Macroeconomic and FX time-series data for AI agents: indicators, calendars, COT, forex, commodities.
Server tool list (50)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| ping | Quick health check that confirms the FXMacroData API and MCP server are reachable. Use this only if other tools fail unexpectedly — it is not needed before normal calls. |
| mcp_capabilities | Explain what the FXMacroData MCP server can do, which tools render MCP Apps, which tools return plain rows, what is public versus subscriber-only, and how to choose tools across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, and plain MCP clients. Use this when a user asks what is available, why visuals are not showing, or how to get the same result in a different interface. |
| mcp_auth_guide | Explain which authentication mode to use for FXMacroData MCP across major clients and platforms. Use this when the user asks whether to use OAuth, an API key, a bearer token, ChatGPT/OpenAI Apps, Claude/Anthropic, Microsoft/VS Code/Copilot-style clients, AstrBot, Cursor, Codex, local scripts, or CI. |
| subscribe_for_mcp_access | Open subscription options when a user needs to unlock MCP app visuals, charts, and advanced analytical tools. Returns a direct checkout path. |
| data_catalogue | List every macroeconomic indicator FXMacroData publishes for a currency, with units, frequency, and coverage/freshness metadata. ALWAYS call this first when the user asks about a country's macro data — it returns the exact `indicator` slug strings to pass to indicator_query, release_calendar, and indicator_visual_artifact. Check `coverage` before calling indicator_query; stale, partial, or unavailable rows are not suitable for real-time carry or inflation analysis. Supported currencies (lowercase 3-letter codes): AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNH, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, HUF, ILS, JPY, KRW, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, SEK, THB, TWD, USD. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| risk_sentiment | Return the global risk-on/risk-off sentiment series used for FX regime analysis. The result includes a derived composite score, regime label, component contributions, pagination, and data_quality metadata. Use this for cross-asset regime context before classifying high-beta, safe-haven, commodity, or USD-defensive FX conditions. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| macro_news | Return recent official central-bank news and press-release headlines for a currency. Use this when a report needs headline context for central-bank policy, inflation, employment, GDP, trade, fiscal, energy, or commodity narratives. The tool returns official-source headline rows and lightweight keyword-derived affected_indicators and sentiment fields when a headline is classifiable. Supported currencies: AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CZK, DKK, EUR, GBP, HKD, ILS, INR, JPY, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, PLN, SEK, USD, ZAR. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| release_calendar | Get upcoming scheduled macroeconomic release timestamps for a currency. Use this when the user asks 'when is the next CPI/GDP/payrolls/policy decision', or to plan a trade around a known release. Returns ISO-8601 announcement_datetime values in UTC plus market-local timestamps. Pass `timezone` for an additional `announcement_datetime_requested_timezone` field. Each row has a `release` string with the indicator name and a `currency` code. Unbounded calls return future releases only; do not show stale past rows unless the user explicitly asks for historical/past calendar data. Consumer-facing clients should present the returned markdown agenda or render the Release Calendar App resource; do not summarize this tool as only a row count. Pass an optional `indicator` filter to narrow to a single series. Pass optional `start_date` and `end_date` bounds when the user mentions a month, week, day, or explicit date range. Supported currencies: AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNH, CNY, COMM, DKK, EUR, GBP, HUF, ILS, JPY, KRW, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, SEK, THB, TWD, USD. Call data_catalogue(currency) for the exact indicator slugs; the `indicator` parameter below also lists them. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| release_calendar_visual_artifact | Same payload as release_calendar, but named as an explicit visual artifact tool so compatible MCP Apps clients render the interactive Release Calendar App inline. Prefer this by default when the user asks to show, display, visualize, or render a macro release calendar, especially for prompts like 'show me the AUD release calendar'. Only prefer plain release_calendar when the user explicitly asks for a raw table, JSON, exact rows, or text-only output. Pass optional `indicator`, `start_date`, and `end_date` filters when the user names a specific series, month, week, day, or date range. Pass `timezone` when the user asks for local times in a specific city or region. Supported currencies: AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNH, CNY, COMM, DKK, EUR, GBP, HUF, ILS, JPY, KRW, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, SEK, THB, TWD, USD. Call data_catalogue(currency) for the exact indicator slugs; the `indicator` parameter below also lists them. