sdk/python/README.md
Official Python SDK for the World Monitor global-intelligence API — country briefs, risk scores, conflict / cyber / market / news feeds, and every MCP tool, without writing an HTTP integration.
Stdlib-only (zero dependencies), MCP-first: the same design as the official worldmonitor npm CLI. The MCP server is the live, documented agent surface; a small REST escape hatch rounds it out.
pip install worldmonitor-sdk
from worldmonitor_sdk import Client
client = Client(api_key="wm_...") # or set WORLDMONITOR_API_KEY
client.list_tools() # public — no key needed
client.country_risk("IR") # curated helper
client.conflict_events(country="IR", limit=5)
client.call_tool("get_market_data", asset_class="crypto") # any MCP tool
client.get("/api/health") # raw REST GET
Data calls (tools/call) need a user API key — get one at worldmonitor.app/pro. Listing tools, prompts, and resources is public.
Every tool accepts an optional jmespath argument that projects the response server-side (typically an 80–95% size cut):
client.world_brief(jmespath="hotspots[].name")
See the JMESPath guide for worked examples.
worldmonitor_sdk.MCPError — the MCP server returned a JSON-RPC error (.code, auth failures carry a key hint).worldmonitor_sdk.APIError — a REST/transport failure (.status, .body).Both derive from worldmonitor_sdk.WorldMonitorError.
