Every African API.

Which agent do you use?

/plugin marketplace add afrotools/afrotools
/plugin install afrotools

MCP server only: claude mcp add --transport http afrotools https://mcp.afro.tools/mcp

Run inside Claude Code. The plugin adds the MCP server plus the payment, sms and debug skills.

Try it: ask your agent "Integrate Paycard payment in my Next.js app"

How it works

From spec to working integration in minutes, not days.

  1. 01

    Structured specs

    Every African API is described in a machine-readable JSON schema — endpoints, auth, input & response shapes, and the gotchas the docs leave out.

  2. 02

    Your AI agent reads the spec

    Through the afrotools plugin or MCP server, your agent pulls the exact spec for the capability it needs — like the Flutterwave charge shown here.

  3. 03

    Your app works

    The agent writes the integration code. You review, ship, and move on. No more deciphering incomplete docs.

gotchas · 11

  • Successful creation returns HTTP 201, not 200. Treat both as success when reading response.ok.
  • X-Trace-Id is REQUIRED on this endpoint (12-255 chars). Omitting it will return a 400 validation error — generate a fresh UUID per request and forward it through any retries.

How a capability moves through the registry

Available141 capabilities
Spec written and validated — endpoints, auth, schemas and at least one gotcha. Agents can integrate it right away.
Verified9 capabilities
A working example exists in afrotools/examples and a maintainer has checked it.
Gotchas stay public
Providers can't pay to edit or remove them. That honesty is why developers trust the specs.
