📊 soko-mcp — Kenya Commodity Price Intelligence MCP Server
📊 soko-mcp — Kenya Commodity Price Intelligence MCP Server. That is what the soko mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
A farmer deciding whether to sell or hold needs current prices across multiple markets simultaneously. That comparison exists nowhere as a single queryable source.
The server publishes 5 tools. What each one is for:
commodity_price_query — Current price for commodity at a specific marketregional_price_comparison — Compare prices across all major Kenya marketsprice_trend_analysis — 6-month history + 3-month forecast with seasonal modelsell_hold_decision — Optimal sell/hold timing given storage costs and price trendmarket_overview — Multi-commodity price snapshot for a marketThe server ships on PyPI as soko-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.
Among the file and storage access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Soko's toolset — commodity_price_query, regional_price_comparison, price_trend_analysis and 2 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.
This entry was verified against Soko's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
