About Wycord
The intelligence layer for African digital infrastructure.
The verified, machine-readable index of African APIs, MCP servers, datasets and AI infrastructure — built for developers and the agents they build.
Vision
Wycord is not an API directory. It is the discovery, intelligence and interoperability layer for African digital infrastructure: the place where every digital building block on the continent becomes discoverable, understandable and usable, for developers, AI agents, enterprises, researchers and governments. The directory is only the first interface. The long-term asset is the data.
Mission
Help anyone building software or AI in Africa discover the infrastructure they need. From a single platform.
Google indexes websites.
GitHub indexes code.
Hugging Face indexes AI models.
Crunchbase indexes companies.
Wycord indexes African digital infrastructure.
Why it exists
Building with African infrastructure means hunting across scattered blog posts, dead documentation and half-maintained SDKs to answer simple questions: which payment API actually works, which dataset is current, which KYC provider needs a licence. The information exists, but it is fragmented and rarely verified.
Wycord pulls it into one place and holds it to a standard. A developer searching for a payment API finds one that is documented and live. A foreign founder can understand the rails (payments, identity, licensing) before committing to a market. An AI agent gets clean, structured JSON it can build on.
Status-verified, not just listed
Most directories list a link and move on. Wycord checks the thing. Every resource has its documentation, licensing and live status actually verified, and we flag what is broken, gated or shut down so you find out before you integrate, not after.
Pan-African, Nigeria-deep
Nigeria is live and verified the deepest today. The brand, data model and infrastructure are pan-African from day one, and more countries are rolling out. Resources are tagged by country so coverage stays honest as it grows.
Readable by humans, queryable by agents
The same registry that people browse is exposed over a clean, CORS-open JSON API. AI agents can query it and reason over structured data with no scraping, which makes Wycord usable inside the products people build with it.
A map, not a list
Wycord spans APIs, MCP servers, datasets, tools and AI resources, and maps the relationships between them: which MCP server wraps which API, which tool implements which spec, which provider acquired which. The connections are part of the value.
How verification works
- 1. Source. Each resource is found from official providers, public registries, package indexes and open data portals, never invented.
- 2. Check. Its website, documentation and repository are opened and confirmed live. The real status is recorded: live, broken, gated, redirected or shut down.
- 3. Flag. Licensing is captured (open, approval required, institutional, paid) so you know the cost of entry up front.
- 4. Connect. Where a resource wraps, implements or replaces another, that relationship is recorded and surfaced.
