Bank of Russia Rates MCP server
by atomno-mcp
Lets your AI look up official Russian ruble exchange rates, the key interest rate, and inflation from the Bank of Russia.
This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to public data from the Bank of Russia (the country's central bank). It gives you official currency rates, the key interest rate, and inflation numbers without you having to dig through the bank's website. It is handy if you work with Russian rubles, prices, or economic reports and want quick answers in plain chat.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside source. This particular helper connects your AI to the Bank of Russia's public data pages. So when you ask about a rate or inflation, your AI can go and fetch the current official number for you instead of guessing.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question, like what the euro rate was on a certain date. Your AI passes that question to this helper. The helper then contacts the Bank of Russia's public data pages and pulls back the official numbers. Your AI reads the answer and shows it to you in the chat, usually as a short list or a small table. You do not need an account or a password for any of this.

Try asking your AI
- “What was the official euro rate on April 25, 2024?”
- “Show me the daily US dollar to ruble rate for the last 90 days.”
- “What is the current key interest rate in Russia?”
- “Give me the latest key rate, dollar, euro, yuan, and inflation in one summary.”
What it gives back to you
You get back plain answers in the chat: a single rate for a date, a list of daily rates, a series of key rate values, or monthly inflation percentages. The snapshot tool returns a short combined view with the key rate plus the dollar, euro, and yuan rates and inflation. Everything comes as text you can read right away, and you can ask your AI to turn it into a table or a simple chart.
Before you start
What you need

Good to know
The data comes from public Bank of Russia pages and is unofficial, so if the bank changes its website layout, some answers may stop working until the helper is updated.
