About
Pressure Atlas publishes one Pressure reading per UTC day for the global macro field: a number from 0 to 5 with one of five words, expanding to compressing. Each day's reading is final once the UTC day closes, and every way in serves the same reading from the same pipeline.
It is built for AI agents and scripts rather than for people at a screen. An assistant asks for today's reading and gets one number back; a job fetches the last five days in a single call.
Ways to access the data
- MCP server: Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and any MCP client connect over OAuth or an API key and call the tools directly. Connect a client.
- REST API: the latest reading, the recent five days, and the dataset catalog over plain HTTPS with an API key. Fetch it over HTTP.
MCP and REST need an account. Create a free account for the last 5 days of readings and 200 calls a day.
Questions
- What does Pressure measure?
- The state of the global macro field, once a day. Each UTC day gets one reading on a five-word scale: expanding, releasing, equilibrium, building, or compressing.
- Are these predictions?
- No. Pressure Atlas measures conditions. It makes no predictions and no recommendations.
- How do I connect?
- Create a free account and point your AI client or script at Pressure Atlas. Claude, ChatGPT, and coding agents connect over OAuth in a couple of clicks; scripts and curl take an API key. The docs walk through every client and call.
- What does an account include?
- The last 5 days of readings, 200 tool calls a day, and a view of the whole catalog.
- Can I see which AI clients are connected?
- Yes. The dashboard lists every client connected to your account, with its last activity. Disconnect cuts that client off: its access is revoked and it must sign in again, with your approval, to reconnect.
- Can I put it on a wall display?
- Yes, and it's a good look. Open https://pressureatlas.com/?display=1 to strip the chrome away: just the fabric, today's reading, and the recent log. It refreshes on its own and keeps the screen awake. Made for a spare monitor or the TV nobody uses.
