Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 851 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name exchange-rates-mcp-server.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 7 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 851 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 851 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    21 of 21 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 7

fx_convert_currency

Convert an amount between any two currencies at the latest or a historical rate. Returns the converted amount, the rate used, the actual rate date, and whether the date was snapped from a weekend/holiday to the prior business day. Cross-rates are triangulated through EUR automatically.

Discovered
fx_dataframe_describe

List tables and columns staged on a DataCanvas from a prior fx_get_timeseries call. Required first step before fx_dataframe_query — use it to discover table names and column schemas. Requires DataCanvas, which is on by default — a deployment that turns it off does not list this tool at all, and fx_get_timeseries returns every range inline there.

Discovered
fx_dataframe_query

Run a read-only SQL SELECT against DataCanvas tables staged by fx_get_timeseries. Supports aggregations, GROUP BY, window functions, and JOINs across multiple registered tables. Run fx_dataframe_describe first to discover table names and column schemas. Requires DataCanvas, which is on by default — a deployment that turns it off does not list this tool at all, and fx_get_timeseries returns every range inline there.

Discovered
fx_get_rate

Get the exchange rate for a currency pair on a given date (default: latest). Returns the rate, the actual rate date (which may differ from the requested date on weekends/holidays — daily observations may skip non-publication days), and source provenance. Cross-rates are triangulated through EUR automatically. A same-currency pair returns a rate of 1, dated to the same publication day any other pair would report for that date. Use fx_convert_currency when you want the converted amount; use this tool when you only need the rate number.

Discovered
fx_get_rates

Get all available exchange rates for one base currency in a single snapshot. Useful for bulk comparison and seeding downstream tools. Returns a map of quote currency → rate, the actual snapshot date, and whether a historical date was snapped from a weekend/holiday to the prior business day. Optionally filter to a subset of quote currencies via symbols. Listing the base currency itself in symbols is accepted and returns a rate of 1 for it.

Discovered
fx_get_timeseries

Get historical daily Frankfurter v1 rates over an inclusive date range. Same-date EUR legs are divided without intermediate rounding; only days with both currencies appear, including observed self-pairs at 1 and historical retired currencies. Missing-leg served days produce coverage notices; weekends and holidays are not counted as missing. summary covers all observed days before delivery: arithmetic mean, earliest tied extrema, endpoints and percentage change, without accounting policy. limit bounds returned rows (default/max 500); 0 returns summary only. Continue inline with next_start_date, the same end_date and a positive limit. Long ranges (>90 days by default) stage beyond the 40,000-character preview budget, independently of limit. Explicit canvas_id always stages the complete series, including short/empty results, and fails if unavailable or unknown. Each registration preserves earlier tables with a unique table_name. spilled=true returns canvas_id and table_name; use fx_dataframe_describe then fx_dataframe_query for SQL. Without DataCanvas, omit canvas_id to page inline.

Discovered
fx_list_currencies

List current Frankfurter v1 currency codes and names with as_of, the latest served rate date. include_retired=true adds historical codes absent from the current set. Optional official ECB start_date/end_date are outer coverage bounds, not uninterrupted availability; a dated end_date does not imply retirement. Metadata outages are disclosed without failing current discovery. Historical availability remains validated from requested v1 data. Use this to disambiguate dollars (USD vs AUD vs CAD).
