FAQ from Unit / Currency / Timezone — hosted on Cloudflare Workers (HTTP + npm stdio)
How do I get an API key?
Visit https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/upgrade?tier=solo (or team/pro), complete the Dodo Payments checkout, and the key will be displayed once on the welcome page. Anonymous users may call the server without a key up to 100 times per month per IP.
What transports does the server support?
The primary transport is HTTP POST to https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp. An npm package (@insnapsprakhar/unit-converter-mcp) provides a stdio launcher that shells out to mcp-remote, effectively connecting via HTTP under the hood.
What data sources are used for currency and timezone data?
Live currency rates come from exchangerate.host (free public API). Timezone data is from the IANA Timezone Database (public domain). The server caches responses briefly and stays within each upstream’s free-tier ToS.
What is the free tier and how does pricing work?
The free tier offers 100 calls per month and a 10‑call/minute rate limit. Paid tiers (Solo $5/mo, Team $15/mo, Pro $39/mo) provide higher monthly call limits and rate limits, with Team and Pro adding team‑member sub‑keys. Billing is handled via Dodo Payments.
