echoEchoes back the input stringget-annotated-messageDemonstrates how annotations can be used to provide metadata about content.get-envReturns all environment variables, helpful for debugging MCP server configurationget-header-paramsReturns its region argument and the Mcp-Param-Region HTTP header it arrived in. Demonstrates x-mcp-header (a 2026-07-28 Streamable HTTP client mirrors the argument into the header) and JSON Schema 2020-12 input and output schemas.get-resource-linksReturns up to ten resource links that reference different types of resourcesget-resource-referenceReturns a resource reference that can be used by MCP clientsget-structured-contentReturns structured content along with an output schema for client data validationget-sumReturns the sum of two numbersget-tiny-imageReturns a tiny MCP logo image.gzip-file-as-resourceCompresses a single file using gzip compression. Depending upon the selected output type, returns either the compressed data as a gzipped resource or a resource link, allowing it to be downloaded in a subsequent request: during the current session for a 2025-era client, or for ten minutes at a minted URI on protocol version 2026-07-28.trigger-list-changedSends a notifications/<list>/list_changed for the tool, prompt or resource list. On protocol version 2026-07-28 it is delivered on each subscriptions/listen stream that asked for that list; a 2025-era client receives it unsolicited.trigger-log-messagesSends one log message at each logging level during the call. On protocol version 2026-07-28 only the messages at or above the level the request names in _meta (io.modelcontextprotocol/logLevel) are sent, and none if it names no level; a 2025-era client gets those at or above the level it set with logging/setLevel. Deprecated: logging is deprecated as of protocol version 2026-07-28.- +4 more on the listing page

swahili_english_glossaryTranslate civic and government terms between Swahili and English from a small glossary, or list the whole glossary. Use when someone needs the Swahili or English word for an official term. term is looked up in both directions; a term not in the glossary returns null for both directions with a note, not a guess. Returns the source label, the term, swahili_to_english, english_to_swahili and a note, or the glossary and its size when no term is given. A short civic glossary labelled DEMO, not a translation service: use a professional translator for important documents. Read-only; no side effects.kikuyu_language_guideBasic Kikuyu (Gikuyu) phrases and facts: how many people belong to the community, the script and learning resources. Use when someone wants an introduction to Kikuyu or a basic phrase. term filters the phrase list; an unmatched term returns empty matches. Returns the source label, the matching phrases or the basics, an ethnic-group population (about 8.1 million, 2019 census, which is not a count of speakers), the script, resources and a note. A small reference labelled DEMO: not a dictionary. Read-only; no side effects.luo_language_guideBasic Dholuo (Luo) phrases and facts: community size, script and resources. Use when someone wants an introduction to Dholuo or a basic phrase. term filters the phrase list; an unmatched term returns empty matches. Returns the source label, the matching phrases or the basics, an ethnic-group population (about 5.07 million, fourth largest in the 2019 census, which is not a count of speakers), the script, resources and a note. A small reference labelled DEMO: not a dictionary. Read-only; no side effects.official_document_glossaryExplain Kenyan official documents (such as ID, birth certificate, KRA PIN) with the issuing office and where to apply. Use when someone asks what a document is called or where to get it. document_type is matched by name (spaces become underscores); an unmatched type returns a note pointing to ecitizen.go.ke instead of a guess. Returns the source label, the document and the matching information, or all documents and the portal when none is given. A sample labelled DEMO: confirm with the issuing office. Read-only; no side effects.language_detection_guideHelp identify which Kenyan language a text is in and where to find language tools: the languages with speaker numbers, type, markers, and translation and NLP resources. Use when someone is unsure which language a text sample is. This tool does NOT detect the language itself: text_sample is accepted but the same guide is returned. Returns the languages with their common marker words and tool pointers such as Google Translate and Masakhane. Speaker figures are rough and labelled DEMO. Read-only; no side effects.civic_terminology_swahiliSwahili and English terms for common Kenyan civic processes (voter registration, getting an ID and others), with how to do each. Use when someone needs the Swahili wording or steps for a civic process. process matches by name or by text in the entries; if none match, ALL processes are returned. Returns the source label, the process and the guidance, or all processes and the portal. A short list labelled DEMO: check the issuing office. Read-only; no side effects.
