Boe MCP

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude Code - or any MCP client - live Bank of England data: the base rate (current level, change history, statistics over any period, and the rate in force on any past date), any series from the BoE's IADB statistical database (SONIA, exchange rates, quoted mortgage rates, and thousands more, with a curated catalog to start from), and the Monetary Policy Committee…. Its 8 documented tools cover rate, mpc, series.

People connecting security tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Boe MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set BOE_MCP_HTTP_PORT before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add moureauf-boe-mcp -- npx -y boe-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moureauf-boe-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "boe-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
