Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account gabrielmahia for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local demo MCP server that compares synthetic remittance corridor prices to Kenya and adds live exchange-rate and World Bank inflow data.

What you can do: Compare providers across the US→KE, UK→KE and CA→KE corridors and list supported corridors
Estimate annual savings from switching providers
Fetch today's reference exchange rate to KES with an optional conversion
Retrieve Kenya's yearly personal remittance inflows in US dollars and as a share of GDP
When to use it: Useful for exploring what a remittance-comparison assistant could look like, or for pulling live KES reference rates and World Bank remittance-inflow figures for Kenya. Not suitable for real cost comparisons or operational decisions, since corridor prices are synthetic.
Requirements: Python with pip; install the remit-mcp package and run it as a local stdio process. The two live tools need network access to a free exchange-rate endpoint and the World Bank indicators service. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared.

Before you install

Corridor prices are synthetic demo data, not World Bank figures, and the README states they are not suitable for operational decisions. The live tools send queries to third-party services (an exchange-rate API and World Bank data) and return an error rather than a number when those fail. Only US, UK and Canada corridors are covered; intra-African and PAPSS routes are not modelled.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Remit 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.

Install: pip install remit-mcp · Use with any MCP client.

Remittance corridor fees to East Africa often run well above the UN SDG 10.c target of 3% by 2030 — but comparing corridors requires checking each provider manually.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`compare_remittance_corridors`	Compare all providers for US→KE, UK→KE, CA→KE corridors
`estimate_savings`	Calculate annual savings by switching providers
`list_corridors`	List all supported corridors
`live_exchange_rate`	LIVE: today's reference rate to KES (and an optional conversion) from the free ExchangeRate-API open endpoint
`kenya_remittance_inflows`	LIVE: Kenya's personal remittance inflows by year (US$ and % of GDP) from the World Bank, CC BY 4.0

Research Basis

World Bank Remittance Prices Worldwide is the database to check real corridor costs against (SDG 10.c target: 3% by 2030). This server's corridor prices are synthetic and are not World Bank figures.
Central Bank of Kenya: Kenya received USD 4.94 billion in remittances in calendar 2024 (USD 4.18 billion in 2023), reported by Business Daily; a record USD 5.08 billion in FY2024/25; the CBK's own release puts 2024 at Ksh 666.7 billion, about 4% of GDP. (An earlier version of this README said USD 4.2 billion for 2024, which was the 2023 level.)

Context: PAPSS and Pesalink (2026), not modelled here

In February 2026 Kenya's Pesalink instant-payment network linked to the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), so that PAPSS participants can send into Kenyan banks and mobile-money wallets in local currency (source: PAPSS and Pesalink announcements, 26 Feb 2026). This server compares US, UK and Canada corridors only; it does not model intra-African or PAPSS routes.

Live data

Two tools query free live services and label every answer with its source and retrieval time; if a service does not answer, they return an error instead of a number. Rates By Exchange Rate API (https://www.exchangerate-api.com); World Bank World Development Indicators, CC BY 4.0. The corridor pricing tools still use synthetic data (below).

DEMO Note

Current data is synthetic, representative of World Bank RPW Kenya corridor patterns. Real implementation queries: remittanceprices.worldbank.org API + live FX feeds.
