Use Mtaani in your AI assistant

Connect Mtaani to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant and search Nairobi businesses, events, and services by chatting. One URL, no API key: https://mtaani.site/mcp

One URL, no API key

Mtaani speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open standard AI assistants use to call live tools. Add https://mtaani.site/mcp to any MCP-compatible assistant and it can search Nairobi businesses, events, and services in real time — no account, no API key, no setup beyond pasting the URL. Your assistant answers “find me a photographer in Westlands” with live Mtaani listings instead of stale training data.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Give it a name like Mtaani and paste https://mtaani.site/mcp as the URL. That's it — no sign-in step appears because Mtaani's search tools are public. In any new chat, ask Claude for businesses, events, or services in Nairobi and it will call Mtaani directly. Available on Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.

Claude Code

In your terminal, run: claude mcp add --transport http mtaani https://mtaani.site/mcp — then ask anything like “search mtaani for salons in Karen” in your next session.

ChatGPT

Open Settings, then Apps & Connectors, and enable Developer mode (available on Plus and Pro). Choose Create connector, paste https://mtaani.site/mcp as the MCP server URL, and select No authentication. ChatGPT can then search Mtaani's live directory in your conversations.

Cursor, VS Code, and other editors

Any editor or agent framework that supports MCP over HTTP works. For Cursor, add this to .cursor/mcp.json: {"mcpServers":{"mtaani":{"url":"https://mtaani.site/mcp"}}} — VS Code (Copilot agent mode), LangChain, and the OpenAI Agents SDK accept the same URL in their MCP server settings.

For developers and agent builders

Mtaani is fully agent-ready: an API catalog at /.well-known/api-catalog (RFC 9727), agent skills at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json, an MCP server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json, machine-readable overviews at /llms.txt, and registration instructions at /auth.md. The homepage also serves Markdown when requested with the Accept: text/markdown header. Building on the Claude API? Pass https://mtaani.site/mcp in the mcp_servers parameter and Mtaani becomes a tool with zero glue code.
