# @apogeoapi/mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for [ApogeoAPI](https://app.apogeoapi.com) — geographic data, live exchange rates, and IP geolocation for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
## What it does
This server exposes ApogeoAPI's REST endpoints as tools that AI assistants can call directly. Ask Claude "What is the current USD rate for Argentina?" or "Geolocate IP 8.8.8.8" and it will call the right tool automatically.
## Available tools
