6 weeks later: mpesa-mcp is on the official MCP Registry — here's what I learned

Follow-up to: Why M-Pesa, Africa's Talking, and USSD are missing from AI agent tooling Six weeks ago I published mpesa-mcp — an MCP server that gives AI agents access to M-Pesa Daraja and Africa's Talking. Here's what actually happened. What landed Official MCP Registry. mpesa-mcp is now listed at io.github.gabrielmahia/mpesa-mcp on registry.modelcontextprotocol.io . This is Anthropic's official registry — the one Claude uses to discover MCP servers. It's the first African fintech entry. # Install via the registry uvx mpesa-mcp punkpeye opened a PR on my repo. punkpeye is the maintainer of awesome-mcp-servers (82k stars). He submitted a PR to add the Glama card badge to the mpesa-mcp README. That's the maintainer of the most-starred MCP directory directly contributing to the project — a signal I did not expect. v0.1.2 shipped. Changelog: Fixed a unicode character in glama.json that was causing Glama to reject the file as invalid Cleaned up the Dockerfile for proper MCP server inspectio
