Overview

What is UniRate MCP?

UniRate MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that connects the UniRate API to any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, Continue, etc.). It gives assistants first-class access to real-time currency conversion and exchange rates for over 170 fiat and major crypto currencies, plus historical rates back to 1999 (Pro plan). A free tier is available without a credit card.

How to use UniRate MCP?

Install globally with npm install -g @unirate/mcp or run on demand with npx @unirate/mcp. Get a free API key at unirateapi.com. Configure the server in your MCP client’s JSON config (e.g., Claude Desktop or Cursor) by setting the UNIRATE_API_KEY environment variable. To run as a remote endpoint, use the --http flag (e.g., unirate-mcp --http 3001). The package also exports buildServer(client) for programmatic use in edge runtimes.

Frequently asked questions

1

What currencies are supported?

Over 170 fiat and major crypto currencies are supported, returned by the `list_currencies` tool.

2

Do I need an API key?

Yes. Get a free key from unirateapi.com with no credit card required. The free tier covers `convert`, `latest_rate`, and `list_currencies`; `historical_rate` requires a Pro plan.

3

What transports does UniRate MCP support?

It supports Stdio (default for most MCP clients) and Streamable HTTP/SSE for running as a remote endpoint.

4

How do I run it as a remote server?

Start with `UNIRATE_API_KEY=your-key unirate-mcp --http <port>` or set the `UNIRATE_MCP_HTTP_PORT` environment variable. Point HTTP-capable MCP clients at `http://your-host:port/mcp`.

5

Are there errors if something goes wrong?

All failures are mapped to friendly tool errors (e.g., invalid API key, rate limit, currency not found) so the model can recover gracefully.
