A developer has created a practical guide for making African energy data accessible to large language models like Claude and Cursor. The project, named "Africa Energy Data MCP," wraps a public API and exposes it as MCP tools, enabling LLMs to directly query historical electricity, energy, and economic indicators for 54 African countries from 2000 to 2022. The guide details local setup, architecture, client connection, and testing, aiming to enhance LLM utility by providing access to real-world data with built-in caching and error handling. AI
