Fetch instant USD and EUR rates in Windsurf Cascade

Let Windsurf scan your codebase for active trade logic, then trigger `get_bitcoin_price_usd` or `get_bitcoin_price_eur` to pull live CoinDesk pricing. Cascade runs these calls in the background without waiting for you to prompt each individual step. If your code requires European market validation, this MCP Server lets Cascade automatically check the exchange rate spreads. It feeds the raw numerical data directly into your active editor session.

Multi-currency conversions using this MCP Server

When you ask Cascade to calculate global exposure, it queries `list_supported_currencies` and resolves custom rates via `get_bitcoin_price_custom`. It skips the manual API setup entirely. The agent handles the currency matching logic under the hood. It maps your local database values against live BRL, JPY, or CNY feeds from CoinDesk.

Automated market validation and timestamp verification

Cascade ensures your financial calculations rely on fresh data by calling `get_latest_update_time` alongside `get_bitcoin_price_global`. It verifies the exact UTC timestamp before writing any data to your local ledger. You get clean, audit-ready logs because the agent appends the official `get_coindesk_disclaimer` directly to your generated reports.
