From the repository
Access the public, unauthenticated endpoint at https://api.currencyguard.com/mcp. Use the available tools—such as price_guard, get_spot_rate, get_forward_rate, and explain_guard_product—to price protection, view rates, and understand product details. No account setup or credentials are required.
explain_guard_product
Explain the Guard product using CurrencyGuard's approved product and FAQ content. Covers: what the Guard is, how it works, who it is for, how it compares to forwards or options, and legal, regulatory, accounting, or eligibility questions.
get_forward_rate
Get an indicative forward FX rate for a currency pair at a specific tenor. Rates are derived from interest rate differentials, rounded, and for illustration purposes only — not for execution. Returns: forwardRate (indicative mid outright = spot + forward points), forwardPoints (in pips, e.g. -3.1 means the forward rate is 3.1 pips below spot), spotMid (indicative spot mid rate for comparison), settlementDate (the resolved business date for the tenor). Negative forward points mean the forward rate is below spot; positive means above. Example: base=GBP, quote=USD, tenor=3M returns the 3-month GBPUSD indicative forward rate.
get_historic_best_worst
Analyze historic best/worst FX performance for a currency pair over a Guard's duration. Uses Bank of England historic rates. Returns a 'performances' array with 6 entries — BEST and WORST for each of three lookback periods (5, 10, 25 years). Each entry contains: type, lookbackYears, startDate/endDate, startRate/endRate, performancePercentage, startAmount, finalAmount, deltaAmount. For Guard-Pay: negative delta = cost decreased = BEST; positive delta = cost increased = WORST. For Guard-Receive: positive delta = receipt increased = BEST; negative delta = receipt decreased = WORST. Parameters must match the values used in the preceding price_guard call, including payReceive (PAY or RECEIVE).
get_spot_rate
Get an indicative spot FX rate for a currency pair. Returns rounded bid, ask, and mid rates for illustration purposes only — not for execution. Example: base=GBP, quote=USD returns the GBPUSD rate.
list_supported_currencies
List all supported currency pairs available for Guard pricing: GBPUSD, GBPEUR, and EURUSD.
price_guard
Price a Guard — CurrencyGuard's FX protection product for real future payments or receipts. If a tenor like '3 months' is given, call resolve_settlement_date first to get the exact date, then call this tool. Returns: guardType (Guard-Pay or Guard-Receive), guardRate, guardFee, guardFeePercent, effectiveRate, guardAmount (home currency equivalent), foreignAmount, spotRate, settlementDate, settlementWindowOpens, valid, errors. All quotes are indicative.
price_guard_extension
Get an indicative price for extending a Guard to a later settlement date. Estimates the additional cost using: (1) the guard fee difference between extended and original expiry, (2) the guard spread cost from the roll, and (3) the CurrencyGuard extension margin. Returns a breakdown: extensionCost = feeDifference + guardSpreadCost + extensionMargin. Both the original and extended quotes are priced at the same guard rate (the original quote's strike), so the fee difference reflects purely the longer tenor, not market movement. Use this when a customer asks 'how much would it cost to extend my Guard by X months?' Parameters match price_guard plus the two dates.
resolve_settlement_date
Resolve a relative time period (tenor) to a valid business settlement date for a currency pair. Use this when a user says '3 months', '6 months', '1 year', etc. instead of an exact date. The tenor format is: 1D (days), 1W (weeks), 1M (months), 1Y (years). Examples: '3M' = 3 months, '6M' = 6 months, '1Y' = 1 year. The returned date accounts for weekends and public holidays in both currencies' financial centres. Use the returned settlementDate as the exact date parameter for price_guard.

What is the Guard?
The Guard is an invoice-linked FX protection instrument — not a derivative, not an FX forward, not a vanilla option. It is tied to a specific payable or receivable. If the underlying payment does not occur, the Guard lapses. No margin calls, no collateral, no credit lines, no open-ended obligations. The SME pays a known premium upfront and keeps the upside if the market moves in their favour.
Tools available:
- price_guard — price protection for a specific invoice or payable
