# Capabilities - Monitor.Guide

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Monitor.Guide does not ship a paid product tier in this build. App-owned capabilities are included and on by default: dashboard panels, AI analysis, custom widgets, notifications, API keys, MCP clients, brief workflows, and variant dashboards.

Some capabilities still require normal operational prerequisites:

- Account-scoped workflows: sign in to create personal API keys, MCP OAuth clients, notification channels, saved preferences, and user-specific briefs.
- Provider-backed data: external APIs such as ACLED, AISStream, Groq/OpenRouter, market feeds, or notification relays require the deployment operator to configure the relevant server-side credentials.
- Rate limits: public API and provider limits may still apply to protect upstream services and infrastructure.
- Self-hosting: operators are responsible for their own provider keys, Redis/Convex configuration, relay services, and deployment secrets.

## Included

- Price: $0/month
- Signup required: No for the public dashboard; yes for user-owned artifacts
- Includes: 56 map layers, 500+ curated feeds, country briefs, hotspots, instability scores, chokepoints, cables, cascade analysis, breaking alert pipeline, watchlists, AI analyst workflows, Scenario Engine, Route Explorer, personal digests, custom widget builder, API keys, MCP access, and notification delivery channels.
- Limits: No product-tier gate. Infrastructure, provider, and anti-abuse rate limits still apply.
