BCRA — Argentine Central Bank public data (exchange rates, inflation, reserves)

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyFinanceData & Analytics

Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant query Argentine Central Bank public data such as exchange rates, inflation, reserves, interest rates and cheque validation.

What you can do
Wraps the BCRA public API and exposes 16 tools for Argentine monetary and financial data. Tools cover official exchange rates and currency catalogs, historical currency quotes, monetary variables and their series, UVA, monetary base, international reserves, reference interest rates, inflation, BADLAR, TM20 and LELIQ rates, plus cheque entity lookup and cheque validation. It runs locally over stdio and can optionally serve HTTP.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs Argentine exchange rates, inflation figures, reserves, interest rates or cheque status checks, for example in finance, accounting or reporting work involving Argentina. Not needed if you only work with non-Argentine data.
Requirements
Runs as a local process via npm package @codespar/mcp-bcra over stdio; Node.js is needed to run it. No credentials or API keys are required, and no environment variables are declared as mandatory. Optional variables MCP_HTTP and MCP_PORT enable and configure HTTP transport. Network access to the BCRA public API is required.
Before you install
The server reads public data only and requires no secrets. It makes outbound HTTPS requests to the BCRA public API, so queries leave your machine. The README notes rate limits may apply. Optional MCP_HTTP and MCP_PORT settings expose an HTTP listener, which should be bound and firewalled deliberately. Cheque validation results reflect reported data and should not be treated as authoritative.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Auth

No authentication required. The BCRA API is publicly available. Rate limits may apply.

API Reference

Authentication

BCRA's Estadísticas Cambiarias and Variables APIs are public — no API key, OAuth token, or signed request required. The MCP server makes plain HTTPS GETs to api.bcra.gob.ar.

If your organization fronts the BCRA endpoints with a corporate gateway that requires auth, set the gateway's URL via the network egress policy and tunnel through it; the MCP server itself doesn't need credential plumbing.

Enterprise

Need governance, budget limits, and audit trails for agent payments? CodeSpar Enterprise adds policy engine, payment routing, and compliance templates on top of these MCP servers.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
