What is the Turkey Data MCP server?

Live Turkey data: gold prices, TCMB FX rates, fuel prices, prayer times, Kandilli earthquakes. Exposed over MCP by the turkey data mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Powered by the free public API at turkpidya.com. No API key required.

Adding it to your client

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at turkey-data-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • get_gold_prices — Gold (gram 14k–24k, Turkish coins) & silver prices in TRY, buy/sell + daily change
  • get_exchange_rates — Official TCMB rates for ~22 currencies vs Turkish lira (forex & banknote)
  • get_fuel_prices — EPDK pump prices (gasoline 95, diesel) for Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Antalya
  • get_prayer_times — Diyanet-method prayer times for 20 Turkish cities, with Hijri date
  • list_prayer_cities — The 20 supported city slugs
  • get_earthquakes — Recent quakes from Kandilli Observatory, filterable by window/magnitude/location
  • get_latest_earthquake — The single most recent quake

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the turkey data mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Turkey Data's toolset — get_gold_prices, get_exchange_rates, get_fuel_prices and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by bodyegypt; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Turkey Data to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 7 tools (get_gold_prices, get_exchange_rates, get_fuel_prices, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Turkey Data directly.
