Kenya drought-response toolkit: simulated drought phases, confirmed SMS alerts, coordination events
What can you do with io.github.gabrielmahia/wapimaji-mcp?
- Simulated drought phases for the 47 counties. Values are generated from the county name so downstream flows can be built and tested. They are not observations and not NDMA data; every answer says
"synthetic": true. Never use them for decisions. - No real data source is integrated. With
SANDBOX=falsethe status tools return an explicit "not implemented, status unknown" error. NDMA publishes drought phases as periodic bulletins; FEWS NET and IPC publish food-security classifications through APIs... - SMS alerts through Africa's Talking: simulated by default (
sent: false); a live send needsSANDBOX=falseandconfirm_send=true. - Coordination: publish a drought event so downstream MCP servers (insurance, agriculture advisory, health, county alerts) can react.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

Install: pip install wapimaji-mcp · Use with any MCP client.
A Kenya drought-response toolkit for AI agents: simulated county drought phases (no real NDMA data is integrated yet), SMS alerts through Africa's Talking that need explicit confirmation, and drought events published to the coordination bus.
What it does, and does not
- Simulated drought phases for the 47 counties. Values are generated from the county name so downstream flows can be built and tested. They are not observations and not NDMA data; every answer says
"synthetic": true. Never use them for decisions. - No real data source is integrated. With
SANDBOX=falsethe status tools return an explicit "not implemented, status unknown" error. NDMA publishes drought phases as periodic bulletins; FEWS NET and IPC publish food-security classifications through APIs that were slow or unverified when checked on 2026-10-07. Integrating one is the next step. - SMS alerts through Africa's Talking: simulated by default (
sent: false); a live send needsSANDBOX=falseandconfirm_send=true. - Coordination: publish a drought event so downstream MCP servers (insurance, agriculture advisory, health, county alerts) can react.
Tools
| Tool | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
get_drought_status | Read-only, simulated | A simulated drought phase for one county, labelled synthetic |
get_drought_alerts | Read-only, simulated | Simulated list of counties at or above a phase |
sms_drought_alert | Sends SMS | Send a drought alert SMS via Africa's Talking (needs confirm_send=true in live mode) |
publish_drought_coordination | Writes an event | Publish a drought coordination event for downstream servers |

Data sources
Runtime safety and data limits
SANDBOX=true (the default) uses simulated county drought values, including
aggregate alerts. These values are not observations from NDMA. Live aggregate
alerts are not implemented and return an explicit error with unknown status.
SMS calls in sandbox return sent: false without contacting Africa's Talking.
Live SMS requires both SANDBOX=false and confirm_send=true, supplied only after
the user explicitly confirms that send. Provider acceptance does not establish
delivery to the recipient.
No real data source is integrated. Earlier versions listed NDMA, the Kenya Meteorological Department and FEWS NET here; the code never used them.

Related datasets
Earlier versions said this server draws on NASA MODIS NDVI, NOAA CHIRPS, TRMM and FEWS NET; it does not read any of them. The Hugging Face datasets africa-open-climate-data and east-africa-agricultural-pd are separate resources.
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.
