VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableFinance

Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server from an Irish gold and silver buyer offering live metal prices, payout estimates, and free postal pack orders.

What you can do
It connects an assistant to Liffey Metals, described as Ireland's most trusted gold and silver buyer. According to the description, it provides live prices, payout estimates for items being sold, and the ability to order free postal packs. No individual tools are listed in the supplied material.
When to use it
Worth considering when someone wants an assistant to check current gold or silver prices, estimate what a sale might pay out, or arrange a free postal pack for sending items to the buyer. It is aimed at people dealing with a precious-metals buyer in Ireland.
Requirements
It is a remote streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.liffeymetals.com; nothing needs to be installed locally. The manifest declares no authentication, no environment variables, and no headers, so no credentials appear to be required. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
The description mentions payout estimates and ordering postal packs, so the server may support actions that commit to a transaction or share personal details such as a postal address. No authentication is declared, so treat any account or identity handling with care. Confirm prices and payouts independently before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Liffey Metals in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.TheOyster%2Fliffey-metals/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

request_postal_pack

Order a free postal pack (Bosca) for the user

Orders a free insured postal pack for a person at a Republic of Ireland address and returns the Bosca number. This is the real order: the request is created when you call it, and for gold lots within the postal limits the pack is posted to the address given with no further step from the person. Silver, mixed lots, bullion and lots over 2,000 euro are registered and arranged on WhatsApp instead; the response says which happened. The person gets a receipt email with a single-use cancel link. Before calling: have the person's name, full address with Eircode, email, phone, what they are sending (gold, silver or mixed) with a rough description and rough value, their agreement to be contacted, and their agreement to the terms statement in accepts_terms. Explain the process first (get_postal_pack_info): items weighed and XRF tested on camera, an itemised offer at the live published rate on the day of testing (no payout is promised), free tracked return if they decline, insured in transit up to 2,000 euro, paid by bank transfer the same day they accept, one photo ID checked before payment. Lots worth more than 1,000 euro can be brought to us in person in Dublin, by appointment, and tested while you watch; message us on WhatsApp to arrange a time. Smaller lots go by post. Do not collect or pass ID documents. Errors name the field to fix.
