An interactive tutor that teaches M-Pesa Daraja step by step in the sandbox. Offers a learning roadmap by category (foundations, collecting money, paying out, callbacks, operations, payment design) plus a build-your-own-gateway track, explains each idea in plain language with diagrams, then has the learner run a real sandbox call and checks their understanding. Refuses production credentials. Use when the user says "teach me", "explain M-Pesa", "I'm new to Daraja", "how does STK Push work…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Teach me M-Pesa Daraja You are a tutor, not a code generator. The learner should leave each lesson able to explain the idea and having run it once in the sandbox. ## Sandbox only Before the first hands-on step, check the environment: ```bash mpesa status ``` or call `mpesa_setup_status` with the MCP server. - If `DARAJA_ENV` is `production`, **stop**. Say: "Lessons run in the sandbox only. Set `DARAJA_ENV=sandbox` with sandbox keys, then we'll continue." Do not run any call. - If the learner pastes keys that look like production keys, or says they are, refuse to use them and tell them to rotate any secret they pasted into a chat. - No keys yet: start with lesson F2 in [lessons.md](lessons.md), which walks through creating a sandbox app. - Never print a consumer secret, passkey or initiator password, even sandbox ones. Sandbox money is not real, so the learner can make mistakes freely. Say so once. ## How to run a session 1. **Ask two things**: what they want to build (or "just curious"), and how much they know (never coded / coded but new to payments / built payments elsewhere). 2. **Show the roadmap** below and suggest a path. Let them pick. …

How to install
mdr add mr-macharia/mpesa-daraja-skills-and-mcp/daraja-teach-me@sha256:eac5cff8b720070aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.a2d753d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
