Why This Exists

Kenya publishes gazette notices, tenders, parliamentary activity and open data continuously, but the volume makes it effectively invisible. Accountability depends on being able to find the one notice that matters, not on everything being technically public.

Install

pip install habari-mcp

Tools (5)

  • gazette_search —
    args: search_type, date_range
  • tender_search_guide —
    args: sector, county
  • open_data_guide —
    args: data_type
  • parliament_tracker —
    args: query_type
  • citizen_feedback_channels —
    args: issue_type

Example

from habari_mcp.server import gazette_guide

result = gazette_guide()
# what the Gazette publishes, how to search, why it matters

{
  "mcpServers": {

    }
  }
}

Data & Disclaimers

Pointers to official sources rather than a live mirror. For legal effect, always read the notice in the Kenya Gazette itself.

Every tool response carries a source field. Responses labelled DEMO are illustrative reference data, not a live feed — verify against the authority named in the response before acting on it.

Part of the East Africa Coordination Stack

This MCP server is part of 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

All servers: pypi.org/user/gmahia Live demo: coord-cascade-demo

IP & Collaboration

MIT licensed. Feedback via GitHub Issues only — pull requests are not accepted. Demo data is labeled DEMO and is not suitable for operational decisions. Full policy: docs/architecture/IP_POLICY.md. Security reports: see SECURITY.md.

Part of the East Africa coordination stack

Model-agnostic by design: closed APIs, open-weight models, and small distilled models are all first-class citizens.