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| event_predictions | Return stored forecasts, consensus-style predictions, central-bank projections, survey forecasts, IMF forecasts, nowcasts, or FXMacroData blended predictions for macro announcements. Use this with release_calendar and indicator_query when a report needs actual-vs-consensus, prior-vs-forecast, or event-surprise context. Rows are keyed by announcement_id/date/indicator and include prediction source metadata. Supported currencies: AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNH, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, HUF, ILS, JPY, KRW, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, SEK, THB, TWD, USD. Call data_catalogue(currency) for the exact indicator slugs; the `indicator` parameter below also lists them. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| latest_announcements | Return the latest stored macroeconomic value for every available indicator in one currency. Use this for a compact current macro snapshot after data_catalogue has confirmed the currency coverage. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| announcement_changes | Poll recently ingested macro announcement changes with a resumable cursor. This is the bounded MCP-safe companion to the release-event stream: use the returned next_cursor as since on a later call instead of holding an unbounded streaming tool invocation open. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| press_releases | Return the public central-bank press-release archive for a currency without adding derived sentiment or indicator classifications. Use macro_news when a headline summary is useful; use this tool when the original official release rows matter. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| macro_factor | Return a precomputed macro factor for one currency, with optional stored component scores and source references. Use this for a documented factor value, not as a substitute for inspecting its underlying macro releases. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| fx_reference_sources | List public official FX reference-rate sources and their source policy before requesting a pair-specific intraday reference-rate series. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| fx_reference_universe | List the public FX reference-rate pair universe, optionally filtered by currency or source id. Call this before requesting an intraday reference-rate series. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| fx_intraday_reference_rates | Return subscriber intraday official FX reference-rate observations for one pair. Call fx_reference_universe first to verify pair and source availability. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| rate_curve | Return official government-nominal curve nodes, slopes, or derived forward segments for one currency. This is a subscriber data tool and preserves the endpoint's requested view and method metadata. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| rate_differentials | Return the stored or derived rate differential for one FX pair. Use the returned measure, rate type, curve family, and tenor metadata when explaining the result. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| latest_commodities | Return the latest stored value for every available commodity indicator in one response. This subscriber tool is the batch counterpart to commodities. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| forex | Get raw historical FX spot-rate rows for a currency pair (e.g. EUR/USD, USD/JPY). Prefer this tool when the user explicitly wants a plain-text table, raw rows, exact values, JSON-like data, or technical-indicator series (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, etc.) computed from spot without a chart. If the user asks more generally to show/tell/explain the last few weeks or months of a pair, prefer forex_visual_artifact instead so the client can render a chart. Daily granularity from official central-bank reference rates with full multi-year history. Supported currencies (use lowercase 3-letter codes): AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNH, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, HUF, ILS, JPY, KRW, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, SEK, THB, TWD, USD. Optional `indicators` parameter accepts a comma-separated list of technical indicator slugs to attach to each row. Supported indicator values: adx_14, atr_14, bollinger_bands, cci_20, donchian_20, ema_12, ema_20, ema_200, ema_26, ema_50, macd, macd_histogram, macd_signal, rsi_14, sma_20, sma_200, sma_50, stochastic_14_3, williams_r_14, all. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| seasonality | Get monthly return seasonality for an FX pair or XAU/USD. Use this when the user asks for seasonal patterns, month-of-year tendency, historical monthly win rate, or XAUUSD/gold seasonality. Returns monthly average return, median return, win rate, sample size, dispersion, and per-year monthly returns from stored FX or gold series. |
