Implementation Reference

• src/frankfurter_forex_mcp/tools/base_quote.py:9-35 (handler)

  Core handler function that executes the base_quote tool. Calls Frankfurter API's latest endpoint, validates response payload, extracts rates for target currencies, and returns structured output.

  async def execute(input_data: BaseQuoteInput, client: FrankfurterClient) -> BaseQuoteOutput:
      payload = await client.latest(base=input_data.base, targets=input_data.targets)
      payload_rates = payload.get("rates", {})
      payload_date = payload.get("date")
  
      if not isinstance(payload_rates, dict):
          raise FrankfurterClientError("Frankfurter API returned malformed rates payload")
      if not isinstance(payload_date, str):
          raise FrankfurterClientError("Frankfurter API returned malformed date payload")
  
      rates: dict[str, float] = {}
      for currency in input_data.targets:
          value = payload_rates.get(currency)
          if value is not None:
              try:
                  rates[currency] = float(value)
              except (TypeError, ValueError) as exc:
                  raise FrankfurterClientError("Frankfurter API returned non-numeric rate") from exc
  
      if not rates:
          raise FrankfurterClientError("Frankfurter API returned no rates for requested targets")
  
      return BaseQuoteOutput(
          base=str(payload.get("base", input_data.base)),
          date=date.fromisoformat(payload_date),
          rates=rates,
      )

• src/frankfurter_forex_mcp/server.py:28-45 (registration)

  MCP tool registration with @mcp.tool decorator. Wraps the execute function, creates FrankfurterClient, handles validation errors and upstream errors, returns JSON response.

  @mcp.tool(name="base_quote")
  async def base_quote_tool(base: str, targets: list[str]) -> dict:
      """Get latest exchange rates from one base currency to multiple target currencies."""
      try:
          input_data = BaseQuoteInput(base=base, targets=targets)
          async with FrankfurterClient.from_env() as client:
              output = await base_quote.execute(input_data, client)
          return output.model_dump(mode="json")
      except ValidationError as exc:
          return _to_error(str(exc), tool="base_quote", error_code="validation_error")
      except FrankfurterClientError as exc:
          return _to_error(str(exc), tool="base_quote", error_code="upstream_error")
      except Exception:
          return _to_error(
              "Unexpected internal error",
              tool="base_quote",
              error_code="internal_error",
          )

• src/frankfurter_forex_mcp/models/schemas.py:12-45 (schema)

  Input validation schema (BaseQuoteInput) with field validators for normalizing currency codes, validating 3-letter ISO 4217 format, deduplicating targets, and ensuring base currency is not in targets.

  class BaseQuoteInput(BaseModel):
      model_config = ConfigDict(str_strip_whitespace=True)
  
      base: str = Field(min_length=3, max_length=3, default="EUR")

      @classmethod
      def normalize_base(cls, value: str) -> str:
          value = _normalize_currency(value)
          if len(value) != 3 or not value.isalpha():
              raise ValueError("base must be a 3-letter ISO 4217 currency code")
          return value
  
      @field_validator("targets")
      @classmethod
      def normalize_targets(cls, values: list[str]) -> list[str]:
          normalized: list[str] = []

              normalized.append(currency)
  
          deduplicated = list(dict.fromkeys(normalized))
          if not deduplicated:

• src/frankfurter_forex_mcp/models/schemas.py:48-51 (schema)

  Output schema (BaseQuoteOutput) defining the structure of the response with base currency, date, and dictionary of exchange rates.

  class BaseQuoteOutput(BaseModel):
      base: str
