorldWideView is a real-time geospatial intelligence platform with a built-in MCP server that exposes controls for an interactive 3D globe. AI assistants can connect to the /api/mcp endpoint to fly the camera, toggle data layers, and query live entities like aircraft or vessels rendered on CesiumJS with Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles.
How do I connect WorldWideView to Claude Code or Claude Desktop?+
Generate an API key from the /setup page (Settings > API Keys). Add the MCP server configuration to your client's config file with type "http", the URL pointing to your WorldWideView instance at /api/mcp, and an Authorization header with your Bearer token. For local development, use http://localhost:3000/api/mcp.
Which AI clients work with WorldWideView?+
WorldWideView's MCP endpoint supports any MCP-compatible client, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and other tools that implement the Model Context Protocol over HTTP.
Do I need API keys or prerequisites to run WorldWideView?+
You need Node.js 20+, pnpm 9+, and PostgreSQL (or Docker to use the included container). The setup script generates required secrets (BETTER_AUTH_SECRET and ENCRYPTION_MASTER_KEY) automatically. No external API keys are required for core functionality, though individual plugins may have their own requirements.
Is WorldWideView free to use?+
Yes, WorldWideView is open-source under the Elastic License 2.0, allowing free use, modification, and self-hosting. You can deploy it on your own infrastructure without licensing costs.
How do plugin tools appear in the MCP tools list?+
Plugin tools appear in tools/list only after the browser tab running WorldWideView has loaded the relevant plugin. The MCP server snapshots the catalog per-request, so if you load a new plugin after calling tools/list, you must call tools/list again to see the new tools.
How do I install worldwideview?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. worldwideview is a mcp server — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is worldwideview free?+
worldwideview is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
