1. Get your free API key

2. Add one block to your config

Open Claude Desktop settings and add the mcpServers entry to claude_desktop_config.json. On macOS the file is at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.

3. Ask Claude a currency question

Restart Claude Desktop and ask: "What is the current USD to EUR rate?" Claude calls the convert tool and returns a live answer.

Capabilities

13 live tools. Every currency question answered.

Claude calls the right tool automatically. You ask in plain English and get a verified answer.

Convert currencies

convert(from='USD', to='INR', amount=500) returns a live rate, no guessing.

Historical rates

Any date back to 1949. Ask "What was the EUR rate in 2008?" and Claude fetches the exact ECB value.

PPP analysis

Ask "What is $99 worth in India in purchasing power terms?" and get the IMF-backed PPP equivalent.

Volatility

Which currencies are most stable right now? Claude ranks them with real annualized data.

Correlation

"Are EUR and GBP correlated?" Returns the Pearson coefficient over any window.

Country lookup

Claude resolves "India" to INR:IND without hallucinating currency codes.
