name: 8B Education Investments
description: 8B Education Investments (legally 8B Finance, Inc., trading as 8B) is a New York headquartered
  education-finance company founded in 2017 by Lydiah Kemunto Bosire that helps African students pay for
  degrees at universities outside Africa. It operates a student-loan marketplace and eligibility comparison
  tool, an income-share and guarantee backed lending program originated with partner banks including Nelnet
  Bank, a University Reserve admissions product, and a free community platform of prospective and current
  students offering scholarships, courses, forums, events and job listings. 8B publishes no public developer
  program or API reference; the only machine-readable surfaces it serves are an llms.txt on its marketing
  site and an OAuth-protected Model Context Protocol endpoint exposed by its WordPress stack.

  name: 8B Model Context Protocol Server
  description: 'An OAuth-protected Model Context Protocol endpoint served from 8B''s own WordPress installation
    at www.8b.africa. Discovery is standards-conformant: an RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata document
    and an RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata document are both served anonymously, and an unauthenticated
    JSON-RPC tools/list returns HTTP 401 with a WWW-Authenticate Bearer challenge naming the resource
    metadata. The tool list itself is therefore auth-gated and was not enumerated. Authorship is platform,
    not provider: the server is registered by the WordPress MCP Adapter plugin family (three servers are
    exposed — mcp-oauth-server, mcp-adapter-default-server and amelia-mcp-server) rather than authored
    by 8B, but it is operated on 8B''s own host under 8B''s own OAuth issuer.'
