- 1 of 15 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency100
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to gabrielmahia/kra-mcp). View diagnostics → Pass

Stability & Change Management60
- Stability observed for 18 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
paye_calculator Paye Calculator ~314
Estimate Kenya PAYE and take-home pay from annual gross pay. Use when someone asks what they will take home after statutory deductions, how much PAYE they owe, or how NSSF, SHIF and the housing levy affect it. Deducts NSSF (6%, capped at KES 6,480 per month), SHIF (2.75%, minimum KES 300) and the housing levy (1.5%) before applying the PAYE bands, then KES 2,400 per month personal relief. Returns gross, each monthly deduction, taxable pay, PAYE before and after relief, net monthly pay, the effective rate, annual totals, the assumptions used and the date the statutory figures are current to (2026-10). An estimate only: verify with KRA. It applies current law; a proposed PAYE relief that is not yet law is reported in pending_changes, not applied. Read-only; no side effects.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| annual_gross_income_kes | number | yes | Annual gross pay in Kenya shillings (KES). Negative values are treated as 0. |
| include_housing_levy | – | – | Deduct the affordable housing levy (default true). |
| include_nhif | – | – | Deprecated and ignored: NHIF was replaced by SHIF. Kept so existing callers do not break. |
| include_nssf | – | – | Deduct the employee NSSF contribution (default true). |
| include_shif | – | – | Deduct the SHIF health contribution (default true). |

pin_registration_guide Pin Registration Guide ~140
Step-by-step guide to getting a KRA PIN (Personal Identification Number) on iTax, with the documents needed, cost and processing time. Use when someone asks how to register for a PIN. Returns steps, documents, cost, processing time and KRA contact details for an 'individual' or a 'company'; any other applicant type silently falls back to the individual guide, so check the applicant_type field in the response. Static summary labelled DEMO: confirm the steps on itax.kra.go.ke. Read-only.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| applicant_type | string | – | Either individual or company (case-insensitive). Any other value returns the individual guide. |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
tax_filing_calendar Tax Filing Calendar ~120
The main recurring Kenya tax filing deadlines: individual income tax return (30 June, for the previous calendar year), company income tax return (six months after the accounting year-end), monthly PAYE (9th) and VAT (20th), and the late-filing and late-payment penalties. Use when someone asks when a return or payment is due. Takes no arguments. Not year-specific: these are standing statutory deadlines checked against KRA's published guidance on 2026-10-12, not a dated calendar for one year. Read-only.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
tax_incentives_guide Tax Incentives Guide ~125
Kenya investment tax incentives and reliefs by sector (manufacturing, agriculture, technology, exports, pension, startup). Use when exploring tax reliefs for a business or for pension contributions. With sector it returns the matching incentives, or all sectors if none match; with no argument it returns everything. Static summary labelled DEMO and NOT verified against current law (some listed incentives are unverified): confirm with KRA or KenInvest before relying. Read-only.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| sector | – | – | Optional keyword such as agriculture or technology; partial matches work. Omit for all sectors. |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
vat_guide Vat Guide ~137
Kenya VAT basics: the registration threshold (KES 5 million annual taxable turnover), the standard rate and zero-rated or exempt categories, filing, refunds and government VAT withholding. Use when asked about VAT rules; for when a VAT return is due use tax_filing_calendar. Keywords in the query (registration, rate, filing, refund, withholding) select the matching entries; if none match, all entries are returned. Static summary labelled DEMO: verify at kra.go.ke. Read-only.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Free text such as how do I register for VAT. Keywords registration, rate, filing, refund or withholding select entries. |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

withholding_tax_rates Withholding Tax Rates ~143
Kenya withholding tax rates by payment type (dividends, bank interest, professional and management fees, royalties, commercial rent, contractor payments), resident versus non-resident. Use when working out how much tax to withhold from a payment. With payment_type it returns the matching rates, or a pointer to kra.go.ke if nothing matches; with no argument it returns all rates. Rates may be reduced by Double Tax Agreements. Static summary labelled DEMO and not verified against current law: confirm before relying. Read-only.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| payment_type | – | – | Optional filter such as dividends, professional fees or rent. Spaces become underscores; partial matches work. Omit for all rates. |
