Frequently asked questions
Can I convert currencies using rates from a specific past date?
Yes. Use the convert_currency tool and provide the date parameter in YYYY-MM-DD format to perform historical conversions.
How do I limit the results to only specific currencies?
When using get_latest_rates or get_historical_rates, use the symbols parameter to provide a comma-separated list of currency codes (e.g., 'EUR,GBP,JPY').
What is the maximum range for time-series data?
The get_timeseries tool typically supports a range of up to 365 days between the start_date and end_date parameters.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
