Install: pip install remit-mcp · Use with any MCP client.

Remittance corridor fees to East Africa often run well above the UN SDG 10.c target of 3% by 2030 — but comparing corridors requires checking each provider manually.

pip install remit-mcp

Research Basis

  • World Bank Remittance Prices Worldwide is the database to check real corridor costs against (SDG 10.c target: 3% by 2030). This server's corridor prices are synthetic and are not World Bank figures.
  • Central Bank of Kenya: Kenya received USD 4.94 billion in remittances in calendar 2024 (USD 4.18 billion in 2023), reported by Business Daily; a record USD 5.08 billion in FY2024/25; the CBK's own release puts 2024 at Ksh 666.7 billion, about 4% of GDP. (An earlier version of this README said USD 4.2 billion for 2024, which was the 2023 level.)

In February 2026 Kenya's Pesalink instant-payment network linked to the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), so that PAPSS participants can send into Kenyan banks and mobile-money wallets in local currency (source: PAPSS and Pesalink announcements, 26 Feb 2026). This server compares US, UK and Canada corridors only; it does not model intra-African or PAPSS routes.

DEMO Note

Current data is synthetic, representative of World Bank RPW Kenya corridor patterns. Real implementation queries: remittanceprices.worldbank.org API + live FX feeds.
