Cursor TradeAlmanac currency_reference_rates

How to: Cursor TradeAlmanac currency_reference_rates

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:currency_reference_rates

Add TradeAlmanac to Cursor

  1. 01

    Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://tradealmanac.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

    Ask for something currency_reference_rates does. Cursor lists the server's tools on connect and calls currency_reference_rates itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that TradeAlmanac's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Use .cursor/mcp.json in a project root instead to scope it to that project. Cursor merges both. Cursor docs

Set these first

TradeAlmanac will not start until these are set, so currency_reference_rates never becomes available.

  • TRADEALMANAC_API_KEY
  • TRADEALMANAC_MCP_LANG

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 8 October 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
