From a developer perspective, only Node.js ≥ 18 is needed for local testing or contribution. The public MCP endpoint requires no server‑side setup.
How does Uganda Payments MCP handle authentication?
The MCP server authenticates requests via the x-flutterwave-secret-key header, which must contain a valid Flutterwave secret key (test or production). No other authentication is needed.

It uses Streamable HTTP with stateless JSON‑RPC. The endpoint is https://mcp-ug.wishpool.app/mcp.
How is Uganda Payments MCP different from directly calling Flutterwave?
