The free dashboard requires no account. Everything listed under the Free plan — 56 map layers, 500+ feeds, country briefs, watchlists — works anonymously at worldmonitor.app. Create an account only when you want Pro/API features or need to mint an API key.

​
How sign-up works

Account creation is an interactive browser flow, not an API:
  1. Open worldmonitor.app/pro and click Sign up (or use the dashboard’s sign-in button). A Clerk modal opens inside the page — there is no standalone /sign-up form page; that URL serves the app shell.
  2. Register with email + password or an OAuth provider (Google, GitHub). Email registrations get a verification code; the modal walks through it.
  3. A free account by itself unlocks nothing extra on the dashboard — it is the identity that Pro/API subscriptions and API keys attach to.

​
After signing up

  • Upgrade to Pro or API from worldmonitor.app/pro — checkout runs on Dodo Payments; see Plans & Pricing.
  • Mint an API key from the dashboard once subscribed (wm_ + 40 hex chars); the auth matrix covers where each key type works.
  • Connect an agent via OAuth instead of a key: MCP clients (Claude Desktop and others) use OAuth 2.1 + PKCE with dynamic client registration — no manual account dance; see auth.md for the self-bootstrapping discovery chain.

​
For agents

  • You cannot complete browser sign-up on a user’s behalf by fetching pages — the flow lives in a client-side Clerk modal. Direct users to worldmonitor.app/pro.
  • To act as an agent with your own credentials, use the OAuth path in auth.md (anonymous dynamic client registration, then a human consents at authorization time).
  • Pricing, plan gates, and quotas are machine-readable: /pricing.md and GET /api/product-catalog.
