africa
africa_scams.check_message
Use this when someone in Kenya or Nigeria shares a text, a WhatsApp message, an email or an account of a phone call about mobile money, a bank, a prize, a job, an investment, a loan or a request for money, and wants to know which known fraud patterns it resembles. It returns the patterns the wording resembles, what the bodies that describe them say to do, and where to report, each with its source. It does not judge the message: say so, and never tell someone a message is fine because nothing matched. Do not use it for other countries, for legal advice, or to decide whether to pay. Leave any PIN, password or one-time code out of what you pass to it.
africa_scams.list_patterns
Use this when someone asks which frauds the banks, mobile networks and public bodies of Kenya or Nigeria have described, or how a named one works (for example a fake reversal instruction, a one-ring call from abroad, or a message about your BVN). Do not use it for other countries, and do not present the list as complete: it covers patterns that were found described on the bodies' own pages. Do not use it to decide whether a message is fine.
africa_scams.where_to_report
Use this when someone in Kenya or Nigeria asks where to report fraud on a phone, a bank account or mobile money, or what the banks and authorities say to do after money or details have gone to a fraudster. It gives the reporting channels the bodies publish and the steps they give, each with its source. Do not use it for other countries or for legal advice, do not suggest that money will be recovered, and leave any PIN, password or one-time code out of what you pass to it.

Africa Scam Check — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Africa Scam Check do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: africa_scams.check_message, africa_scams.list_patterns, africa_scams.where_to_report. 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 Africa Scam Check working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 16 of 16 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 545 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Africa Scam Check?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Africa Scam Check need an API key?
No. Africa Scam Check completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Africa Scam Check?
It answers our handshake in 545 ms on average, which is faster than 20% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
