MCP server for diaspora services coordination between East Africa and abroad

Developer ToolsPythonv0.1.3

diaspora-mcp

Why This Exists

Kenyans abroad navigate dual citizenship, diaspora taxation, property purchase and document verification across two legal systems at once, usually with advice that is out of date or second-hand. The cost of getting it wrong is measured in years, not shillings.

Install

pip install diaspora-mcp

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "diaspora-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "diaspora_mcp.server"]
    }
  }
}

Data & Disclaimers

Immigration, tax and property rules change and interact with the law of your country of residence. This is orientation, not legal or tax advice — confirm with an advocate and a qualified tax adviser.

Every tool response carries a source field. Responses labelled DEMO are illustrative reference data, not a live feed — verify against the authority named in the response before acting on it.

Part of the East Africa Coordination Stack

This MCP server is one of 32 tools in the Kenya coordination infrastructure. Connect it to africa-coord-bus — the coordination event bus that routes signals between domains automatically.

pip install africa-coord-bus

All 32 servers: pypi.org/user/gmahia Live demo: coord-cascade-demo

Model-agnostic by design: closed APIs, open-weight models, and small distilled models are all first-class citizens.
