ExchangeRate-API supports over 160 world currencies. You can use the `list_supported_currencies` tool to see the full list of available codes and their corresponding names.

Can I perform a direct conversion between USD and EUR with a specific amount?

Yes! Use the `convert_currency_pair` tool and provide 'USD' in the `from` parameter, 'EUR' in the `to` parameter, and your desired amount. The agent will calculate the result based on the latest rates.

ExchangeRate-API + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating ExchangeRate-API MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call ExchangeRate-API tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