| indicator_query | Get a paginated historical time series of a single macroeconomic indicator for a currency, sourced directly from the official central bank or statistical agency. Use this for CPI/inflation, GDP, unemployment, policy rates, bond yields, payrolls, retail sales, PCE, PPI, trade balance, current account, money supply, and similar series. Each row returns `date` (economic reference period), `val` (numeric), and separate publication evidence. Use `as_of` for historically eligible values; current values can include later revisions. Use known_at_time_task for a complete, verified historical slice. This plain tool returns raw rows for data workflows. Use `indicator_visual_artifact` when the host should render an MCP App chart. Use `limit`, `offset`, or `page` to page through broad histories; check `pagination.next_offset` and `pagination.page_includes_latest_available` in the result. Responses default to official-source rows only; prohibited private aggregator rows are always removed. Always call data_catalogue(currency) first to get the exact indicator slug. USD indicators are free; non-USD requires API key. Supported currencies: AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNH, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, HUF, ILS, JPY, KRW, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, SEK, THB, TWD, USD. Call data_catalogue(currency) for the exact indicator slugs; the `indicator` parameter below also lists them. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| plot_visual_artifact | Build a generic MCP Apps chart from one or more FXMacroData endpoint families. Use this for arbitrary plot requests, multi-series charts, and actual-vs-consensus views that need to combine announcements with event_predictions. Supported series sources are announcements, predictions, forex, commodities, and cot. For example, plot USD policy-rate midpoint actuals against market consensus by passing one announcements series for `usd/policy_rate_midpoint` and one predictions series for `usd/policy_rate_midpoint` with `prediction_class=forecaster_survey`. This tool never fetches arbitrary URLs or runs custom chart code; it only composes approved FXMacroData API surfaces into the comparison chart app. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| indicator_visual_artifact | Same payload as indicator_query, but also returns MCP Apps metadata so compatible clients (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex, etc.) render an interactive line chart instead of a JSON dump. Prefer this by default for indicator time-series requests, especially when the user asks to show, tell, explain, compare, inspect a trend, or review a recent window. For broad histories, use the existing `limit`, `offset`, or `page` controls and inspect `pagination.next_offset` rather than retrying with arbitrary shorter windows. Only fall back to indicator_query when the user explicitly wants a raw table, plain text list, JSON, exact rows, or minimal structured data. Supported currencies: AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNH, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, HUF, ILS, JPY, KRW, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, PEN, SEK, THB, TWD, USD. Call data_catalogue(currency) for the exact indicator slugs; the `indicator` parameter below also lists them. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| forex_visual_artifact | Same payload as forex, but packaged with MCP Apps chart metadata so compatible clients render an interactive spot-rate chart inline. Prefer this by default for FX pair time-series requests, especially for prompts like 'show me AUD/USD', 'tell me the last 30 days', 'how has EUR/USD moved recently', or any request where a trend view is more useful than raw rows. Only prefer plain forex when the user explicitly asks for a table, raw values, JSON, CSV-style output, or exact row-by-row data. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| commodities_visual_artifact | Same payload as commodities, but packaged with MCP Apps chart metadata so compatible clients render an interactive commodity chart inline. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| cot_visual_artifact | Same payload as cot_data, but with MCP Apps chart metadata. By default it charts noncommercial net positioning; pass `metric` to chart another COT field. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| policy_rate_differential_visual_artifact | Build a two-series chart comparing base and quote policy-rate history to visualize the rate differential setup for an FX pair. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| macro_briefing_task | Build a compact macro briefing for a currency by combining catalogue, key macro series, release-calendar, prediction, news, risk-sentiment, COT, seasonality, and FX technical context. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send a task-augmented request. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| indicator_intel_task | Build an intelligence pack for one indicator by combining chart-ready series data, derived analytics, and nearest release timing context. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| pair_intel_task | Build an intelligence pack for an FX pair by combining policy-rate spread context, spot-rate context, and release-timing metadata. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| macro_heatmap_task | Build a cross-currency macro heatmap from indicator time series and return a matrix with latest values, recent changes, and z-scores. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. |
| policy_scenario_modeler_task | Run a policy-rate spread what-if scenario for an FX pair and estimate directional spot impact using an explicit heuristic elasticity assumption. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| macro_war_room_task | Build a multi-panel macro market cockpit that combines FX sessions, upcoming release queue, pair context, and generated risk alerts. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| event_impact_replay_task | Replay verified publication events against measured 1, 5 and 20-observation FX reference returns. Daily windows exclude the publication-day fixing; changes from previous actuals are not consensus surprises. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| quant_scenario_lab_task | Run an expanded quant-style policy scenario for an FX pair with deterministic projection, stress percentiles, and horizon assumptions. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. |
