Common questions

Is Central Bank of Iran safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 8 days ago, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 8 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

cbi-mcp: Central Bank of Iran (بانک مرکزی) exchange rates, inflation and policy rates MCP server for AI agents

cbi-mcp is an unofficial, read-only MCP server that gives AI agents the public data of the Central Bank of Iran (cbi.ir).

Its 8 tools read the official reference exchange rates and their history, inflation, the weekly interbank and policy rates,

the bank's news and liquidity (نقدینگی) statements, and list its reports with download links.

No API key or account is needed. It works in Claude, Cursor, Copilot and any other MCP client.

For AI agents · Quick start · What it can do · Tools · FAQ · فارسی

For AI agents

What: unofficial MCP server (model context protocol) for cbi.ir: official exchange rates (about 48 currencies, archive back to 1383), inflation by month and year, weekly interbank/standing-facility rates, news and announcements, liquidity statements, reports (Economic Trends, monthly monetary statistics, annual review).
Install: uvx cbi-mcp or claude mcp add cbi -- uvx cbi-mcp. Transport: stdio. Needs uv (Python 3.10+).
Auth: none. Optional CBI_MCP_PROXY (HTTP proxy URL); system proxy settings are ignored.
Access: read-only, no confirmation needed before calling any tool.
Tools: 11, all prefixed cb_. Typical sequences: cb_exchange_rates; cb_rate_history; cb_inflation; cb_news -> cb_news_item; cb_liquidity; cb_statistics; cb_bond_auctions; cb_policy_rates + cb_open_market.
Use when: the user asks for the official dollar/euro/dirham rate on a day, how a rate moved, Iran's inflation, interest or interbank rates, liquidity growth, or what the central bank announced.
Do not use when: the user wants the free-market (bazaar) rate, which the CBI does not publish, or a series from the CBI time-series database (tsd.cbi.ir did not answer when this was built).
Output: compact JSON. Rates are rials per currency unit (per_units: JPY 100, KRW 1000...). Dates in answers are Jalali; arguments accept Jalali (1404/01/01) or Gregorian (2025-03-21). Text is Persian.
Machine-readable: server.json.

Why

The Central Bank's site is a classic ASP.NET website: no API, one rate table per date, inflation behind a year dropdown, liquidity buried in news and Excel files. cbi-mcp reads those pages for the agent:

You: What was the official dollar rate on 1 Farvardin 1404, and what is it now?

Agent: *calls* cb_exchange_rates(date="1404/01/01", currencies=["USD"]) and cb_exchange_rates(currencies=["USD"])

579,503 rials on 1404/01/01 and 1,871,664 rials on 1405/08/09.

Real values read from cbi.ir on 2026-10-31.

What it can do

Official exchange rates for a day, today or from the archive, all currencies or a chosen few
Rate history of one currency: last 7 days in one call, or a sampled series over months or years with total change
Inflation: the 12-month rate for each month of any year since 1361 plus annual inflation back to 1316
Policy rates: weekly interbank rate, minimum repo rate and the standing lending/deposit corridor
News titles, filterable by a word, and the full text of any item
Liquidity as numbers (liquidity, money, quasi-money, monetary base with yearly growth) from the newest monthly Excel, plus the governor's latest statements
Monthly statistics tables read from the Excel files: monetary, balance of payments (foreign debt, monthly average dollar in the official, free and preferential markets), fiscal, capital market
Government sukuk auctions: offered, sold and yield per bond, every week
Open market operations: the weekly repo auction figures
Publications with PDF/Excel links: Economic Trends, monthly monetary statistics, annual economic review, interbank market review

Example prompts:

"What is the CBI's official euro rate today, and how much did it change over the last week?"
"Show the dollar rate every month since Farvardin 1404."
"What is Iran's inflation now and how did it move in 1403?"
"What did the central bank say about liquidity growth recently?"

Quick start

claude mcp add cbi -- uvx cbi-mcp

Any client: command uvx, args ["cbi-mcp"]. Behind a proxy set CBI_MCP_PROXY=http://host:port.

Tools

Tool	What it returns
`cb_exchange_rates`	Official rates of ~48 currencies for a date (default latest), optional currency filter
`cb_rate_history`	One currency over time with change %; last 7 days, or sampled between two dates
`cb_inflation`	Monthly 12-month inflation for a Jalali year and annual inflation history
`cb_policy_rates`	Weekly interbank, repo and standing-facility rates for a year
`cb_news`	News titles (id, date), optional word filter and year
`cb_news_item`	Full text and attachments of one news item
`cb_liquidity`	Liquidity, money, quasi-money and monetary base (balance, yearly growth) from the newest monthly Excel, plus latest statements
`cb_publications`	Newest Economic Trends, monthly monetary reports, annual or interbank reviews with file links
`cb_statistics`	Rows of any sheet of the monthly Excel tables: monetary, balance_of_payments, fiscal, capital_market (year, month, sheet)
`cb_bond_auctions`	Results of the newest weekly government sukuk auctions per bond: offered, sold, yield
`cb_open_market`	Weekly open market operation reports with the newest repo auction figures

FAQ

Is this the market rate? No. These are the CBI's official reference rates; the free-market rate is not published there.

Why no time-series search? The bank's series database (tsd.cbi.ir) did not answer from any network tried.

Does it read the Excel/PDF reports? The monthly Excel statistics tables (cb_statistics, cb_liquidity), the weekly repo report and the auction results are read as numbers. Other Excel and PDF reports come back as links.
