The problem

AI agents make expensive currency mistakes.

Language models are trained on snapshot data. By the time your agent answers a currency question, the numbers it knows could be months out of date, with no way to tell you that.

Hallucinated rates

Models confidently cite exchange rates from their training cutoff, sometimes months or years stale. In financial workflows, this is not a UX problem. It is a correctness problem.

Brittle custom wrappers

Teams build one-off tool definitions per model. Each wrapper duplicates auth, error handling, and response shaping, then breaks silently when the upstream API changes a field name.

No history, no analytics

Most rate APIs give you today's snapshot. Agents answering trend questions like "how has EUR moved in 2025?" are left to guess, or send users to a search engine.

The solution

One MCP server. Every currency question answered.

CurrencyCore ships a production-ready MCP server with four tools your agents can call immediately: no prompt engineering, no wrapper maintenance, no extra API accounts.

Tool-native, not JSON-wrangling

Agents call convert(from="USD", to="INR", amount=100) and get a typed result back. No JSON parsing, no field extraction, no prompt gymnastics. The MCP layer handles everything the model should not have to think about.

Live rates, not training memory

Rates are sourced from the ECB and refreshed hourly across Cloudflare's global edge network. Every tool call returns the current, verified rate, not what the model last saw during pre-training. Historical data reaches back to 1949.

Org-scoped, metered, auditable

The MCP server authenticates through the same OAuth flow as the REST API. Each tool call counts against your plan's request quota, visible in the dashboard under the MCP panel, so there are no surprise bills and no separate accounts to manage.

Trend analysis, not just spot rates

The analyze_history tool lets agents answer questions like "how did GBP perform against USD over the last decade?" with real data: change percentages, annualized volatility, and period highs and lows, all in a single tool round.

MCP tools

13 tools. Every currency question answered.

Core tools are available on every plan. Analytics tools require Growth plan or higher. The API enforces this at call time.

convert

Convert any amount between two currencies at live mid-market rates. Pass ppp=true for purchasing-power-adjusted results with IMF country-level factors.

get_rates

Full exchange-rate snapshot against any base currency for any date: today or historical.

get_rates_by_base

The same rate snapshot re-expressed against a non-USD base currency.

get_history

Historical rate time series for any currency pair over any date window.

analyze_history

Change %, annualized volatility, period high and low, and a downsampled trend series over any window. Growth+

analyze_ppp

IMF PPP factor change and trend for any country pair over a multi-year window. Growth+

analyze_volatility

Rank or compare currencies by annualized volatility over any period. Growth+

analyze_correlation

How closely two or more currencies move together. Correlation coefficient over any window. Growth+

analyze_drawdown

Peak-to-trough decline and recovery speed for any currency over a chosen period. Growth+

analyze_safe_haven

Score currencies on safe-haven characteristics: stability, crisis performance, and reserve status. Growth+

analyze_mean_reversion

How strongly a currency tends to revert toward its historical average after a move. Growth+

list_countries

All supported countries with their official ISO currency code, so agents resolve "India" to INR:IND without hallucinating codes.

list_currencies

All supported ISO 4217 currency codes and their names.
