FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI update my original spreadsheet directly?

    No. The AI generates the converted data, but you must review it and save it to your files yourself.

  • 02

    Does it use historical rates or current ones?

    It uses current market rates fetched via the get_latest_rates tool.

  • 03

    Can the AI fix typos in my currency codes?

    The AI can identify errors, but it won't change your source data. It will ask you to confirm the correct code first.

  • 04

    Will it automatically buy currency for me?

    No. This MCP only handles the math and rate lookups. It cannot execute financial transactions.

  • 05

    What happens if a currency code is missing?

    The AI will stop and ask you for the missing information instead of guessing.
