In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@movmint-fx-mcpget a quote for converting 1000 USD to EUR"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
movmint-fx-mcp
MCP server for the Movmint FX quoting and capture service. Exposes two tools (get_fx_quote, capture_fx_quote) that LLM clients can call to get live FX rates and execute trades.

Prerequisites
Node.js 20+
uvx(ships withuv) — for runningmcpowithout a permanent install
1. Install dependencies and build
cd /path/to/movmint-fx-mcp
npm install
npm run build # compiles src/ → dist/2. Option A — Claude Desktop (stdio, no proxy needed)
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"movmint-fx": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/movmint-fx-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
"CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop. The tools appear automatically in the tool picker.
2. Option B — Open WebUI + Ollama (HTTP via mcpo)
mcpo is a proxy that wraps any stdio MCP server and exposes it as an OpenAI-compatible HTTP tool server. Open WebUI can then connect to it as a tool source for any hosted model including Ollama models.
Port map (confirmed on this machine)
Service | Port |
Ollama | 11434 |
Open WebUI | 8080 |
mcpo (this server) | 8008 |
Step 1 — Create mcpo-config.json
Create mcpo-config.json at the project root (it is gitignored):
{
"mcpServers": {
"movmint-fx": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/movmint-fx-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
"CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret",
"MOVMINT_BASE_URL": "https://api.nextgen.digitalfiat.app",
"MOVMINT_TOKEN_URL": "https://api.nextgen.digitalfiat.app/oauth2/token",
"MOVMINT_TOKEN_AUDIENCE": "fx-service"
}
}
}
}Step 2 — Start mcpo
uvx mcpo --port 8008 --config /absolute/path/to/movmint-fx-mcp/mcpo-config.jsonVerify it is running:
curl http://localhost:8008/docs # OpenAPI/Swagger UI
curl http://localhost:8008/openapi.jsonStep 3 — Connect Open WebUI
Open WebUI → Admin Panel → Settings → Tools
Add tool server URL:
http://localhost:8008Open WebUI discovers
get_fx_quoteandcapture_fx_quoteautomatically via the OpenAPI specEnable the tools when starting a chat with any Ollama model
3. Development mode (watch + rebuild)
npm run dev # tsc --watch, rebuilds dist/ on every saveRun mcpo in a separate terminal; it will pick up the rebuilt dist/index.js on the next tool invocation (the Node process is spawned fresh per mcpo request).

Available Tools
2 toolscapture_fx_quoteA
Capture (execute) a previously generated FX quote using its quote_id. The quote must not have expired (valid for ~30 seconds after generation). Returns transaction details including the deposit address for funding.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| quote_id | Yes | The quote_id returned from get_fx_quote |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the critical expiration constraint and the return of transaction details including deposit address. It could mention the irreversible nature of execution, but the key traits are well-covered.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, both front-loaded with essential information: action, condition, and return value. No superfluous words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, prerequisite, constraint, and return value. It is complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description repeats the source of quote_id (get_fx_quote) already in the schema description, adding no new parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Capture (execute)' and the resource 'previously generated FX quote using its quote_id', effectively differentiating from sibling get_fx_quote.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly notes the expiration condition (~30 seconds) and the required prior step (generating a quote), providing clear context. It does not explicitly list when not to use, but the sibling relationship provides alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_fx_quoteA
Generate an FX quote for a currency pair and amount. Returns a quote_id valid for ~30 seconds that can be captured to execute the trade.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| from_currency | Yes | Source currency code, e.g. "BSD" or "USD" | |
| to_currency | Yes | Target currency code, e.g. "USDC" or "EUR" | |
| amount | Yes | Amount to convert in from_currency | |
| funding_method | No | Funding method — defaults to IMMEDIATE | IMMEDIATE |
| tx_configuration | Yes | Source/target payment configuration and reference ID. Required by the API. | |
| participants | No | KYC participants. Must include at least one ULTIMATE_ORIGINATOR and one ULTIMATE_BENEFICIARY for compliance. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the 30-second validity period, but omits other behavioral traits such as side effects, required permissions, rate limits, or what happens if the quote expires.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences containing essential information without redundancy. Key details are front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (6 parameters, nested objects, no output schema), the description is too brief. It does not explain the return structure beyond a quote_id, nor does it guide on using tx_configuration or participants fields.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'Generate', resource 'FX quote', and scope 'currency pair and amount'. It also mentions the returned quote_id with a 30-second validity and its use in execution, effectively distinguishing from the sibling tool 'capture_fx_quote'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies a sequential workflow (get quote then capture) via the phrase 'can be captured to execute the trade', but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or provide preconditions or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one generates a quote, the other executes it. No overlap or ambiguity.
Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case: get_fx_quote and capture_fx_quote.
With only 2 tools, the set is minimal but appropriate for a focused FX quote-capture workflow. Slightly thin but not unreasonable.
The core flow of getting and capturing a quote is covered, but missing operations like quote status, history, or cancellation create notable gaps.
