Connect once · your AI tools answer from the register

Your AI assistant, answering from the official registers

Connect Afriset once, and your team's AI tools — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client — answer African fintech licensing questions from the official regulator registers, with the source and the date, instead of guessing. Takes about a minute to add.

For example, ask Claude:

"Who can issue e-money in Ghana, and what capital does it take?"

The answer comes straight from the Bank of Ghana register and the published licence requirements — each with its official source and as-of date. No copy-paste, no stale PDF, no guess.

Add it — about a minute

  1. 1

    In Claude (web or desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste this URL:

    https://mcp.afriset.com/mcp

    That's it — Claude can now answer from the register.

  2. 2

    In Claude Code: one line —

    claude mcp add --transport http afriset https://mcp.afriset.com/mcp

Developer reference

Endpoint https://mcp.afriset.com/mcp (streamable HTTP) — remote, authless, read-only. Four tools; every response carries the official source, the as-of date, and a source-recency signal.

list_licensed(activity, jurisdiction?)

Who holds the licence for a canonical activity, per the official register — with each provider's local licence category, status as reported, and provenance. 

{"activity": "EMONEY_ISSUE", "jurisdiction": "Ghana"}

map_license(activity, from, to)

The cross-country normalization: which local licence category is the equivalent in another market ("a Nigerian MMO ≈ a Ghanaian DEMI ≈ a Kenyan E-Money Issuer"). 

{"activity": "REMITTANCE_XBORDER", "from": "NG", "to": "ZA"}

requirements(activity?, jurisdiction?, category?)

The licence requirements to hold it — minimum capital, local presence, timeline, local ownership, fees, ongoing obligations — as published, in the statute's own currency. Honest states are distinct: published value · documented absence (structural vs not-published) · located-but-unverified (a value was found but not yet verified, so it isn't published). Verbatim quote per value in format:"full". 

{"category": "NG-CBN-MMO", "format": "full"}

cross_border_rules(jurisdiction?, topic?, facet?, activity?, direction?, format?)

The cross-border rulebook — what money may move across a market's border and under what rule: export-proceeds repatriation windows, licensed-channel and approval requirements, cash-declaration thresholds, travel allowances, outward-capital restrictions, remittance-operator scope and investor transfer rights — normalized across markets. Honest states are distinct: published rule · documented absence (structural vs not-published) · located-but-unverified. Rules, not rates — never an exchange rate. format:"compare" returns one facet across markets side-by-side. 

{"facet": "EXPORT_PROCEEDS_REPATRIATION", "format": "compare"}
