Integration

CurrencyBeacon integration

CurrencyBeacon (formerly CurrencyScoop) provides foreign exchange rates for over 160 world currencies. Get the latest rates for a base currency, the rates on any past date back to 1996, convert an amount between two currencies at the current or a past rate, read daily rates over a date range (Startup and Professional plans only), and list the supported currencies. A base currency other than USD needs a plan with base currency switching. Authentication is a CurrencyBeacon API key sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in CurrencyBeacon.Built from the 5 CurrencyBeacon tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with CurrencyBeacon

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Exchange rate, 3 operations

get_historical_ratesGet historical ratesGETReturns the exchange rates of the base currency on one past date, back to 1 January 1996. Useful for accounting, audits and reconciliation.
get_latest_ratesGet latest ratesGETReturns the current exchange rates of the base currency against every supported currency, or only those in symbols. Rates refresh at your plan's frequency (hourly on Free, every minute on Startup).
get_timeseries_ratesGet timeseries ratesGETReturns daily exchange rates of the base currency between two dates. Startup and Professional plans only (other plans get HTTP 403); the longest range depends on the plan (typically 365 days).

Currency, 2 operations

convert_currencyConvert currencyGETConverts an amount from one currency to another at the current mid-market rate, or at the rate of a past date when date is given. The converted amount is response.value.
list_currenciesList currenciesGETLists every currency CurrencyBeacon supports, with its full name, symbol and ISO code. Use it to check a code before asking for rates or to fill a currency picker.

Use CurrencyBeacon from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect CurrencyBeacon in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its CurrencyBeacon operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
