How Mukoko News works

What Mukoko News MCP server does

Mukoko News MCP server gives AI assistants and agents an MCP-based way to query Pan-African news. The product aggregates reporting from African newsrooms into a single service, with coverage spanning countries across the continent. The README places the public API and MCP implementation in the separate mukoko-dev/mukoko-news-gateway repository.

The repository associated with this listing is the reader-facing web application. It is a Next.js 15 frontend deployed on Vercel, while the gateway runs separately on Cloudflare Workers. The frontend reads news data through its own application data layer and should not be treated as the MCP server source code.

How it works

AI clients connect to the published MCP endpoint at news.mukoko.dev/mcp. Through that endpoint, assistants and agents can query Mukoko News data rather than relying only on the website interface.

Mukoko News organizes its content around African news coverage. The web application supports browsing by country, category, and source, as well as full-text article search.

Coverage is dynamic rather than a fixed country count. All 54 African Union member states are considered in scope, while the application calculates which countries have met its publishing threshold during the previous 30 days. The README deliberately avoids publishing a current live total.

Limitations and notes

The Mukoko News MCP server is described in the frontend README but implemented in a sibling gateway repository. Developers evaluating or modifying the MCP service should use mukoko-dev/mukoko-news-gateway, not this frontend repository. The ingestion and enrichment pipeline is maintained in a third repository, mukoko-dev/mukoko-ingestion-pipeline.

The frontend’s contributor setup requires Node.js 20+, pnpm 10+, and a local environment file, but those instructions apply to running the web application and do not establish requirements for the gateway.

The README identifies news.mukoko.dev/mcp as the MCP address and news.mukoko.com as the live news site. Treat those as separate service endpoints. The frontend also provides a browser embed widget, but that script is a website integration and is not documented as an MCP capability.
