Compare remittance corridors to Kenya (US, UK, Canada) on synthetic prices. Demonstration only.
io.github.gabrielmahia/remit-mcp is an MCP server package named remit-mcp. Its published description focuses on Remittance corridor fees. The server is listed with support for the model context protocol (MCP) ecosystem and topics including Africa, diaspora, Kenya, remittance, and Python.
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 remit-mcp · Use with any MCP client.
Remittance corridor fees to East Africa often run well above the UN SDG 10.c target of 3% by 2030 — but comparing corridors requires checking each provider manually.

Research Basis
World Bank Remittance Prices Worldwide is the database to check real corridor costs against (SDG 10.c target: 3% by 2030). This server's corridor prices are synthetic and are not World Bank figures.
Central Bank of Kenya: Kenya received USD 4.94 billion in remittances in calendar 2024 (USD 4.18 billion in 2023), reported by Business Daily; a record USD 5.08 billion in FY2024/25; the CBK's own release puts 2024 at Ksh 666.7 billion, about 4% of GDP. (An earlier version of this README said USD 4.2 billion for 2024, which was the 2023 level.)
Context: PAPSS and Pesalink (2026), not modelled here
In February 2026 Kenya's Pesalink instant-payment network linked to the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), so that PAPSS participants can send into Kenyan banks and mobile-money wallets in local currency (source: PAPSS and Pesalink announcements, 26 Feb 2026). This server compares US, UK and Canada corridors only; it does not model intra-African or PAPSS routes.
DEMO Note
Current data is synthetic, representative of World Bank RPW Kenya corridor patterns.
