Sommaire
Mansa African Financial Reference Data — MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol server giving any MCP-capable agent live access to African financial reference data: bank and SWIFT/BIC codes, NUBAN account resolution, mobile network lookup, public holidays, and ISO 4217 currencies.
Hosted and maintained by Mansa API. No API key required.
Connect
Streamable HTTP endpoint:
https://mansaapi.com/api/mcp

}
Anything else
Point your MCP client at the URL above. The server speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP and is
stateless, so no session handling is required. A plain GET returns the server descriptor.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
lookup_bank | Identify an African bank from a name, bank/sort code, SWIFT/BIC or USSD shortcode. Works as a reverse lookup — pass a bare code like NLCBTZTX and get the institution back. |
list_banks | Every bank held for a country, with codes and mobile-money flag. |
resolve_nuban | Which Nigerian banks a 10-digit NUBAN account number is checksum-valid for. Typically narrows ~30 banks to ~3. |
lookup_phone_network | Resolve an African phone number to its mobile network operator. |
get_public_holidays | Public holidays for a country and year. English by default, with lang for local languages. |
get_currency | ISO 4217 record: code, name, symbol, decimal places, and every country using it. |
Coverage
Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Zambia and Tanzania for banks and mobile networks; holidays and currencies span the wider continent.
Worth knowing
resolve_nuban confirms checksum validity only. The CBN NUBAN check digit is derived from the
bank code plus the first nine digits of the account number, so testing a number against every bank
code narrows down where it could be held — without contacting any bank.
It does not confirm that an account exists, and it never returns an account holder's name. That requires a licensed NIBSS account-name enquiry.
