  • 🆓 Бесплатный тариф, кредитная карта не требуется — получите ключ на unirateapi.com

  • 🧩 Четыре инструмента, полностью типизированные входные данные (схемы Zod), структурированные выходные данные

  • 🌐 Stdio + Streamable HTTP/SSE транспорты — запускайте локально или размещайте как удаленную конечную точку MCP

  • ⚡ Чистый Node 18+, единственная зависимость от @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

Зачем это нужно

Большинство рабочих процессов «валюта для ИИ» сегодня включают в себя самописные обертки fetch в пользовательских инструментах или общие HTTP MCP-серверы, которые передают модели «сырой» JSON. Этот сервер предоставляет моделям компактный, типизированный и «валютно-ориентированный» интерфейс инструментов — они спрашивают «сколько было 100 USD в EUR на 2020-03-15?» и получают обратно отформатированный ответ плюс структурированные данные, которые можно использовать в других вызовах инструментов.

Быстрый старт

1. Установка

npm install -g @unirate/mcp

Или запустите по требованию с помощью npx @unirate/mcp (без установки).

2. Получите API-ключ UniRate

Бесплатный тариф включает convert, latest_rate и list_currencies. Зарегистрируйтесь на unirateapi.com — кредитная карта не требуется.

3. Подключите к вашему MCP-клиенту

Claude Desktop

Отредактируйте ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) или %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unirate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@unirate/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "UNIRATE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Перезапустите Claude Desktop. Четыре инструмента UniRate появятся в меню выбора инструментов.

Cursor / Continue / Cline

Добавьте в вашу конфигурацию MCP (.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.continue/config.json и т.д.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unirate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@unirate/mcp"],
      "env": { "UNIRATE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" }
    }
  }
}

Из исходного кода

git clone https://github.com/UniRate-API/unirate-mcp.git
cd unirate-mcp
npm install && npm run build
UNIRATE_API_KEY=your-key node dist/index.js

4. Запуск в качестве удаленной конечной точки (Streamable HTTP / SSE)

По умолчанию сервер использует stdio, что и требуется для Claude Desktop и большинства MCP-клиентов. Чтобы разместить его как удаленную конечную точку — для совместного использования, многопользовательских развертываний или браузерных клиентов — запустите его в режиме HTTP:

UNIRATE_API_KEY=your-key unirate-mcp --http 3001
# or via env:
UNIRATE_API_KEY=your-key UNIRATE_MCP_HTTP_PORT=3001 unirate-mcp

Это открывает:

  • POST /mcp — Streamable HTTP конечная точка (с поддержкой SSE). Без сохранения состояния: новый сервер создается для каждого запроса, поэтому один и тот же процесс может обслуживать множество одновременных клиентов.

  • GET /healthz — JSON-проверка работоспособности ({ "status": "ok", "server": "unirate-mcp", "version": "..." }).

Укажите любому MCP-клиенту с поддержкой Streamable-HTTP (Claude Desktop с поддержкой удаленного сервера, Cursor remote MCP и т.д.) адрес http://your-host:3001/mcp. Для продакшена разместите его за обратным прокси-сервером с TLS.

Программные / edge-среды выполнения (Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun)

Пакет экспортирует buildServer(client), поэтому вы можете подключить его к любому транспорту, который предпочитает ваша среда выполнения. Для Workers / Deno / Bun используйте транспорт webStandardStreamableHttp из SDK с экспортированным экземпляром buildServer.

import { UnirateClient } from "@unirate/mcp/dist/client.js";
import { buildServer } from "@unirate/mcp";
// → connect to your runtime's preferred transport

Available Tools

4 tools
convertConvert currencyA
Read-only

Convert an amount from one currency to another using the latest exchange rate. Codes are ISO 4217 (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP). Supports 170+ fiat currencies and major cryptocurrencies.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
fromYesSource currency code, e.g. 'USD'
toYesTarget currency code, e.g. 'EUR'
amountYesAmount in the source currency

