CurrencyScoop for AI agents
CurrencyScoop provides real-time and historical exchange rates for fiat and cryptocurrencies, letting an app convert amounts or chart currency values. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

How CurrencyScoop connects.
Users add their CurrencyScoop api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
The same CurrencyScoop connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

Which CurrencyScoop actions can my agent take?
5 in total: 5 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I make my agent read-only in CurrencyScoop?

Can my own backend call CurrencyScoop too?
