sidebarTitle: "Tool index"
description: "Index of every MCP tool World Monitor exposes, grouped by category, linking to per-category pages with parameters, freshness windows, backing API endpoints and example calls."
---

Complete reference for every MCP tool. Use this alongside the [MCP Server overview](/mcp-overview) (connection, auth, plans, errors).

Every tool returns the standard MCP content-block format:

```json
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": { "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "{...json payload...}" }] } }
```

Cache-backed tools (the majority) include `cached_at` (ISO timestamp) and `stale: boolean` in their JSON payload so you can reason about freshness.

The `curl` examples below all assume you've exported your API key:

```bash
export WM_KEY="wm_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567"  # or use the OAuth bearer token instead — see /mcp-overview#authentication
```

If you've completed the OAuth flow instead, replace `-H "X-WorldMonitor-Key: $WM_KEY"` with `-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"` in each example.

<Tip>
The registry grows over time — `tools/list` (or the [server card](https://worldmonitor.app/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json)) is always the authoritative live inventory. Every tool section below carries an **Access** line (`free`, `free-account`, or `subscription`) matching the `_meta["worldmonitor/access"]` marker the server emits.
</Tip>

## Discovering tools

Before diving into the per-tool reference, two affordances make discovery cheaper than reading this page top-to-bottom. If you are starting from a REST route instead of a tool name, use the [API coverage table](/mcp-overview#api-coverage); per-tool **API endpoints** lines mean exact `_apiPaths` declarations, while `none directly` means the tool returns data without claiming an equivalent REST route.

MCP coverage is intentionally curated. Some OpenAPI operations are REST-only because they mutate state, pass through LLM cost, fetch paid/high-cardinality upstreams on cache miss, or need manual cache-key mapping. The [API coverage section](/mcp-overview#api-coverage) names the enforced categories and links the current follow-up trackers.

The full guide is on [discovery and typed parsing](/mcp-tools/discovery):

- [`describe_tool` — one tool's definition on demand](/mcp-tools/discovery)
- [`outputSchema` — typed parsing without a sample call](/mcp-tools/discovery)
