Details
From the project README🇮🇳 India MCP
Collection of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for Indian APIs and services. Enable AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and OpenCode to operate natively in the Indian market with real-time data and specialized tools.
🇮🇳 Why India-MCP?
Indian digital infrastructure is powerful but fragmented. Many government and enterprise portals are:
- Unstable: Intermittent downtime and slow response times.
- Protected: Require specific headers and session management.
- Inconsistent: Varying data formats (HTML, JSON, XML).
India-MCP provides a unified, resilient, and AI-optimized layer over these services, enabling agents to verify identities, track logistics, analyze markets, and navigate the legal system with a single protocol.
🚀 Features
- Production Grade: Hardened servers with retry logic, request timeouts, and in-memory TTL caching.
- Resilient Data: Intelligent fallback strategies (e.g., NSE → Yahoo Finance) for maximum availability.
- Privacy First: Browser-compliant headers and respectful API usage patterns.
- Developer Friendly: Clean JSON-RPC interfaces and normalized tool responses.
- Unified Ecosystem: Shared utilities for banking, legal, and market data.

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.
