About Findra
The verified hub for building AI products in Africa.
Findra is the hub to find verified APIs, MCP servers, datasets, developer tools and AI agent skills for AI-driven development across Africa, starting Nigeria-deep, with more countries rolling out. Built for developers, startups, foreign founders, investors and AI agents.
Why it exists
Building with African infrastructure means hunting across scattered blog posts, dead documentation and half-maintained SDKs to answer simple questions: which payment API actually works, which dataset is current, which KYC provider needs a licence. The information exists, but it is fragmented and rarely verified.
Findra pulls it into one place and holds it to a standard. A developer searching for a payment API finds one that is documented and live. A foreign founder can understand the rails (payments, identity, licensing) before committing to a market. An AI agent gets clean, structured JSON it can build on.
Status-verified, not just listed
Most directories list a link and move on. Findra checks the thing. Every resource has its documentation, licensing and live status actually verified, and we flag what is broken, gated or shut down so you find out before you integrate, not after.
Pan-African, Nigeria-deep
Nigeria is live and verified the deepest today. The brand, data model and infrastructure are pan-African from day one, and more countries are rolling out. Resources are tagged by country so coverage stays honest as it grows.
Readable by humans, queryable by agents
The same registry that people browse is exposed over a clean, CORS-open JSON API. AI agents can query it and reason over structured data with no scraping, which makes Findra usable inside the products people build with it.
A map, not a list
Findra spans APIs, MCP servers, datasets, tools and AI resources, and maps the relationships between them: which MCP server wraps which API, which tool implements which spec, which provider acquired which. The connections are part of the value.
How verification works
- 1. Source. Each resource is found from official providers, public registries, package indexes and open data portals, never invented.
- 2. Check. Its website, documentation and repository are opened and confirmed live. The real status is recorded: live, broken, gated, redirected or shut down.
- 3. Flag. Licensing is captured (open, approval required, institutional, paid) so you know the cost of entry up front.
- 4. Connect. Where a resource wraps, implements or replaces another, that relationship is recorded and surfaced.
