Remote MCP

claude mcp add --transport http exchangerate-dev https://api.exchangerate.dev/v1/mcp/

Local bridge

npx -y exchangerate-dev-mcp

The upstream README also notes the renamed package @nusantara-ventures/exchangerate-mcp.

Configuration

Remote target: streamable-http:https://api.exchangerate.dev/v1/mcp/

Local bridge environment variables:

EXCHANGERATE_API_KEY
ALLOW_ANONYMOUS
EXCHANGERATE_BASE_URL
EXCHANGERATE_TIMEOUT

Capabilities

Live FX rates, currency conversion, historical FX data, and freshness metadata for AI agents.

Limitations

Indicative rates only, not for settlement, executable pricing, or regulated trading. The local bridge is a thin transport layer over exchangerate.dev and requires Node.js 18+ plus npm/build tooling.
