**Listed in MCP Registry + Glama + RapidAPI, anchored by DOI, and callable through OpenAPI/MCP.**
**Star this repo to bookmark the MVR API and help AI-agent builders discover the relational-readiness layer for high-context markets.**
**Directory users:** If you found MVR through Odel, Glama, the MCP Registry, RapidAPI, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, or another AI-agent directory, connect to the keyless five-tool read-only preflight at `
africanmarketos.com`. For low-volume internal prototypes, start MVR API Starter at
africanmarketos.com; its delivered key works on authenticated REST and the licensed five-tool Streamable HTTP MCP runtime at `
africanmarketos.com`. Commercial or customer-facing MVR API use, higher limits, or custom API governance routes to
africanmarketos.com. Human audits, advisory reviews, Examiner engagements, programmes, institutional reviews, and research partnerships resolve through the canonical offer registry at
africanmarketos.com and continue through
africanmarketos.com; they do not inherently require an API key.
**Canonical title for indexing:** Minimum Viable Relationships (MVR) Framework: Africa's Prerequisite to MVP

In short:
> MVP tests whether a product can work. MVR tests whether the market will carry it.
**Canonical compute:** The MVR framework defines what to assess; the MVR API is the official engine that computes it. Start Starter, request governed access, or review pricing.
