Ecb MCP

European Central Bank data for AI agents. Exchange rates, interest rates, yield curves, inflation, money supply, and 100+ more datasets from the ECB - directly inside Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client. Its 8 documented tools cluster into read & search, convert, explain. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

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

01 · Install Ecb MCP

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add scka-de-ecb-mcp -- npx -y ecb-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scka-de-ecb-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ecb-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package ecb-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.scka-de is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Ecb MCP lets an agent do.

6 tools - e.g. EUR reference rates for 40+ currencies. Daily, monthly, or annual. The same rates used by European institutions and businesses.; The ECB's key policy rates - the ones that move markets and drive eurozone…

Convert

1 tool - e.g. Convert any amount between currencies using official ECB reference rates. Supports EUR-direct, inverse, and cross-currency conversions (e.g., USD to GBP via EUR

Explain

1 tool - e.g. Understand any ECB dataset's structure - its dimensions, valid values, and how to query it. This is the key to unlocking the full 100+ datasets beyond the built
