Details
From the project READMEeSIM Kenya MCP Server
A read-only MCP server exposing live eSIM provider, plan, pricing, and coverage data for Kenya from esimkenya.com. It lets AI assistants answer questions like "what's the best eSIM for Kenya / Maasai Mara / Nairobi" with current data instead of stale scraped content, and hand back a ready affiliate link.
Live endpoint: https://mcp.esimkenya.com/mcp
Also listed in the official MCP Registry as com.esimkenya/mcp.
Tools
list_esim_providers— search/filter providers by Kenya destination, badge, safari coverage, rating, or price. Optionally enriches results with park-level coverage notes.get_esim_provider— full detail and plan tiers for a single provider by slug.compare_esim_providers— returns esimkenya.com's curated head-to-head verdict for a pair of providers when one exists, otherwise both providers' full details side by side.
Every provider response includes an affiliate_link (https://esimkenya.com/go/{slug}).
Stack
McpServer + WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport from @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, running stateless in a Cloudflare Worker fetch handler — no Durable Object needed since every request is independent. Data comes from the same Supabase project as the main site, read via the public anon key (RLS-gated; no write access, no service-role key).
Development
npm install
npm run dev # wrangler dev, serves at http://localhost:8787
npm run typecheck
Smoke test with the MCP Inspector:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@latest
# connect via Streamable HTTP to http://localhost:8787/mcp
Deployment
npm run deploy # wrangler deploy
Requires SUPABASE_URL / SUPABASE_ANON_KEY (set in wrangler.toml [vars] — safe to commit, this is the anon key already shipped in the main site's browser bundle and gated by RLS).

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
