Wraps the open.er-api.com service to bring live currency conversion into your MCP workflow. Exposes a single tool, get_pair, for fetching the current exchange rate between two currencies. No API key required since it uses the free tier. Useful when you need real-time forex data in Claude without managing credentials or building your own integration. Part of the larger Pipeworx gateway, which bundles this with 600+ other data sources if you want broader access. The ask_pipeworx wrapper lets you query in natural language instead of calling tools directly. Runs over streamable HTTP transport.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_pair | Get the current exchange rate between two specific currencies (e.g., USD to EUR). Returns the conversion rate. Use for single currency pair lookups. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"exchangerate": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/exchangerate/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Exchangerate data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
