What is the Unit & FX Calculator MCP Server?
LLMs notoriously struggle with complex compound conversions (e.g. converting km/h to mph with specific decimal rounding). Worse, they hallucinate foreign exchange (FX) rates based on their historical training data rather than current markets. This MCP bridges that gap.
The Superpowers
- Physical Determinism: Converts length, mass, volume, temperature, and speed using the exact mathematical engine of
mathjs. Completely eliminates metric/imperial hallucination. - Live FX Rates: Uses the Frankfurter API to fetch the latest European Central Bank reference rates for absolutely precise currency conversion.
- In-Memory Edge Cache: FX rates are cached in a native V8
Mapfor 1 hour, meaning massive batch conversions run instantly without getting rate-limited.
Built-in capabilities (3)
). Pass the value, source unit, and target unit for exact mathematical conversion. Converts multiple physical units in a single deterministic pass
Deterministically converts physical units (e.g. km/h to mph, celsius to fahrenheit)using mathjs
Gets the exact foreign exchange rate between two currencies using Frankfurter API (1h cache)
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Unit & FX Calculator into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Unit & FX Calculator and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 3 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How often are currency rates updated?
Rates are fetched live and cached for exactly 1 hour.
What physical units are supported?
Length, mass, volume, temperature, and speed are fully supported via mathjs.
Can it batch convert an array of data?
Yes, the batch processor can handle large JSON arrays instantly.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
