# mcp-riksbank-se

Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) SWEA v1 MCP. Keyless.

Part of [Pipeworx](https://pipeworx.io) — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1866+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

## Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `list_series` | Browse/search the Riksbank SWEA catalogue of time series (interest rates and SEK exchange rates). Returns series IDs plus descriptions and available date ranges. Optionally filter by a case-insensitive substring matched against the series ID and descriptions, e.g. "policy", "rate", "EUR", or "exchange". Series IDs are string codes; well-known ones: SECBREPOEFF (policy rate, formerly repo rate), SECBDEPOEFF (deposit rate), SECBLENDEFF (lending rate), SEKEURPMI (EUR/SEK fixing), SEKUSDPMI (USD/SEK fixing), SEKGBPPMI (GBP/SEK), SEKJPYPMI (JPY/SEK). Omit query to list all (~117 series). |
| `get_observations` | Time-series observations for one series over a date range. Pass a series ID and a from/to window (dates YYYY-MM-DD). Returns an array of {date, value}. Example: seriesId "SEKEURPMI" gives the daily EUR/SEK exchange-rate fixing; "SECBREPOEFF" gives the Riksbank policy rate. Use list_series to discover IDs. |
| `latest_observation` | Most recent observation for a single series, as {date, value}. Example: seriesId "SECBREPOEFF" returns the current Riksbank policy rate; "SEKUSDPMI" returns the latest USD/SEK fixing. For the policy rate specifically, policy_rate also gives the previous rate and when it changed. |
| `policy_rate` | The Riksbank's current policy rate (series SECBREPOEFF): the rate, the date it took effect, the previous rate and when that one took effect, plus recent decision history — computed from the daily series so a caller does not have to infer the decision date from latest_observation's bare {date, value}. |
| `cross_rates` | Cross exchange rate between two SEK currency-fixing series over a date range. series1 is the base, series2 the quote; the result is series1/series2 per day. Example: series1 "SEKEURPMI", series2 "SEKUSDPMI" gives EUR/USD derived from the SEK fixings. Provide from (required) and optionally to (both YYYY-MM-DD); omit to to run through the latest date. Use SEK currency series IDs ending in "PMI" (see list_series). |

## Quick Start

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

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "riksbank-se": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/riksbank-se/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### What this endpoint actually serves

`tools/list` at `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/riksbank-se/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:

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

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1866+ 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

```bash
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/list_series \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query":"policy"}'
```

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

## Run it from npm

`@pipeworx/mcp-riksbank-se` 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/riksbank-se/mcp` endpoint shown above. It needs network access;
there is no offline mode.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "riksbank-se": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-riksbank-se"]
    }
  }
}
```

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 Riksbank Se data" })
```

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