v0.7.9

Docs only: README changelog trimmed to the 0.7.x line (the old 0.1–0.3 entries described key-required behaviour that no longer exists). No code change from v0.7.8.

v0.7.8

8 tools (6 keyless): live mid-market rates with a key, official rates from 121 central banks + 3 tax authorities, the Daily Reference Rate (16:00 London), and self-issued trial keys.

This release (docs only, no behaviour change)

• README: test the server with MCP Inspector
• Example prompts for every tool
• Security note for the hosted ?api_key= URL
• ChatGPT FAQ (works via the hosted endpoint) and the 401 error row corrected
• History is consistently documented as paid-plan

Since v0.3.3 (the previous GitHub release)

• 0.7.4: keyless get_exchange_rate falls back from the ECB to the issuing central bank (USD/GBP, USD/INR, …)
• 0.7.0: get_reference_rate and request_trial_key
• 0.6.0: keyless list_central_banks and get_official_rates
• 0.5.0: keyless mode — the server starts and answers without an API key

Install: npx -y @allratestoday/mcp-server · Hosted: https://allratestoday.com/api/mcp

v0.3.3 — README scrub

Cleanup release. No tool, schema, or behavior changes.

• README and Chinese README no longer reference specific free-tier request quotas — replaced with generic 'free tier' wording.
• Tool startup error message no longer cites a specific monthly number.
• Plans-and-limits table removed; users are pointed to allratestoday.com/pricing.
• Bumped from 0.3.1 to 0.3.3 (skipping 0.3.2, which only exists in the parallel 'realtime-exchange-rate-mcp' repo).

v0.3.1 — docs polish

Docs-only patch on top of v0.3.0. Code is identical; this release exists so the npm page picks up the corrected README.

What's in 0.3.0 + 0.3.1 combined

🔒 Breaking change (introduced in 0.3.0)

• All four tools now require an ALLRATES_API_KEY. Previously get_exchange_rate and list_currencies ran without one.
• The server fails fast at startup with a multi-line registration prompt if the key is missing.

📚 Docs (this release)

• README rewritten with badges, table of contents, per-client setup, full tool reference (input/output/examples), troubleshooting, error codes, and FAQ — 481 lines, production-ready
• Chinese README brought to full parity with the English version
• server.json (MCP registry manifest) corrected: marked ALLRATES_API_KEY as required, removed stale "financial news" claim
• DeepSeek-related stale references cleaned up (separate repo)
