MCP server giving AI agents real-time access to Kenya's water stress and drought data — all 47 counties, NDMA drought phase classifications, and SMS alert capability via Africa's Talking.

What it does

WapiMaji MCP exposes Kenya drought and water stress data as MCP tools. Any Claude, GPT-4, or MCP-compatible AI agent can now:

• Query live drought phase data for any of Kenya's 47 counties
• Get water stress indices from NDMA drought monitor
• Send SMS alerts to farmers via Africa's Talking when drought levels spike

One-prompt examples:

"What is the current drought phase in Marsabit County?"
→ Gets NDMA Phase 3 classification + rainfall deficit data

"Which counties are in drought emergency right now?"
→ Returns all counties at Phase 3+ with population affected

"SMS these 500 Garissa farmers: drought phase has escalated to 3"
→ Sends alerts via Africa's Talking across Safaricom + Airtel

Tools

Tool	Type	Description
get_drought_status	Read-only	Current NDMA drought phase for a county
get_county_water_stress	Read-only	Water stress index, rainfall deficit, river levels
get_drought_alerts	Read-only	All counties at or above a given drought phase
sms_drought_alert	Destructive	Send drought alert SMS via Africa's Talking

Data Sources

This server draws on open and public domain datasets for drought intelligence:

Open Government Data (Public Domain)

• NASA MODIS NDVI — vegetation index for drought early warning
• NOAA CHIRPS — daily rainfall estimates (0.05° resolution)
• NASA TRMM — monthly precipitation
• USDA FEWS NET — East Africa livelihood zones

Historical Baseline Data (Public Domain)

• East Africa Meteorological Records 1900-1940 (colonial era, PD)
• Kew Gardens East Africa Survey 1910 (botanical PD)

These are structured in africa-open-climate-data and east-africa-agricultural-pd.

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
