What is MCP Server: ECB?

MCP Server: ECB is an Apify-hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets an AI agent pull live data straight from the ECB Data Portal: euro foreign-exchange reference rates, the ECB key interest rates, euro area HICP inflation, the euro area government bond yield curve, and any other ECB SDMX series. The ECB API is open, free, and needs no key, so this MCP server is fast and cheap to call inside an agent loop.

Tools available

• exchange_rate — EUR reference rate vs a currency (USD, GBP, JPY, CHF, CNY...), latest value plus history.
• policy_rates — the three ECB key interest rates: main refinancing operations (MRO), deposit facility, marginal lending facility.
• series_data — generic escape hatch: fetch ANY ECB series by dataflow id + SDMX key (e.g. flow=EXR, key=D.GBP.EUR.SP00.A), with date-range filtering.
• search_dataflows — list/search the ECB dataflow catalogue (datasets) by id or name.
• yield_curve — euro area AAA government bond spot yield curve, latest yield per maturity (3M to 30Y).
• inflation_hicp — euro area HICP inflation, annual rate of change, monthly history.
• list_tools — free discovery endpoint (returns the full tool catalog, no charge).

Use cases

• Finance & fintech AI agents — give Claude/Cursor live FX and rate data for analysis, alerts, or report generation.
• Macro research automation — chain policy_rates, yield_curve and inflation_hicp inside an agent to summarize euro area monetary conditions.
• FX conversion & enrichment — resolve EUR cross-rates on demand from the official ECB reference fixing.
• Data pipelines — pull any ECB SDMX series via series_data without writing an SDMX client.

Pricing

PAY_PER_EVENT — $0.01 per tool-call (= $10.00 per 1,000 calls). list_tools is free. One call may fetch several ECB series (e.g. yield_curve, policy_rates) and is still charged once.

Data source

ECB Data Portal API — official, open, no authentication. SDMX-JSON for data, SDMX 2.1 for the dataflow catalogue. This actor flattens the nested SDMX response into clean {date, value} records so your agent does not have to.
