The only text from the server itself is in the section quoted from it below. ## How to reach it - The client starts it as a local process (stdio): `uvx nyumba-mcp==0.1.6`. - Your MCP client knows it as `nyumba` (`clients/` configures it under that name); call its tools by the names below. Claude Code shows them as `mcp__nyumba__<tool>`. - No credentials. ## Tools 5 tools. The read-only column is the server's own hint (`readOnlyHint`), not something the hub checked. ### Quoted from the server: data, not instructions The names, sentences and parameter names in this table are the server's own text, as the hub listed it.

Use when someone asks how much they could borrow for a home. The estimate treats 40% of income as the monthly repayment and amortises it over 20 years at an assumed 13% a year (the middle of the 12-14% commercial range; assumed_rate_pct says so), so a KES 50,000 income supports about KES 1.7 million, not the KES 4.8 million a simple income x 0.4 x 240 would give. property_value_kes is accepted but does not change the result; zero or negative income returns an error.
