What is the Unirate MCP Server?

Model Context Protocol server for the UniRate API — currency conversion, exchange rates, historical data (back to 1999), and supported-currency lookup for AI

What the server does

Most "currency for AI" workflows today involve hand-rolled fetch wrappers in custom tools, or generic HTTP MCP servers that hand the model raw JSON. This server gives models a tight, typed, currency-aware tool surface — they ask "what was 100 USD in EUR on 2020-03-15?" and get back a formatted answer plus a structured payload they can chain into other tool calls.

Recorded tools

  • convert — Convert an amount from one currency to another at the latest rate.
  • latest_rate — The latest_rate tool exposed by this server.
  • list_currencies — Returns the array of supported currency codes (170+) with no parameters. Useful for autocomplete or validating user-supplied codes.
