# Findra

> Find the verified APIs, MCP servers, datasets and AI agent skills for building 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.

Findra is a status-verified registry: every resource's documentation, licensing and
live status is actually checked, not just listed. 240 verified resources across
5 categories and 16 African countries.

## For AI agents: query the registry as JSON

The entire registry is available as a clean, CORS-open JSON API (GET only). No scraping needed.

- All resources: https://findra.dev/api/resources
- Search: https://findra.dev/api/resources?q=payment
- By category: https://findra.dev/api/resources?category=apis (apis | mcp | datasets | tools | ai)
- By country: https://findra.dev/api/resources?country=NG (accepts code or name, e.g. NG, KE, Nigeria)
- Combine: https://findra.dev/api/resources?country=KE&category=apis
- Pagination: &page=1&pageSize=24 (pageSize max 60; the registry is ~240 resources)
- OpenAPI 3.1 contract: https://findra.dev/openapi.json
- Unknown category or country values return HTTP 400 with the valid set, so you can self-correct.

## MCP server (for agent runtimes)

Findra ships a Model Context Protocol server so agents can query the registry as tools:
  claude mcp add --transport http findra https://findra.dev/api/mcp
Tools: search_resources, get_resource, list_categories, list_countries.

Each resource includes: name, slug, description, category, subcategory, website,
documentation_url, github_url, pricing, verified, country, docs_status
(LIVE | BROKEN | UNAVAILABLE | REDIRECT | SHUT_DOWN), licensing_required, tags, url.
