Overview

Boe Uk MCP server connects AI clients to the Bank of England Interactive Statistical Database (IADB). It provides tools for retrieving arbitrary supported series by code, checking Bank Rate decision history, and reading recent SONIA, USD/GBP, and EUR/GBP observations. The server is available through a hosted streamable-HTTP endpoint or an npm stdio bridge that forwards requests to the Pipeworx gateway. Reach for it when an agent needs structured UK interest-rate or currency data for analysis, reporting, or financial workflows.

Use cases

  • Check the latest Bank Rate and recent decision history
  • Retrieve SONIA observations for a date range
  • Track USD/GBP or EUR/GBP spot-rate movements
  • Fetch multiple Bank of England series as structured JSON

Key features

  • Query IADB series by code and date range
  • Return Bank Rate effective dates and decision history
  • Read recent SONIA observations
  • Read USD/GBP and EUR/GBP spot rates
  • Use hosted HTTP or local stdio connectivity

How Boe Uk works

What Boe Uk does

Boe Uk exposes selected Bank of England Interactive Statistical Database (IADB) data through the Model Context Protocol. Its main coverage is the official Bank Rate, SONIA, the USD/GBP spot rate, and the EUR/GBP spot rate. The server is an independent integration and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the Bank of England.

The general-purpose get_series tool accepts one or more BoE series codes and a date range, then returns parsed JSON with observations containing dates and values. Known examples include IUDBEDR for Bank Rate, IUDSOIA for SONIA, XUDLUSS for USD/GBP, and XUDLERS for EUR/GBP.

Tools and capabilities

  • get_series retrieves one or more IADB series over a requested period.
  • bank_rate returns the latest Bank Rate, its effective date, the preceding rate and effective date, recent decision history, and the latest daily observations.
  • sonia returns the latest requested number of SONIA observations, newest first.
  • usd_gbp returns recent USD/GBP spot rates, expressed as US dollars per pound.
  • eur_gbp returns recent EUR/GBP spot rates, expressed as euros per pound.
  • list_known_series maps the pack's friendly series names to their IADB codes.

The convenience tools avoid requiring callers to know a series code for the four covered datasets. Use list_known_series when selecting among those codes, or use get_series when a date-bounded query or multiple series is needed.

How it works

A hosted connection is available at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/boe-uk/mcp. The same gateway also offers a full endpoint at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp; the Boe Uk endpoint lists the pack's tools directly while gateway-wide meta-tools may also be exposed. ask_pipeworx can route a plain-language question to an appropriate tool when meta-tools are enabled or when using the gateway's routing capabilities.

For clients without MCP support, the gateway provides HTTP tool calls under /v1/tools/, including the boe_uk_get_series endpoint. The request body contains arguments such as series_codes and from.

Setup and configuration

MCP clients can connect directly to the hosted endpoint. The npm package @pipeworx/mcp-boe-uk provides a local stdio bridge that clients launch with npx; it still requires network access and does not provide offline operation.

Anonymous calls are available with a daily limit of 50 calls. A free Pipeworx account and PIPEWORX_API_KEY increase the allowance to 200 calls per day. The key is sent as a Bearer token. The stdio bridge lists the Boe Uk pack tools by default; setting PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 also exposes the gateway-wide meta-tools. When operating behind an HTTPS proxy, Node's proxy support may require NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 on compatible Node versions.

Limitations and notes

Results depend on network access to the Pipeworx gateway and the upstream IADB data. The convenience tools cover four named series; other IADB queries require a valid BoE series code. The pack endpoint also exposes shared gateway tools, so its complete tool list can be larger than the five pack-specific capabilities described here. Hosted and npm connections reach the same gateway and data sources.

The package is released under the MIT license.

Frequently Asked Questions about Boe Uk

Boe Uk is an MCP server that connects AI clients to the Bank of England Interactive Statistical Database. Its main tools retrieve IADB series, report Bank Rate changes and decision history, and return recent SONIA, USD/GBP, and EUR/GBP observations as structured data.

Install it by adding the hosted MCP URL or launching `npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-boe-uk` as a stdio server. The npm bridge forwards requests to the Pipeworx gateway, so it requires network access. An API key is optional for anonymous use.

Yes, Boe Uk works with Cursor through the hosted MCP endpoint or its npm stdio bridge. Add the server configuration to Cursor's MCP settings and use the pack's tools for Bank of England series and rate data.

Use `get_series` with one or more IADB series codes and a date range. For common datasets, call `bank_rate`, `sonia`, `usd_gbp`, or `eur_gbp`; call `list_known_series` to see the supported friendly names and codes.
