Norges Bank MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents direct access to Norges Bank's open data API. Exchange rates, policy rate, government securities, money market data, bank liquidity, and the Regional Network survey.
Built by Gervi Labs as part of an effort to create MCP servers for Norwegian public data sources.
What it does
This server exposes tools for querying data from Norway's central bank, including:
- Exchange rates for 40+ currencies against NOK (daily, monthly, annual)
- Policy rate (styringsrenten), overnight lending rate, and reserve rate
- Nowa (Norwegian overnight weighted average rate)
- Government securities: prices, yields, zero-coupon curves
- Government debt key figures and primary/secondary market data
- Bank liquidity forecasts and statistics
- Money market aggregates
- Regional Network enterprise survey data
- Financial indicators
All data comes from Norges Bank's public SDMX REST API at https://data.norges-bank.no/api/. No authentication required. Data is freely available under open license.
