## MCP tools (4)

### `get_exchange_rate` (~179 tokens)

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".

Input parameters:

- `currency` (string, required): ISO 4217 base currency code (USD, EUR, GBP, SEK, ...).
- `end_period` (string): End date (YYYY-MM-DD).
- `last_n` (number): Return only the last N observations (default 1).
- `start_period` (string): Start date (YYYY-MM-DD). Overrides last_n if set.

### `get_policy_rate` (~114 tokens)

Norges Bank's current key policy rate (the sight deposit rate paid on banks' reserves): the rate, the date it took effect, the previous rate, and when that one took effect, plus recent decision history. Computed from the daily policy-rate series, so it reflects the most recent rate-setting meeting. history is how many past rate changes to include (default 5, max 20).

Input parameters:

- `history` (number): How many past rate changes to include in decision_history (default 5, max 20).

### `get_series` (~200 tokens)

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). For the current policy rate specifically, use get_policy_rate instead of guessing an IR key. Use list_flows to see available flow references.

Input parameters:

- `end_period` (string): End period (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY).
- `flow_ref` (string, required): Flow reference — EXR, IR, GOVT_KEYFIGURES, GOVT_GENERIC_RATES.
- `key` (string): Series key: dot-separated dimension values (empty positions = wildcard). Optional; omit for the whole flow.
- `last_n` (number): Return only the last N observations.
- `start_period` (string): Start period (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY).

### `list_flows` (~60 tokens)

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.

## Common questions

### What is the Norges Bank MCP server?

Norges Bank is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/norges-bank. Norges Bank (Norway's central bank) MCP, exchange rates, interest rates, and government debt key… This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-norges-bank).

### Is the Norges Bank MCP server safe to use?

Norges Bank scores 83 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Norges Bank MCP server expose?

Norges Bank exposes 4 tools: get_exchange_rate, get_policy_rate, get_series, list_flows. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 553 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Norges Bank MCP server still maintained?

Norges Bank is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Norges Bank MCP server under?

Norges Bank declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Norges Bank MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Norges Bank, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
