Why This Exists

East African history is well documented but poorly structured for machines — timelines, independence-era figures, heritage sites and oral history sit in prose across archives. Making it queryable is what lets it be taught, cited and built on.

Install

pip install historia-mcp

Data & Disclaimers

Historical reference material compiled from public sources. Oral history in particular carries contested interpretations; treat entries as a starting point for research, not a settled account.

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.
