About Boi Il

Boi Il exposes the Bank of Israel's public API for users tracking Israeli rates and currency data. It provides shekel exchange-rate lookups and policy-rate details without requiring an API key.

Key features

  1. 01Get representative rates for all currencies
  2. 02Look up a currency by ISO code
  3. 03View rate changes and update dates
  4. 04Query Israel's policy interest rate
  5. 05Retrieve rate decisions and next date

Use cases

  1. 01Check representative exchange rates against the shekel
  2. 02Review the current Bank of Israel policy rate
  3. 03Track rate decisions and the next scheduled date

MCP support

As an MCP server, Boi Il provides tools to query the Bank of Israel's representative exchange rates and policy interest rate. It can connect through the Pipeworx gateway or run locally over stdio.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Slugs come from list_packs / search_packs / https://pipeworx.io/directory; unlisted or unknown slugs are ignored and named in _meta.pack_scope.ignored, and if none of them resolves the question is routed across the whole catalog with _meta.pack_scope.full_catalog:true (never an empty answer).

Details

From the project README

mcp-boi-il

Bank of Israel public API MCP. Keyless.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1875+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
boi_exchange_ratesAll current Bank of Israel representative exchange rates vs the Israeli Shekel (ILS). Returns one entry per currency with currentExchangeRate (shekels per unit of the foreign currency), currentChange (% vs previous), unit (1 for most, 100 for some like JPY — per-1 rate = currentExchangeRate / unit), and lastUpdate. Use this for a snapshot of all available currencies.
boi_exchange_rateCurrent Bank of Israel representative exchange rate for a single currency vs the Israeli Shekel (ILS), by 3-letter ISO code. Returns currentExchangeRate (shekels per unit), currentChange (%), unit, and lastUpdate. Note unit (e.g. JPY is per 100). Example keys: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, CAD, AUD.
boi_interest_rateThe current Bank of Israel (BOI) policy interest rate for ISRAEL — the Israeli benchmark rate set by the Bank of Israel Monetary Committee, in % per annum. Returns rate, the date it took effect (effective_since), the previous rate and when that one took effect, plus recent decision history, sourced from the Monetary Committee's own published decisions (not just currentInterest's bare snapshot). Also returns nextInterestDate (the next scheduled decision) and lastPublishedDate. Scope: Israel only.

Quick Start

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "boi-il": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/boi-il/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/boi-il/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 1875+ 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/boi_exchange_rates \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{}'

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

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

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

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-boi-il

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

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 Boi Il data" })

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

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
