MCP server for congregation and community-organization coordination in East Africa
Faith institutions run a substantial share of Kenya's schools, clinics and welfare programmes, but their service directories are fragmented by denomination. For someone seeking help, the relevant question is what is nearby and open, not who runs it.
pip install church-mcp
