mcp-norges-bank

Norges Bank (Norway's central bank) MCP — exchange rates, interest rates,

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`get_exchange_rate`	Latest (or last N) Norges Bank exchange rate for a currency against the Norwegian krone (NOK). The value is how many NOK one unit of the base currency buys (e.g. USD → ~9.25 NOK). Builds the EXR series key B.{CURRENCY}.NOK.SP (business-day spot). currency is the ISO 4217 code, e.g. "USD", "EUR", "GBP", "SEK", "JPY".
`get_series`	Generic SDMX data fetch from any Norges Bank flow. key is dot-separated SDMX dimension filters; leave a position empty to wildcard it. Examples: flow_ref="EXR", key="B.USD.NOK.SP" (daily USD→NOK spot); flow_ref="IR" (all interest-rate series). Use list_flows to see available flow references.
`list_flows`	List the four Norges Bank SDMX data flows available in this pack (EXR exchange rates, IR interest rates, GOVT_KEYFIGURES, GOVT_GENERIC_RATES) with each flow's dimension order, an example series key, and usage notes.

Quick Start

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

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

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/norges-bank/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 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

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 Norges Bank data" })

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