Real-time rate lookups in Windsurf

Cascade pulls current market values instantly using `get_latest_rates`. You just describe the trade, and the agent grabs the numbers. Stop switching tabs to check forex sites. Your code gets the exact value it needs the moment Cascade runs the tool.

Automated currency conversion flows

Use `convert_currency` to handle multi-region pricing in your app logic. Cascade calculates the math based on live market conditions. This MCP server provides the raw data your agent requires to build accurate checkout components. It handles the math so your code stays clean.

Financial time-series data analysis

Run `get_timeseries` to pull a full year of trends for any pair. Cascade plots these points into your UI components automatically. Historical context helps your agent write better forecasting logic. You see the movement pattern without writing a single data-fetching function.
