Africa Api Mcp

Overview

Africa Api Mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Claude and other AI assistants to the Africa API, providing access to comprehensive data across all 54 African countries. The server exposes Africa API functionality as tools your AI assistant can invoke directly, enabling queries about countries, regions, and continental data without manual API calls.

The server runs locally through the npm package africa-api-mcp, communicating over stdio. Installation is straightforward using npx -y africa-api-mcp. You'll need to configure the AFRICA_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate with the Africa API. The current release is v0.1.1, distributed under the MIT license with source code available at africa-api/africa-api-mcp on GitHub.

Africa Api Mcp is listed in the Development category and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim your listing on mcp.site to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
