Fomu (Swahili for "form")

Why This Exists

"Form Agent: turns messy user answers into applications, checklists, letters."
— East Africa AI Infrastructure Schematic

Kenya's government processes are documented but navigating them requires knowing what to look for.
fomu-mcp encodes the institutional knowledge: what to bring, where to go, how long it takes, what to pay.

Install

pip install fomu-mcp

form_checklistComplete requirements list for any Kenya government form
