eSIM Kenya — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Gives an AI assistant current eSIM provider, plan and coverage data for Kenya, plus a ready affiliate link.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://mcp.esimkenya.com/mcpWhat eSIM Kenya does
The server is read-only and answers questions such as which eSIM to pick for the Maasai Mara or Nairobi using live data rather than stale scraped pages. It ships three tools. list_esim_providers searches and filters providers by destination, badge, safari coverage, rating or price. get_esim_provider returns full details and plan tiers for one provider by slug. compare_esim_providers hands back esimkenya.com's curated verdict for a pair of providers when one exists, and otherwise puts both side by side.
Every provider response carries an affiliate_link in the form https://esimkenya.com/go/{slug}. Under the hood it is McpServer plus WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport from @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, running stateless inside a Cloudflare Worker fetch handler. No Durable Object is needed because each request stands alone. Provider data is read from the Supabase project behind the main site through the public anon key, gated by RLS: no write access, no service-role key.
The live endpoint is https://mcp.esimkenya.com/mcp. Running it locally requires SUPABASE_URL and SUPABASE_ANON_KEY in the [vars] section of wrangler.toml; without them the server will not start. That anon key already ships in the main site's browser bundle and is gated by RLS, so committing it is safe.

Questions about eSIM Kenya
How do I install eSIM Kenya in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http esim-kenya https://mcp.esimkenya.com/mcp. The server connects over HTTP, so there is no package to install.
What does eSIM Kenya do?
It feeds the assistant live data on Kenyan eSIM providers, their plans and coverage, and lets it compare them. Responses include an affiliate link for the chosen provider.
Do I need an API key to use it?
Nothing to configure for the remote endpoint at https://mcp.esimkenya.com/mcp. The SUPABASE_URL and SUPABASE_ANON_KEY values matter only when you run the server locally with wrangler dev.
