afro.tools
Open-source API specs for African providers (payments, SMS, KYC, delivery) for AI agents.
What it does
afro.tools is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
From the publisher's description, Electra Index matched it to one capability: payments. That makes it a candidate for tasks such as detect fraudulent transactions or reconcile payments.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.

5 tools offered to AI assistants
list_providers· Lists all providers and their verification status. Every listed provider is AI Ready: its specs give you a structured description to integrate it from. They can still contain errors — that is what each capability's "status" reports. all_versearch_specs· Searches specs by words and filters by category, channel, provider, country, currency, status or capability type. Returns the matching providers, each with its countries, currencies, sandbox flag, docs URL and the matching capabilities (namget_spec· Returns the full spec payload for a provider + capability, including canonical_example.ts source code. Use this to get the complete integration guide — auth pattern, endpoint, schemas, gotchas, and a TypeScript example — before writing APIrequest_spec· Logs a request for a spec that doesn't exist yet and notifies maintainers. Call this when a user asks for a provider or capability that has no spec in the registry (check list_providers first). This helps maintainers prioritize which specsreport_integration· Builds a pre-filled GitHub link to report how an integration went against a spec — it worked, or the spec is wrong. Call it when the user confirms an integration works against the real API (sandbox or production), or when you find the spec
What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
