About
💳 mkopo-mcp — Alternative Credit Scoring MCP Server
Security Report
mkopo-mcp is a well-designed MCP server for alternative credit scoring in Kenya with strong security posture. The codebase demonstrates good authentication/authorization patterns (read-only tools with appropriate disclaimers), no malicious patterns, proper input validation, and permissions tightly scoped to the server's purpose. Minor code quality observations (broad exception handling, logging of personal data fields) do not materially impact security. The demo/educational nature of the scoring is clearly disclosed throughout. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

💳 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
