Exchange MCP — wraps the Frankfurter currency exchange API (free, no auth)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription
get_rateGet the current exchange rate between two currencies (e.g., USD, EUR). Returns the rate value and timestamp.
convertConvert an amount from one currency to another at current rates. Returns the converted amount and the exchange rate applied.
get_historical_rateGet the exchange rate between two currencies on a specific date (format: YYYY-MM-DD). Returns the historical rate and date.
get_currenciesList all supported currencies with codes and full names. Use to verify currency codes before converting or checking rates.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "exchange": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/exchange/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/exchange/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-toolsask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Exchange data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
