What the publisher says

From the Mukoko News repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

Mukoko News

Pan-African news, in one place.

"Mukoko" means beehive in Shona — where the community gathers and stores knowledge. Mukoko News aggregates hundreds of African newsrooms into one feed, so a reader in Harare can follow Lagos, Nairobi and Dakar without opening twenty tabs.

All 54 African Union member states are in scope. How many are live is a number the app measures rather than asserts — see Coverage.

The sibling repos. This one is the reader-facing web app. The

gateway is the public API and MCP server;

the pipeline does the ingestion and

enrichment. Issues land in whichever repo owns the code.

What is this?

This repository is the Next.js 15 frontend for Mukoko News, deployed on Vercel. It is one part of a three-repo platform:

The frontend reads news data directly from MongoDB Atlas via Next.js Server Actions.

Features

  • Pan-African coverage — see Coverage for what that claim means
  • Discover — browse by country, category, or source
  • NewsBytes — TikTok-style vertical swipe feed for quick headlines
  • Search — full-text search across all articles
  • Dark mode — respects system preference
  • Embed widgets — drop a news feed into any site with one tag
  • MCP server — AI assistants can query Pan-African news at news.mukoko.dev/mcp
  • Accessible — Radix UI primitives, WCAG AAA contrast, Schema.org structured data

Coverage

All 54 African Union member states are in scope. The number that is live is a query, not a constant.
