Schema Quality & AI Usability78
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3590 tokens (~115/item across 31 items; 24 tools + 7 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

MCP tools · 24 exposed · ~2,659 tokens

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 →

Install

How do I install the Afrotech.guide MCP server?

Afrotech.guide is a hosted endpoint at https://afrotech.guide/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Common questions

What is the Afrotech.guide MCP server?

Afrotech.guide is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.yadasa/afrotech-guide. Search and plan AfroTech 2026 events, sessions, people, companies, food, and member itineraries. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://afrotech.guide/mcp).

Is the Afrotech.guide MCP server safe to use?

Afrotech.guide scores 80 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Afrotech.guide MCP server expose?

Afrotech.guide exposes 24 tools: search_guide, search_jobs, recommend_jobs, get_job_context, plan_career_day, and 19 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,659 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Afrotech.guide MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Afrotech.guide without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the Afrotech.guide MCP server still maintained?

Afrotech.guide is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
