Mophones

Mophones (MoPhones) is a Nairobi, Kenya based fintech and recommerce company building accessible device-financing and re-commerce infrastructure for Africa, starting with premium refurbished smartphones from brands like Apple and Samsung sold with flexible weekly-installment and pay-on-delivery plans. The consumer storefront runs on Shopify at mophones.co and does not expose a first-party developer API; its only programmatic surface is the Shopify-provided agentic-commerce layer — a published Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) profile at /.well-known/ucp and a live UCP-over-MCP shopping endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp that lets buyer-approved AI shopping agents search the catalog, build carts, and complete Shop Pay checkouts. Mophones is backed by Speedinvest and was noted as the first African startup to secure NICE financing from STV.

Mophones publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, E-Commerce, Commerce, Agentic Commerce, and Universal Commerce Protocol.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/mophones: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
