The MCP Currency Converter Server delivers real-time currency conversion and up-to-date exchange rates by leveraging the Frankfurter API, letting you integrate flexible financial calculations into your applications.

How to use

You connect to the MCP Currency Converter Server from an MCP client to perform currency operations and fetch rate data. Use the provided MCP endpoint to stream data or fall back to the legacy SSE path if your client does not support streamable HTTP. With the standard configuration, you run the proxy command once and then query the server through your MCP client to convert currencies, get latest rates, or retrieve historical data.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js and npm must be installed on your system.

Install and run the MCP proxy command shown below to connect to the currency converter MCP endpoint.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "currency_conv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://currency-mcp.wesbos.com/sse"]
    }
  }
}

Notes

The server sources exchange rate data from the Frankfurter API. You can perform conversions and retrieve current or historical rates through the MCP client. If you need a non-streaming setup, you can route through a proxy using the same underlying endpoint.
