💳 mkopo-mcp — Alternative Credit Scoring MCP Server

Compatible with claude-sonnet-5 (released 2026-06-30) — Anthropic's most agentic Sonnet yet. Runs multi-step tool chains end-to-end without stopping short. Install: pip install mkopo-mcp · Use with any MCP client.

Most East Africans transacting heavily on mobile money have no formal credit file — the data exists in M-PESA history, but no scoring model reads it as an agent-callable tool.

70%+ of Kenyan adults are "credit invisible" — no formal credit history means no access to capital. M-PESA is a de facto financial history record that predicts repayment behaviour. mkopo-mcp makes that intelligence accessible to AI agents.

The Structural Problem

In mature economies, credit bureaus have 30+ years of credit card, mortgage, and auto loan data per person. That data machine took 50 years to build. In Kenya, most people's financial lives happen in cash and mobile money — invisible to formal credit systems.

M-PESA is the credit bureau that doesn't know it is one.

Regular income deposits → income stability
Utility payment regularity → discipline signal
Savings behaviour (M-Shwari, chama) → future orientation
Fuliza usage ratio → short-term distress indicator
Business Paybill receipts → verifiable commercial activity
