What is the SEK FX MCP Server?

SEK FX MCP retrieves Riksbank exchange-rate data for a currency quoted against Swedish kronor.

A narrow currency lookup

This Python MCP server queries the Riksbank API for a currency’s exchange rate against SEK. It accepts an ISO 4217 currency code such as EUR, GBP or NOK. Its purpose is a focused reference lookup rather than a trading system or a general live-market data platform.

Source installation

The README documents using Python and uv, then registering server.py through the MCP installer. The implementation uses the Python SDK. Follow the project’s entry point instead of inferring a package or launch command from its short repository name.

Understand the returned quote

Keep the requested currency, source observation and unit together. Verify the returned quote direction before using it in a conversion; reversing a rate changes the result materially. The latest published reference observation is also different from an executable market quote.

Rate limits and first trial

The project documents limits for unauthenticated Riksbank API calls and an optional RIKSBANKEN_API_KEY for greater access. Confirm the upstream service’s current policy for the intended workload. Start with one known currency, compare the response with the Riksbank source and test an unsupported code. Include errors and unavailable observations in the client’s result handling instead of substituting a zero or a guessed rate.
