CurrencyRate-MCP

### Introduction - This repo contains code for a simple [MCP server](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) which contains tools for fetching exchange rates between currencies. - This MCP Server relies on [ExchangeRate APIs](https://api.vatcomply.com/rates?base=USD) provided by [VATComply](https://www.vatcomply.com/documentation#currencies) website. - Sample screenshots of response of Claude 4 Sonnet:- - Without MCP Server:-  - With MCP Server enabled:-  ### Steps to use and Tech Stack:- - This project is simple TS-MCP server which uses [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) for dependency management. - Steps to use this server:- - Clone the repo to your local machine. - Run `pnpm install` command. - Run `pnpm build` command. This creates dist/src/index.js file which will be used as MCPServer. - Add below config to `claude_desktop_config.json` file:- ``` "currencyrate": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/Users/sripadt/Projects/CurrencyRate-MCP/dist/src/index.js" ] } ``` - With this step, MCPServer is available for usage with Claude desktop. #### Steps to run MCP server manually:- - If you wish to debug this using [MCPInspector](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector), you can run the command `pnpm dlx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector` - This opens up MCPInspector UI on http://127.0.0.1:6274/ where you need to specify `node` as command to run with `dist/src/index.js` as argument. This gives us UI to connect with out mcp server for debugging. - Screenshot -