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds that it uses the latest exchange rate and supports 170+ fiat and crypto currencies with ISO 4217 codes, which is helpful context beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded, no redundant words. Every sentence adds value: first explains action, second defines scope and standard.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity and lack of output schema, the description covers core function, supported currencies, and code standard. Could mention precision or source but not necessary for basic use.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all three parameters. The description does not add new information about individual parameters beyond the schema's examples and hints; baseline is 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description uses specific verb 'convert' and identifies resource as currency amount using latest rate. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like historical_rate and list_currencies by focusing on conversion rather than rate lookup or listing.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies the tool is for converting amounts, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives like latest_rate (for rate only) or historical_rate. No when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

historical_rateGet historical exchange rate (Pro plan required)A
Read-only

Fetch the exchange rate that was in effect on a specific date. Date format YYYY-MM-DD. Coverage goes back to 1999-01-04 for major fiat pairs. Requires UniRate Pro — free-tier keys will receive a clear upgrade-required error.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dateYesDate in YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. '2020-03-15'
fromYesSource currency code
toYesTarget currency code
amountNoOptional amount to convert at the historical rate. Defaults to 1.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations provide readOnlyHint and openWorldHint; description adds coverage start date (1999-01-04) and error behavior for free-tier keys. Does not disclose behavior for out-of-range dates or missing data, but key behavioral context is added beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences: first states purpose, second gives format, third adds coverage and requirement. No wasted words, front-loaded with action verb. Perfect structure for quick understanding.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Lacks description of return value (e.g., what is returned if amount is provided). No output schema, so description should hint at response shape. Also, does not specify behavior for missing or invalid dates beyond coverage range. Completeness is adequate but has notable gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 100% coverage with clear descriptions. Description adds value by stating the coverage start date for the date parameter, which is not in schema. Also reinforces date format. Does not add to other parameters, but schema already sufficient.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it fetches the exchange rate for a specific date, using strong verb 'Fetch' and specific resource. Differentiates from siblings (convert, latest_rate, list_currencies) by focusing on historical data. Mentions date format and coverage range, solidifying purpose.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly notes that the tool requires UniRate Pro, including that free-tier keys will receive an error. This is a critical usage condition. Also provides date format and coverage range, helping decide when to use. Does not need to list alternatives as purpose is self-evident.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

latest_rateGet latest exchange rate(s)A
Read-only

Fetch the latest exchange rate for a base currency. If 'to' is provided, returns a single rate; otherwise returns rates for all supported currencies relative to the base.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
fromYesBase currency code, e.g. 'USD'
toNoOptional target currency. Omit to get rates for all currencies.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. Description adds scoping (base currency, single/all rates) but doesn't elaborate on data freshness, caching, or external dependencies. Adequate given annotation coverage.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loads the main action, no unnecessary words. Perfectly concise while conveying the two use cases.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given low complexity (2 params, no output schema), description is mostly complete. Could briefly mention return format (e.g., object with rates) but not essential. Agent can infer from typical usage.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema already describes both params clearly (100% coverage). Description adds value by explaining the behavioral switch when 'to' is omitted, which is not in the schema descriptions. Enhances understanding.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states 'Fetch the latest exchange rate' with distinct behaviors: single rate if 'to' provided, all rates if omitted. Differentiates from siblings through scope (latest vs. historical, conversion, currency list).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Describes when to provide 'to' vs omit, but does not explicitly compare to sibling tools like convert or historical_rate. Agent can infer from sibling names, but no direct usage guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

list_currenciesList supported currenciesA
Read-only

Return the list of currency codes supported by the UniRate API (170+ fiat plus major crypto).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and openWorldHint; the description adds the count and types of currencies, providing useful context beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that is direct and front-loaded, with no unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no parameters and no output schema, the description fully informs the agent about the tool's purpose and output.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters exist, so the schema covers 100%; baseline for zero parameters is 4, and the description omits irrelevant parameter details.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Return the list of currency codes' and specifies the scope '170+ fiat plus major crypto', distinguishing it from sibling tools for conversion and rates.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

While no explicit when-to-use guidance is given, the simple nature and clear context make it obvious this tool is for obtaining supported currencies before using other tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
