What the CurrencyScoop connector can do
CurrencyScoop, powered by CurrencyBeacon, serves live and past foreign exchange rates covering both government-issued and crypto currencies through a REST API. In a type.com Space, a finance or operations team can ask Claude to convert an amount between currencies, pull a rate from a past date, or chart a time series for a currency pair everyone can review together.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting CurrencyScoop
Can Claude convert currencies with CurrencyScoop?
Yes. With a CurrencyScoop connection in a type.com Space, you can ask Claude to convert amounts, pull historical rates, or chart a trend, and the results stay in the thread for your team.
How is CurrencyScoop authenticated in type.com?
CurrencyScoop uses an API key. An admin adds it once on the connection and decides which Spaces can reach it, so it is never pasted into a prompt.
Can I get a recurring currency report?
Yes. Set up a type.com automation that asks CurrencyScoop for a rate or time series on a schedule, and the agent posts the update to a channel.
Is this the same as a CurrencyScoop MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
