How do I find the right code for a dataset?

Use the list_dataflows capability to see a full list of available codes like EXR or BSI.

What kind of data can I get from the ECB?

You can access exchange rates, financial market data, balance sheet items, interest rates, and payment statistics.

Do I need to manage my own API keys for the ECB?

No, Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the connection for you.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

Any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

Is this data real-time?

The MCP pulls directly from the ECB statistical catalog, so you get the most recent data published by the bank.

SDMX (Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange) is an international standard for exchanging statistical data. The ECB, Eurostat, IMF, World Bank, and other institutions use SDMX for their APIs. Data is organized in dataflows → dimensions → observations.

Do I need an API key to access this data?

No, the ECB Statistical Data Warehouse public API is completely open and free. There is no authentication or token required to fetch any of the datasets provided.

How often is the statistical data updated?

The data is updated in real-time according to the ECB's official publishing schedule. Daily exchange rates typically update around 16:00 CET.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Capability set01 / 01

01-02

2 capabilities in this set.

Part of 2 available through European Central Bank.

01
List dataflows
This capability provides a complete catalog of all available ECB datasets. It returns the specific codes, such as EXR or BSI, that you need to perform deeper queries.
02
Query ecb data
This capability pulls specific data from any ECB dataset using SDMX series keys. You provide a dataflow code and a key to get the exact statistical values you're looking for.

Real work

What teams actually run

Currency Monitoring

Monetary Policy Research

A researcher pulls M3 aggregate data to study eurozone liquidity trends.

Interest Rate Tracking

A user queries MFI interest rates to compare current market conditions against historical data.

Banking Supervision

Automate a task

Put European Central Bank to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

European Central Bank works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put European Central Bank to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of European Central Bank, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with European Central Bank. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
