@pipeworx/macau-amcm

Macau monetary data from AMCM, the Monetary Authority of Macao (Autoridade Monetária de Macau / 澳門金融管理局): daily interbank FX mid-rates for the Macau pataca (MOP) against ~17 currencies, and MONIA — the MOP Overnight Index Average, Macau's overnight interbank reference rate.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1865+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

• macau_fx_rates({ begin?, end?, currency? }) — dated MOP mid-rates per currency per Macau business day. Defaults to the last 7 days ending on the most recent published date; begin/end accept YYYY-MM-DD (up to ~1 year per call), currency filters by comma-separated ISO codes ("USD,HKD,CNY").

• macau_monia({ begin?, end? }) — daily MONIA fixings in percent, same windowing.

Auth

Keyless. No registration, key or cookie — the endpoints are the same JSON API AMCM's own rate pages load their tables from.

Data sources

• https://www.amcm.gov.mo/api/v1.0/cms/financial_info?QueryType=ExchangeRate|Monia&Begin=YYYYMMDD&End=YYYYMMDD

• https://www.amcm.gov.mo/api/v1.0/cms/last_data_date?QueryType=... — most recent published date, used for the default window (publication skips weekends and Macau public holidays).

Traps for the next person

• usdMean is not a USD rate. Despite the name, usdMean/usdMeanValue is the MOP mid-rate per unit of each currency — the USD row itself reads ~8.08 (MOP per USD) and the HKD row ~1.03 (the MOP–HKD peg). Verified live 2026-09-07. This pack exposes it as mop_per_unit.

• JPY and KRW are quoted per unit = 100, everything else per 1. Read the unit field before comparing across currencies.

• bid changes meaning per row. It is a second quote in each currency's own market convention: USD per unit for EUR/GBP/AUD/NZD, units per USD for JPY/CHF/SGD/SEK/NOK/etc., CNY per 100 USD, and USD/HKD on the USD row. Exposed as market_quote with that caveat — use mop_per_unit for anything MOP-denominated.

• The FX list carries a LIQ row with unit: 0 — an AMCM liquidity indicator, not a currency. The FX tool filters it out.

• An empty window is normal, not broken: AMCM publishes only on Macau business days, so a weekend/holiday-only window returns zero rows. The tools detect that, fetch last_data_date, and return it in the response so a caller can re-ask with a real date.

• The earlier china-vertical probe (fleet #1311) assumed AMCM was XLS-download-only; the JSON API above is what the site's own pages use and needs no scraping.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "macau-amcm": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/macau-amcm/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/macau-amcm/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1865+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/macau_fx_rates \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/macau_fx_rates. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Run it from npm

@pipeworx/mcp-macau-amcm is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same https://gateway.pipeworx.io/macau-amcm/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access; there is no offline mode.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "macau-amcm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-macau-amcm"]
    }
  }
}

Without a key it calls anonymously, capped at 50 calls a day. A free account raises that to 200 a day: get a key at https://pipeworx.io/signup and add "env": { "PIPEWORX_API_KEY": "<your key>" } to the server entry. The key is sent as a Bearer token, the same way a hosted connection sends it, so calls are metered and billed exactly as they are there.

It lists only this pack's tools by default. Set PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 to also list ask_pipeworx and the other gateway-wide tools.

Behind an HTTPS proxy: Node's built-in fetch does not read HTTPS_PROXY by default. Newer Node releases honour it when NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 is set; check your Node version's documentation.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Macau Amcm data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
