For ChatGPT and Claude users

Track World Events With ChatGPT or Claude

Your assistant reads what it can fetch when you ask. Off-Nadir Delta keeps reading when you don’t, and keeps the record. Connect the two, and the assistant reasons over that record.

Connect your assistant See today’s events

Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is

A general AI assistant such as ChatGPT or Claude can search and summarise the news whenever you ask, but each answer is built from what it fetches for that request. It does not keep a record of each event with its earlier values and the source of every change, it can read fifty reprints as fifty confirmations, and it cannot see events that were never reported. Off-Nadir Delta keeps that record continuously: in the 24 hours to 19 October 2026 it took in 15,122 articles. Connect it to the assistant over MCP and the assistant answers from the record instead of re-reading the news.

What can an AI assistant do with world news on its own?

Facts last reviewed 2026-10-19.

Task	AI assistant on its own	AI assistant with Off-Nadir Delta connected
Summarise today’s reporting on one event	yes — search and read	yes — from the event record, with every source behind it
Tell one event apart from fifty reprints	Reads what search returns; reprints can look like separate confirmations	Reports of the same event are folded into one record; the outlet count is breadth, not independent confirmation
Say what changed since last week	Searches again and reads what ranks now	Each change is recorded with its earlier value and the source behind it (query_developments, get_event_thread)
Watch a place and say when something changes	Some apps can repeat a request on a schedule; each run is a new search	A watch on a facility, area or event is checked every hour; changes arrive in the app, by email, or in Slack, Discord or a webhook
Say how precisely the place is known	Names the place in prose	reported, localized or pinpointed, with the reason it stopped there
Say whether a satellite could check it, and when	Has to reason it out from the text	Whether the event is observable from orbit and why not, the scenes over it, and the next passes (plan_event_imagery, predict_satellite_passes)
See events that never reached the news	Not in search results	Measured events: satellite heat sources near facilities, ship transits through straits, night-light drops, SO2 near volcanoes, quakes and cyclone winds near facilities

The left column describes how a general assistant works with web search, not any one product’s current feature list. The right column is what Off-Nadir Delta records today; the methodology page has the rules and the latest quality checks, and the article on why has the measurements and sources. Off-Nadir Delta is an independent project and is not affiliated with OpenAI or Anthropic.

What can you ask once Delta is connected?

Ask in plain language. The assistant picks the tool; each answer carries its sources, and a tool your plan does not open says which plan does.

“What changed about events around the Strait of Hormuz this week?”
Answered with query_developments
“Watch the port of Odesa and tell me when something new happens there.”
Answered with create_watch
“Give me the whole story of this event, with every source and every change.”
Answered with get_event_thread
“Could a satellite check this event, and when can the place next be imaged?”
Answered with plan_event_imagery · predict_satellite_passes
“Which of today’s events are worth imaging, and with what kind of satellite?”
Answered with rank_imaging_priority

How It Works

Create a free Off-Nadir Delta account

No credit card. Calls are metered in tokens from your balance, and get_usage tells the assistant what is left at no cost.

Add the MCP server to your assistant

In Claude (claude.ai or Claude Desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste https://offnadir-delta.com/api/v1/mcp and approve the login. In ChatGPT: enable Developer mode under Settings → Connectors → Advanced (not every plan has it), then add the same URL. Other MCP clients are covered in the MCP docs.

Ask about the world as usual

The assistant calls Delta when the question needs the record — what changed, where, how sure, and whether a satellite can check it — and keeps doing the explaining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ChatGPT or Claude monitor world news for me on their own?▼

Partly. An assistant can search and summarise the news whenever you ask, and some assistant apps can repeat a request on a schedule. Each run is still a new search over what ranks at that moment: the assistant does not keep a record of each event with its earlier values and the source of every change, does not fold reprints of the same story into one event, and does not see events that were never reported. Connecting a source that keeps that record, such as Off-Nadir Delta over MCP, gives the assistant those answers to read.

Is there an MCP server for live world events?▼

Yes. Off-Nadir Delta runs a remote MCP server at https://offnadir-delta.com/api/v1/mcp with tools for geolocated events, what changed about them, the Watchlist, satellite scene search and pass prediction. It is listed in the official MCP Registry as com.offnadir-delta/mcp, and Claude and ChatGPT connect to it over OAuth without an API key.

Does Off-Nadir Delta replace ChatGPT or Claude?▼

No. Delta does the work that has to happen whether or not anyone asks: reading continuously, folding reports into events, placing each one, recording what changed and watching the places you choose. The assistant does what it is good at: explaining what the record means and answering follow-up questions.

Which AI assistants can connect to Off-Nadir Delta?▼

Any MCP client. Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Claude Code), ChatGPT in Developer mode, Cursor and VS Code are covered step by step in the MCP docs, and a ChatGPT custom GPT can use the same data through GPT Actions. Code can call the REST API or the Python SDK directly.

What does it cost to connect an assistant?▼

Connecting is free and a free account is enough to start. Calls are metered in tokens from your Off-Nadir Delta balance; some tools, such as get_world_brief and get_usage, cost nothing. What each tool returns follows your plan, and a refusal says which plan opens it. Current plans are on the pricing page.

How reliable is the data the assistant gets from Delta?▼

Delta uses language models to read each article, so it can make mistakes. What it adds is that the mistakes are checked and published: automated consistency checks run over the whole record every day, and the methodology page shows the latest result, including every check that did not pass. Each event links the reporting it came from, so the assistant can cite it and you can open it.
