boe-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude Code — or any MCP client — live Bank of England data: the base rate (current level, change history, statistics over any period, and the rate in force on any past date),any series from the BoE's IADB statistical database(SONIA, exchange rates, quoted mortgage rates, and thousands more, with a curated catalog to start from), and the Monetary Policy Committee meeting schedule. It runs over stdio by default (with an opt-in Streamable HTTP mode for remote hosting), needs no API key or configuration, and caches responses in memory so repeated questions don't re-hit the BoE.

Published on npm asboe-mcpwith buildprovenance— install and run it withnpx -y boe-mcp.

By default the server speaks MCP over stdio as a child process of the client. To host it remotely instead, start it in Streamable HTTP mode:

npx -y boe-mcp --http # listen on http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp npx -y boe-mcp --http 8080 # explicit port BOE_MCP_HTTP_PORT=8080 npx -y boe-mcp # env var instead of the flag

Endpoints:POST /mcp(JSON-RPC),GET /healthz(returnsok, for hosting platform health checks). The transport isstateless— every POST is served by a fresh server instance, so there are no sessions to resume and no SSE stream;GET/DELETE /mcpreturn 405. That makes instances safe to scale horizontally behind a load balancer.

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp \ -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"0"}}}'

Security: the default bind of127.0.0.1only accepts connections from the local machine, and DNS-rebinding protection (Host-header validation) is enabled automatically for loopback binds. SettingBOE_MCP_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0exposes the server, with no authentication, to every network the machine is attached to — only do that behind a reverse proxy or firewall that controls who can reach it (DNS-rebinding protection is disabled for non-loopback binds, since the server can't know the legitimate public hostname).

- Base rate: the Bank of England Statistical Interactive Database (IADB), seriesIUDBEDR, via its public CSV endpoint. No auth, no key. Honest caveat: the IADB is not officially documented as a public API — it has been stable for many years and is widely used, but the Bank makes no compatibility promises, so a breaking change is possible in principle.
- MPC dates: parsed from the BoE's publicupcoming MPC dates page. The parser deliberately avoids depending on the page's markup (it scans the visible text for dates), so cosmetic redesigns won't break it.
