@apogeoapi/mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ApogeoAPI — geographic data, live exchange rates, and IP geolocation for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

What it does

This server exposes ApogeoAPI's REST endpoints as tools that AI assistants can call directly. Ask Claude "What is the current USD rate for Argentina?" or "Geolocate IP 8.8.8.8" and it will call the right tool automatically.
