01
Browse by category
The building blocks of African AI-product infrastructure.
02
Built for everyone shipping in Africa
One source of truth, four very different readers.
Developers
Find the payment, KYC or data API you need, and see if its docs actually work before you integrate.
Foreign founders
Understand the rails, payments, identity, licensing, before committing to an African market.
Investors
A live map of the stack: what exists, what's licensed, and where the white space is.
AI agents
Query the open JSON API and reason over clean, structured, machine-readable data.
03
More than a directory
The surfaces built on top of the registry. Scroll through, or drag.
04
Machine-readable, not just browsable
The same registry humans read, agents can query. No scraping, no guessing.
Every resource carries its live status, licensing flag and last-verified date. Half of Africa's “available” infrastructure is a graveyard, docs that 403, endpoints that 502, companies that quietly shut down. Wycord checks, so you find out before you integrate, not after.
- Open JSON API, no key required to read
- An MCP server, so agents can call the registry directly
- llms.txt + OpenAPI, machine-readable by default

Plug the African stack into any model
A model in San Francisco cannot find African infrastructure, and cannot tell what still works. Wycord is the layer in between.

Status-verified, licensing flagged.
One MCP server and one open REST API, backed by a registry where every entry has been checked. Point Claude, GPT, Gemini or any agent framework at it and the whole African stack becomes callable, with its live status and licensing attached, so the model knows what it can actually use.
- search_resources, get_resource, list_categories, list_countries
- Works over MCP, or plain HTTP if the model has no MCP client
- No key required to read. CORS open. llms.txt for anything else

Featured resources
Hand-picked, verified, battle-tested by Nigerian builders.
Flutterwave
Pan-African payment processor with the broadest SDK coverage (13 languages) and international remittance support. Acquired Mono in Jan 2026.
GDP/CPI time-series (World Bank API)
Free, no-auth JSON API for Nigerian macro time-series: GDP, CPI inflation, FDI, remittances, employment and more. The best developer-accessible source for Nigerian economic data.
LGA Boundaries (GRID3)
Authoritative, OSGOF-backed LGA boundary polygons for all 36 states plus FCT (Dec 2020) in GeoJSON/SHP, no auth required.
M-Pesa Daraja (Safaricom)
Safaricom's official Daraja 3.0 developer portal exposing the M-Pesa APIs (STK Push/Lipa Na M-Pesa, C2B, B2C, B2B, transaction status, account balance) for Kenya, the largest mobile-money network in Africa. Requires a registered developer account with sandbox testing before live credentials.
Mono
Open-banking data-access provider for account, identity and transaction data, with KYB tooling. Acquired by Flutterwave in Jan 2026 but still operates independently. Ships a dev sandbox Docker image.
NaijaML
Production-ready NLP library (v0.2.1, Mar 2026) covering all 4 Nigerian languages, running in 4GB RAM with no GPU, with PII masking for NIN/phone. The most practical Nigerian AI resource for developers.

Questions, answered
What Wycord is, and how it works.
What is Wycord?
A status-verified hub to find the APIs, MCP servers, datasets, developer tools and AI agent skills you need to build AI products in Africa, readable by humans, queryable by agents.
Which countries does Wycord cover?
Nigeria is live and deeply verified today. More African countries are rolling out, the brand and data model are built pan-African from day one.
What does “status-verified” mean?
Every resource's docs, licensing and live status are actually checked, not just listed. We link to official sources and flag what's broken, parked or licensed.
Is there an API for AI agents?
Yes. Every resource is exposed over a clean, CORS-open JSON API, so agents can query the registry and reason over clean, structured data, no scraping.
How is this different from an API directory?
Most directories are APIs-only. Wycord spans APIs, MCP servers, datasets, tools and AI skills, maps the relationships between them, and stays machine-readable.
How do I add or update a resource?
Submit it from the Submit page. Verified entries are added to the registry; updates and corrections are welcome.

Machine-readable .
Every resource is exposed over a clean, CORS-open JSON API. Point your agent at it and let it reason over the African stack, no scraping, no guesswork.
