# Central Bank of Iran

Read-only Central Bank of Iran (cbi.ir): official FX rates, inflation, policy rates, news.

The tools below come from the `cbi-mcp` MCP server. If they are not available, install it with `claude mcp add cbi -- uvx cbi-mcp`, or add `"cbi": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["cbi-mcp"]}` to the client's MCP servers config. It needs [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). Restart the session after installing.

## Rules

- Prices are Toman. Convert before comparing with a Rial figure from anywhere else.
- Read-only: no login, basket, booking, order or payment. Give the user the link to finish on the site.
- Keep request rates low. These are undocumented site APIs that can change or rate-limit.
- On timeouts or HTTP 403 outside Iran, set `CBI_MCP_PROXY` to an HTTP proxy with an Iranian IP.
- Exchange rates are Rial per currency unit (`per_units`: JPY 100, KRW 1000), not Toman. Dates are Jalali.
