MTN Group

MTN Group is Africa's largest mobile network operator, headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, serving roughly 290 million subscribers across around 16 markets in Africa. Beyond mobile voice, data and enterprise connectivity it runs MoMo, one of the continent's largest mobile-money platforms. Unusually for a carrier, MTN publishes a genuinely open developer surface: the MTN Developer Platform (MADAPI) at developers.mtn.com lists 221 API products across 15 African markets and lets anyone download the OpenAPI/Swagger definition for a product without an account, and momodeveloper.mtn.com is a self-serve Azure API Management portal with a sandbox for the MoMo Collection, Disbursements and Remittance APIs. Its catalogue is heavily TM Forum Open API shaped (TMF620, TMF621, TMF622, TMF629, TMF632, TMF633, TMF635, TMF637, TMF639, TMF652, TMF654, TMF658, TMF666, TMF667, TMF676, TMF677, TMF678, TMF681, TMF683, TMF685, TMF688, TMF720). MTN South Africa is a GSMA Open Gateway participant — it announced Number Verification and SIM Swap with Cell C and Telkom in February 2024 — but nothing in its published catalogue is CAMARA-shaped: its SIM Swap and Device Swap APIs are MTN-proprietary designs secured with OAuth2 client-credentials rather than the CAMARA OIDC/CIBA profile, and no CAMARA API is callable from either portal. MTN is not an Aduna shareholder. Sandbox access is self-serve; production access is vetted and commercially negotiated.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles MTN Group the way a machine reads it — 125 machine-readable artifacts across 119 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — MTN Group scores 51.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 80/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile MTN Group

APIs 119

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
