Questions

What can the AI do in Riksbank SWEA?

It can list the Riksbank's series and groups, read details of a series, get the latest value or daily values of one series or a whole group, build weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly aggregates, calculate cross rates and list banking days. All tools only read.

Does the AI see my Riksbank SWEA credentials?

There are none to see. The SWEA API needs no account or API key, so you do not paste anything into PipMCP. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on. All tools here only read public interest and exchange rate data, so nothing is changed anywhere. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. The Riksbank's SWEA API itself is open and free to use.

How does the AI find the right series?

Every interest rate and exchange rate has a series ID, such as SECBREPOEFF for the policy rate or SEKEURPMI for EUR/SEK. The AI can list all series, the exchange rate series or the groups they belong to, and then use the ID for the lookup. You can just name the rate you want.
