What it does
This MCP server provides access to official exchange rates and tax authority rates from 100+ central banks and tax institutions including the ECB, Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan, and HMRC. It is designed for developers building applications that need compliant, audited rates for tax, accounting, and customs purposes rather than live market rates.
- Retrieve official central bank rates for a specific date to ensure tax and accounting compliance in financial applications.
- Compare the same currency pair across multiple central banks to analyze rate variations and spreads.
- Fetch historical exchange rates for audit trails and regulatory reporting that require point-in-time correctness with publication dates.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
