anirbanbasu-frankfurtermcp — Claude Code MCP server
This MCP server gives agents access to Frankfurter API data for current rates, historical lookups, and time series. Use it for currency calculations and analysis.
claude mcp add --transport http anirbanbasu-frankfurtermcp https://server.smithery.ai/@anirbanbasu/frankfurtermcp/mcpWhat anirbanbasu-frankfurtermcp does
The server exposes Frankfurter API data to an agent, including current exchange rates, historical values, and time-series results. It can connect to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, Zed, and Gemini CLI through an HTTP MCP endpoint.
A local setup uses Python 3.12+, just, and uv. The project can be installed with just install; just install-all adds dependencies used for development and testing. The API endpoint can be changed with FRANKFURTER_API_URL, including when the Frankfurter API is self-hosted.
Responses are cached with LRU handling for stable lookups and TTL handling for values that change. Binding an HTTP server to 0.0.0.0 creates a security risk, so that setting belongs only in demo environments.
What it helps with
- look up the latest rate between two currencies
- compare historical exchange-rate values
- retrieve a currency time series for a period
- use live rates in an agent-driven calculation
Example prompts for the agent
- Get the current EUR to USD exchange rate through Frankfurter.
- Compare GBP to EUR rates across a chosen historical period.
- Retrieve the USD to CHF time series and describe its movement.
