nishati-mcp

Why This Exists

Getting connected to power in Kenya — or deciding between grid and off-grid solar — depends on tariff bands, connection procedures and subsidy programmes that are difficult to compare side by side. Energy access decisions are long-lived and expensive to reverse, so the comparison matters more than the brochure.

Install

pip install nishati-mcp

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nishati-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "nishati_mcp.server"]
    }
  }

Data & Disclaimers

Tariffs are set by EPRA and revised periodically. Treat calculations as indicative and confirm current rates with KPLC or epra.go.ke before relying on them.

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

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