- 02Query a single currency's rate history
- 03Get PLN price per gram of pure gold
- 04Query by date or date range
Use cases
- 01Compare PLN rates across currencies
- 02Track historical rates for one currency

MCP support
As an MCP server, it exposes tools for National Bank of Poland rate tables, individual currency rates, and gold prices. Clients can connect through the Pipeworx gateway or local stdio.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEmcp-nbp-pl
Narodowy Bank Polski (National Bank of Poland) Web API MCP. Keyless.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1683+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
exchange_rate_table | Full NBP exchange-rate table of PLN rates for many currencies at once. Pick a table: A = major currencies (mid-rate), B = other/minor currencies (mid-rate), C = bid/ask trading rates for the major set. Rates are PLN per 1 unit of each currency (per 100 for some minor units). Defaults to the latest published table; optionally pass a single date (YYYY-MM-DD) or last_n for the N most recent tables. Weekends/Polish holidays have no data (404). |
currency_rate | PLN exchange rate for one currency over time. Specify the table (A/B for mid-rate, C for bid/ask) and a 3-letter ISO 4217 code (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, JPY). Defaults to the latest rate; optionally pass a single date, last_n recent points, or a start_date/end_date window (max ~93 days, working days only). Use this for one currency; use exchange_rate_table for the whole list. |
gold_price | NBP accounting price of gold (cena złota): PLN per 1 gram of pure gold (1000 fineness). Defaults to the latest published price; optionally pass a single date, last_n recent points, or a start_date/end_date window (max ~93 days, working days only). Weekends/Polish holidays have no data (404). |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"nbp-pl": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nbp-pl/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nbp-pl/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 1683+ 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/exchange_rate_table \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"table":"A"}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/exchange_rate_table. 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": {
"nbp-pl": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-nbp-pl"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-nbp-pl
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 Nbp Pl 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.
