Most East Africans transacting heavily on mobile money have no formal credit file — the data exists in M-PESA history, but no scoring model reads it as an agent-callable tool.

70%+ of Kenyan adults are "credit invisible" — no formal credit history means no access to capital. M-PESA is a de facto financial history record that predicts repayment behaviour. mkopo-mcp makes that intelligence accessible to AI agents.

The Structural Problem

In mature economies, credit bureaus have 30+ years of credit card, mortgage, and auto loan data per person. That data machine took 50 years to build. In Kenya, most people's financial lives happen in cash and mobile money — invisible to formal credit systems.

M-PESA is the credit bureau that doesn't know it is one.

• Regular income deposits → income stability
• Utility payment regularity → discipline signal
• Savings behaviour (M-Shwari, chama) → future orientation
• Fuliza usage ratio → short-term distress indicator
• Business Paybill receipts → verifiable commercial activity