| known_at_time_task | Return the slice of a macro series that would have been known at a specific timestamp, selecting verified value vintages before pagination. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| macro_regime_classifier_task | Classify a currency's macro regime using policy rate, inflation, GDP, and unemployment context, with explicit assumptions and confidence notes. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| release_risk_score_task | Score upcoming releases for a currency pair using release-calendar proximity and indicator-level heuristics. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. |
| portfolio_risk_engine_task | Analyze a multi-position FX book for concentration, stress exposure, and event-driven catalyst risk. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. |
| fx_trade_setup_task | Build a trader-oriented FX pair setup using spot context, macro differentials, upcoming catalyst risk, and optional COT positioning. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. |
| fx_backtest_task | Run a spot-only FX backtest using historical policy-rate-differential and/or lagged momentum signals. Download complete histories, verify vintages and price coverage, and charge opening, rebalancing and closing costs. The carry signal does not include funding income or broker rollover. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. |
| macro_research_pack_task | Bundle catalogue, indicator history, next release timing, and optional FX pair context into one persistent-host-friendly research payload. Supports MCP Tasks for async execution when clients send task-augmented requests. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| prediction_coverage | List which publishers produce pre-release forecasts for a currency's indicators, what class of forecast each one is (compiled consensus, forecaster survey, market implied, model nowcast, central-bank projection), whether any of them is a genuine consensus, and how far the verified archive runs. Call this whenever the user asks whether a consensus, forecast or estimate exists for a release -- 'do you have the consensus for US CPI', 'what forecast do you have for payrolls' -- BEFORE calling event_predictions, and whenever event_predictions returns nothing or returns subscription_required. It needs no API key and works for every served currency. It returns no forecast values: those require a subscription. Its answer distinguishes the two cases a user cannot otherwise tell apart -- no publisher produces this forecast for anybody (no subscription adds it), versus the data exists and is behind the paywall. Never report a pair listed here as unavailable. Access: free for every currency, no API key required. It returns coverage metadata only; forecast values need a subscription. |
| market_sessions | Tell the user which FX trading sessions are currently open (Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York) and when the next session opens/closes. Use this when the user asks 'is the market open?', 'when does London open?', or 'which sessions overlap right now?'. Pass an ISO-8601 UTC timestamp via `at` to get the snapshot for a specific moment instead of now. Accounts for weekends and major banking holidays. |
| cot_data | Get weekly CFTC Commitment of Traders (COT) positioning data for a currency's FX futures contract on the CME. Use this when the user asks about speculator positioning, non-commercial longs vs shorts, hedge-fund FX positioning, or wants to gauge sentiment extremes. Returns weekly snapshots with long/short open interest by trader category. Updated every Friday at 15:30 ET reflecting the Tuesday cutoff. Requires an API key. Supported currencies: AUD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, JPY, MXN, NZD, USD, XAU. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| commodities | Get historical price series for supported commodity indicators using the exact slugs advertised by this schema. Requires an API key. Supported indicators: crude_oil_inventories, gold, natural_gas, natural_gas_storage, oil_brent, oil_wti, platinum, silver. Access: requires an FXMacroData API key; an anonymous call returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| financial_prices | Read persisted official financial price observations: government yield curves, individual securities, overnight benchmarks and reference prices. Preserves issuer, instrument, maturity, curve type and source precision. Requires an API key; an empty result means no stored observations for the selection. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
| official_dataset_family | Get metadata-first official dataset payloads grouped by API endpoint type. Use endpoint_type to pick the API taxonomy group and dataset to choose the specific series family. Supported endpoint types: monetary_policy, fiscal_policy, international_trade, statistics_releases. Supported datasets: auction_metrics, bop, capital_flows, cb_liquidity, credit_conditions, external_debt, fx_intervention, iip, services_trade, treasury_cash, wage_settlements. Access: USD is available without an API key; every other currency returns subscription_required with a subscribe link. |
