💧 WapiMaji MCP — Kenya Water & Drought Intelligence

MCP server giving AI agents real-time access to Kenya's water stress and drought data — all 47 counties, NDMA drought phase classifications, and SMS alert capability via Africa's Talking.

What it does

WapiMaji MCP exposes Kenya drought and water stress data as MCP tools. Any Claude, GPT-4, or MCP-compatible AI agent can now:

• Query live drought phase data for any of Kenya's 47 counties
• Get water stress indices from NDMA drought monitor
• Send SMS alerts to farmers via Africa's Talking when drought levels spike

One-prompt examples:

"What is the current drought phase in Marsabit County?"
→ Gets NDMA Phase 3 classification + rainfall deficit data

"Which counties are in drought emergency right now?"
→ Returns all counties at Phase 3+ with population affected

"SMS these 500 Garissa farmers: drought phase has escalated to 3"
→ Sends alerts via Africa's Talking across Safaricom + Airtel
