Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

lookup

lookup_bank

Identify an African bank from any identifier you hold: its name, domestic sort/bank code, SWIFT/BIC code, or USSD shortcode. Works as a reverse lookup, so pass a bare SWIFT code like 'NLCBTZTX' to find out which institution it belongs to. Returns the bank's name, country, type, bank code, SWIFT/BIC, USSD shortcode and whether it supports mobile money.

lookup_phone_network

Resolve an African phone number to its mobile network operator from the number's prefix. Accepts local or international format. Useful for routing a mobile-money payout to the right provider or validating a number before sending an OTP.

banks

list_banks

List every bank and financial institution held for a country, with its bank code, SWIFT/BIC, USSD shortcode and mobile-money flag. Use this to build a bank picker or to reconcile a list of institutions.

currency

get_currency

Return the ISO 4217 record for a currency: its code, name, symbol, how many decimal places it uses, and every country that uses it.

public

get_public_holidays

Return the public holidays for a country and calendar year, with each holiday's date, name and type. Names are returned in English wherever the country publishes it; pass a language code for others (Kenya also publishes Swahili).

resolve

resolve_nuban

Work out which Nigerian banks a 10-digit NUBAN account number could belong to. The CBN check digit is computed from the bank code plus the first nine digits, so testing the number against every bank code narrows a shortlist without contacting any bank. Typically reduces ~30 banks to ~3. This confirms checksum validity only: it does NOT confirm the account exists, and it never returns the account holder's name, which requires a licensed NIBSS account-name enquiry.

Mansa African Financial Reference Data — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Mansa African Financial Reference Data do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_currency, get_public_holidays, list_banks, lookup_bank, lookup_phone_network, resolve_nuban. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Mansa African Financial Reference Data working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 248 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Mansa African Financial Reference Data?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Mansa African Financial Reference Data need an API key?

No. Mansa African Financial Reference Data completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Mansa African Financial Reference Data?

It answers our handshake in 248 ms on average, which is faster than 58% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Mansa African Financial Reference Data open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
