MCP servers for African infrastructure: 32 verified options, organized by use case

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers let AI agents call real APIs through natural language. Instead of writing integration code, an agent running in Claude, Cursor, or a custom SDK app can trigger an M-Pesa STK push, check CBN exchange rates, or send an OTP without glue code from you.

The Findra registry contains 32 verified MCP servers built specifically for African infrastructure. This is a map of what exists and when to reach for each one.

Payments: the most covered category

Payment infrastructure has the deepest MCP coverage. The Payments category alone holds 13 verified servers, spanning Nigeria, East Africa, West Africa Francophone, Southern Africa, and North Africa.

Nigeria:

Paystack MCP is the official server from PaystackOSS. It exposes the entire Paystack API dynamically by parsing Paystack's OpenAPI spec at runtime, so it stays current as Paystack adds endpoints. Two primary tools: get_paystack_operation and make_paystack_request. Start here if you accept payments in Nigeria.

Flutterwave MCP is a community server for payments, transfers, and virtual accounts. Nomba MCP wraps Nomba's payments and POS platform in a TypeScript npm package (@theyahia/nomba-mcp, 8 tools).

Kenya and East Africa:

Several dedicated M-Pesa/Daraja MCP servers exist in the registry. They each wrap the Safaricom Daraja API but differ in language (Python, TypeScript, PHP), deployment (local stdio, Cloudflare Worker, Docker), and maintainer. PayLink MCP is the most structured, shipping Docker support and framing itself as a framework with Airtel Money and bank integrations planned.

Africa Payments MCP gives a single unified layer across M-Pesa, Paystack, MTN MoMo, and Flutterwave. Useful if you need portability across operators without swapping MCPs.

West Africa Francophone:

CinetPay MCP is the official server from CinetPay, covering ten Francophone African countries, with tools including initialize_payment, check_payment_status, and create_transfer. Requires account approval.

WariMCP is a community server wrapping nine West African payment rails: CinetPay, Wave, Hub2/Ecobank, PAPSS, FedaPay, KKiaPay, Moneroo, MTN MoMo, and Flutterwave. Eight tools, including initiate_payment, verify_payment and list_providers. Runs as stdio (for Claude/Cursor) or as an Express HTTP API.

Deggo MCP is Senegal-specific, with Orange Money for sending money, balance checks, and transaction history. Wave is listed as an upcoming integration. Requires account approval.

Southern Africa and North Africa:

PayFast MCP (npm @theyahia/payfast-mcp) and Yoco MCP (npm @theyahia/yoco-mcp) cover South African payment gateways with 8 tools each. Chargily MCP (npm @theyahia/chargily-mcp) wraps Algeria's Chargily Pay including CIB/EDAHABIA card checkouts, with 8 tools.

Open banking

Mono MCP is a community server with 12 tools for account, identity, and transaction data via Mono's open-banking API. It has the highest community interest in this subcategory.

Anchor MCP is the official server from Anchor, exposing its Banking-as-a-Service API docs as live queryable context for agents building on Anchor's BaaS platform.

Telecom and messaging

Termii MCP is a community server with 8 tools for SMS, OTP, and voice via Termii, Nigeria-primary. Africa's Talking SMS MCP covers pan-African, multi-country SMS via Africa's Talking. Africa's Talking Airtime MCP handles airtime top-up across Africa's Talking-supported countries.

SendByte MCP is the official email server (npm @sendbyte/mcp) from SendByte, an African email infrastructure provider. Covers domain management, templates, deliverability analytics, and content checks.

Data and country infrastructure

CBN MCP wraps the Central Bank of Nigeria's public API, giving agents access to regulatory circulars, official exchange rates, and monetary policy metrics. Built by Zfinix.

Africa API MCP is the broadest data server in the registry: 40 tools covering economy, FX, trade, government, and geographic data across all 54 African nations.

Mansa African Markets MCP covers the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) and 13 other African stock exchanges for capital-markets use cases.

afro.tools MCP runs as a remote HTTP endpoint (https://mcp.afro.tools), which means you can add it to Claude Code as a plugin without any local setup. It exposes machine-readable API specs for 12+ providers across 21 countries, spanning payments, SMS, identity, and logistics.

GhanaPostGPS MCP wraps Ghana Post GPS to resolve GPS codes (e.g. GA-554-3608) into coordinates, streets, districts, and regions, with batch processing support.

Zambia Fintech MCP covers Zambia-specific financial utilities: PAYE and NAPSA payroll calculations based on 2024 tax bands, ZESCO prepaid electricity unit math, BOZ exchange rates, and MTN mobile money fee quoting.

WapiMaji MCP provides real-time drought and water-stress data for all 47 Kenyan counties using NDMA classifications, with SMS alert capability via Africa's Talking.

Logistics and commerce

Chowdeck MCP is an unofficial community server with 45 tools for Nigeria food and grocery delivery: vendor discovery, menu browsing, cart management, order placement, and delivery tracking. Works for existing Chowdeck customers with a saved card. The project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Chowdeck.

Paylo Commerce MCP covers Nigerian e-commerce integrated with Paystack. Ultraner MCP is the official server for Ultraner's payments and escrow platform, supporting agent-driven checkout sessions, refunds, and escrow workflows across Africa.
