What is the Kazi MCP server?

Kazi MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. kazi-mcp.

What you get

MCP server for Kenya labor market coordination — job matching, wage benchmarks, skills gap analysis, informal sector registration, contract templates, and Kenya Employment Act rights. Part of the East Africa coordination infrastructure suite.

What the assistant can call

Once Kazi is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • job_match — Match worker skills to available job categories
  • wage_benchmark — Monthly wage ranges (entry/mid/senior) by job and county
  • skills_gap_analysis — Gap analysis + training pathways for target roles
  • informal_sector_registry — Register/lookup jua kali and informal workers
  • contract_template — Employment Act 2007-aligned contract templates
  • labor_rights_query — Kenya Employment Act rights by topic

Setting it up

The server ships on PyPI as kazi-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Choosing this one

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Kazi's toolset — job_match, wage_benchmark, skills_gap_analysis and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by gabrielmahia; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the kazi mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Kazi to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (job_match, wage_benchmark, skills_gap_analysis, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Kazi directly.
