exrate MCP-server — centralbankskurser för AI-assistenter

MCP-server på mcp.banks-rates.com. Lägg till den i Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT eller någon annan MCP-kompatibel klient, så får din assistent direkt tillgång till dagliga kurser från alla nationella centralbanker som exrate följer.

Installation

Claude Desktop

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "exrate": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.banks-rates.com/"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

# transport must be http (Streamable HTTP)
claude mcp add --transport http exrate https://mcp.banks-rates.com

Cursor

// Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add Server
// Transport: HTTP   URL: https://mcp.banks-rates.com/

The transport is Streamable HTTP; the server URL is the same across every MCP-compatible client: https://mcp.banks-rates.com/.

Authentication & limits

The server works without authentication at the free per-IP limits (12 requests/hour, 256/day). For higher limits (16/min, 800/hour, 16k/day), issue an API key in the console and add it as a bearer header:

# optional: a console API key for higher limits
claude mcp add --transport http exrate https://mcp.banks-rates.com \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer brk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

No OAuth is required. When a limit is hit the tool result reports a rate_limited error.

Vad din AI kan göra med denna MCP

  • get_rate — convert an amount at a bank's official rate for any date, with the previous business day's value.
  • cross_rate — convert between two currencies via a bank's national currency.
  • rate_series — a historical daily series for a bank + currency over a date range.
  • list_banks — every supported central bank and its code.
  • bank_detail — a bank's published currencies, schedule and available history range.
  • bank_status — per-bank freshness: latest rate date, currency count and updated-at timestamp.

Example prompts

  • "What was the NBP rate for 100 USD on 2024-03-15? Use the previous business day if it wasn't quoted."
  • "Compare today's USD/PLN rate at NBP, ECB and CNB."
  • "Pull a 90-day series for EUR/CZK at CNB and tell me the volatility."
  • "For each central bank, give me today's USD rate."

Vanliga frågor

Fungerar det här med Claude Desktop och Claude Code?

Ja — med båda. Installationssnuttar ovan. Samma URL fungerar för anpassade GPT:er i ChatGPT och för Cursor.

Är MCP-servern gratis?

Ja — lika gratis som resten av exrate.

Vilka verktyg exponerar MCP-servern?

get_rate, cross_rate, rate_series, list_banks, bank_detail, bank_status — de täcker alla operationer som REST-API:et stöder.

Kan min AI beräkna korskurser?

Ja — anropa get_rate två gånger via den nationella valutan och dividera. Eller skicka en korsspecifikation direkt.

Finns det en användningsgräns?

Gränser per IP vid kanten. Typiska assistentkonversationer slår aldrig i dem.
