# Wycord

> Infrastructure intelligence for Africa.

The verified, machine-readable index of African APIs, MCP servers, datasets and AI infrastructure — built for developers and the agents they build.

Wycord is a status-verified registry: every resource's documentation, licensing and
live status is actually checked, not just listed. 369 verified resources across
9 categories and 20 African countries.

## For AI agents: query the registry as JSON

The entire registry is available as a clean, CORS-open JSON API (GET only). No scraping needed.

- All resources: https://wycord.com/api/resources
- Search: https://wycord.com/api/resources?q=payment
- By category: https://wycord.com/api/resources?category=apis (apis | mcp | datasets | tools | ai | agents | sdks | oss | research)
- By country: https://wycord.com/api/resources?country=NG (accepts code or name, e.g. NG, KE, Nigeria)
- Combine: https://wycord.com/api/resources?country=KE&category=apis
- Pagination: &page=1&pageSize=24 (pageSize max 60; the registry is ~369 resources)
- OpenAPI 3.1 contract: https://wycord.com/openapi.json
- Unknown category or country values return HTTP 400 with the valid set, so you can self-correct.

## MCP server (for agent runtimes)

Wycord ships a Model Context Protocol server so agents can query the registry as tools:
  claude mcp add --transport http wycord https://wycord.com/api/mcp
Tools: search_resources, get_resource, list_categories, list_countries.

Each resource includes: name, slug, description, category, subcategory, website,
documentation_url, github_url, pricing, verified, country, docs_status
(LIVE | BROKEN | UNAVAILABLE | REDIRECT | SHUT_DOWN), licensing_required, tags,
company (the organization behind it: name, slug, country, type, url), and url.

## Companies and Intelligence

- Companies: https://wycord.com/companies — the organizations behind the resources (the
  knowledge-graph trunk). Each resource links to the company that operates it.
- Wycord Intelligence: https://wycord.com/intelligence — indexes generated from the registry.
  African MCP Adoption Index: https://wycord.com/intelligence/mcp-adoption.
