Guides for Kenyans abroad: citizenship, taxes, investment, document verification. Not legal advice.
Overview
Local MCP server giving assistants orientation guides for Kenyans abroad on dual citizenship, diaspora taxes, homeland investment, document verification and…
- What you can do
- Look up dual citizenship eligibility, process, documents and pitfalls by current citizenship
- Get diaspora tax orientation by country of residence and immigration status guidance
- Explore Kenya homeland investment options by budget and community guides by country
- Check document verification guidance by document type
- Fetch today's reference exchange rate to KES with an optional conversion
- When to use it
- Useful when someone is weighing a move, dual citizenship, property purchase or tax questions involving Kenya and another country and wants a starting orientation before consulting professionals. Not a substitute for an advocate or tax adviser.
- Requirements
- Python with the diaspora-mcp package installed locally (pip install diaspora-mcp), launched over stdio, for example from a Claude Desktop config. The live exchange rate tool needs network access to the ExchangeRate-API open endpoint. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Diaspora Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
Other MCP clients
Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Why This Exists
Kenyans abroad navigate dual citizenship, diaspora taxation, property purchase and document verification across two legal systems at once, usually with advice that is out of date or second-hand. The cost of getting it wrong is measured in years, not shillings.

Data & Disclaimers
Immigration, tax and property rules change and interact with the law of your country of residence. This is orientation, not legal or tax advice — confirm with an advocate and a qualified tax adviser.
Every tool response carries a source field. Responses labelled DEMO are
illustrative reference data, not a live feed — verify against the authority
named in the response before acting on it.
Live data
live_exchange_rate: today's reference rate to KES (and an optional conversion), from the ExchangeRate-API open endpoint (attribution: Rates By Exchange Rate API).
Each live answer names its source, attribution and retrieval time; if a service does not answer, the tool returns an error instead of a number. The other tools are unchanged.

Score
50% of the applicable checks met
How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
- Reached in the last 30 days25 pts
Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.
- Auth declared10 pts
Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
