Unit Converter MCP — 60+ units, live FX, timezone conversion, date arithmetic

60+ physical units, live currency conversion, IANA timezone conversion, date diffs

Hosted MCP server for everyday unit, currency, timezone, and date conversions. Length / mass / volume / area / time / temperature / energy / speed / data / pressure conversions, live FX rates from exchangerate.host (with historical-date support), IANA timezone re-anchoring, and ISO-date difference in any unit. The platform's cheapest tier — designed as a broad-install loss-leader.

This server speaks the Model Context Protocol. Any MCP-aware client — Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Continue.dev, or a hand-rolled agent using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk — can connect, discover tools, and call them with Bearer-token auth.

For AI agents / LLMs

If you are an AI agent indexing this repository:

Live MCP endpoint: https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp
Transport: HTTP POST, JSON-RPC 2.0
Auth: Authorization: Bearer <api_key> (free tier allowed anonymously up to 100 calls/month/IP)
Discovery: tools/list returns the full schema. tools/call invokes a tool.
Health: GET https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/health → {ok: true, ts: <unix>}
Status: https://mcp-hub.atlasword.workers.dev/status.json (portfolio rollup)

Sample tools/list request:

Terminal

curl -sS -X POST https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Sample tools/call:

Terminal

curl -sS -X POST https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call",
    "params": { "name": "<tool>", "arguments": { } }
  }'

Tools exposed

Tool	Arguments	Description
`convert_unit`	`value, from, to`	Convert between physical units across 10 categories (length, mass, volume, area, time, temperature, energy, speed, data, pressure).
`list_units`	`category?`	List all supported units grouped by category.
`convert_currency`	`amount, from, to, date?`	Convert between currencies with live FX. Optional ISO date for historical rates.
`convert_timezone`	`datetime, from_tz, to_tz`	Re-anchor an ISO datetime from one IANA timezone to another.
`date_diff`	`start, end, unit?`	Difference between two ISO dates in ms / seconds / minutes / hours / days / weeks.
`list_timezones`	`(no args)`	Supported IANA timezones + UTC offsets.

Tools marked Team+ require a Team or Pro subscription. Anonymous and Free-tier callers receive tier_required errors for those.

Quick start

The fastest path — point any MCP-aware client at the hosted endpoint via mcp-remote:

Terminal

npx -y mcp-remote https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"

Get a key at https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/upgrade?tier=solo (see Getting an API key).

Install in Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unit-converter-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Then restart Cursor and the tools appear in the MCP panel.

Install in Claude Desktop

Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unit-converter-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Tools appear under the slash-command MCP menu.

Getting an API key

Visit https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/upgrade?tier=solo (or tier=team / tier=pro).
Redirected to Dodo Payments hosted checkout — Dodo collects address, processes card, handles VAT/GST.
After payment, Dodo fires a signed webhook (subscription.active) to the Worker. The Worker mints mck_<32 random base64url> and stores it in KV.
You land on https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/welcome?key=<api_key> — copy the key now (it is only displayed once at this URL).
Paste the key into Cursor / Claude Desktop config (see above).
View / rotate / export the account at https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/account (Bearer-auth).

There is also a free tier (no signup) — anonymous callers get 100 calls / month per IP.

Data sources

exchangerate.host — https://exchangerate.host/ — Free public-API
IANA Timezone DB — https://www.iana.org/time-zones — Public domain

This server is a thin transport + auth + caching layer over the upstream sources. Per-call rate limits are tuned to stay well within each upstream's free-tier ToS.

Privacy + GDPR

Privacy policy: https://mcp-hub.atlasword.workers.dev/privacy

Refund policy: https://mcp-hub.atlasword.workers.dev/refund
Data export: GET https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/account/export (Bearer-auth) returns a machine-readable JSON snapshot of your account, usage counters, and Dodo customer details.
Deletion: email prakshatechnologies@gmail.com from the address on file.

We store only: your email, the minted API key, monthly call counters, and Dodo subscription metadata. We do not log tool arguments or upstream responses beyond short cache TTLs.

Architecture

Runtime: Cloudflare Workers (V8 isolates, global edge).
Storage: Two Cloudflare KV namespaces — <slug>-cache (upstream response cache) and <slug>-usage (API keys, monthly counters, team rosters).
Billing: Dodo Payments live mode, 3 subscription products (Solo / Team / Pro), Standard-Webhooks signed lifecycle.
Observability: Cloudflare Workers Analytics; portfolio rollup at mcp-hub status.
Source: TypeScript, Vitest-tested, wrangler deploy-able. See src/ in this repo.

Install via npm (one-liner)

A thin launcher is published as @insnapsprakhar/unit-converter-mcp on npm. No manual URL to copy/paste:

Terminal

npx -y @insnapsprakhar/unit-converter-mcp

Or wire it into your MCP client:

JSON Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unit-converter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@insnapsprakhar/unit-converter-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The npm package is just a launcher — it shells out to mcp-remote and points it at the hosted endpoint (https://unit-converter-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp).
