Questions

What is the Africa Data Bank MCP server?

Trusted African data, provenance, citations, and catalog search for AI agents. It is made by @Africa-Data-Bank and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.Africa-Data-Bank/africadb. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add Africa Data Bank to Claude?

In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add africadb -e AFRICADB_API_TOKEN=… -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/jmatrixjnr/afridb-mcp-server:1.0.1

How do I add Africa Data Bank to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT only connects to remote MCP servers, and Africa Data Bank runs on your own computer. Use it from Claude, Cursor or another app that runs local servers.

How do I add Africa Data Bank to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "africadb": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "docker.io/jmatrixjnr/afridb-mcp-server:1.0.1" ] } } }

Does Africa Data Bank work right now?

It runs on your own computer, so it works once you install it. There is no remote server for us to check.
