Use with your AI assistant
Connect Sphera Credit Data to your assistant once. It can then chart and analyze these series, and every value it quotes carries its source and date. The catalogue is open. Pulling a history asks you to sign in with your work email, and access is free.
Copy the prompt below and paste it into your AI assistant. The assistant adds the Sphera Credit Data connector for you, or walks you through the steps when it cannot.
Prompt for your AI assistant
Add the Sphera Credit Data MCP server to this assistant, so you can answer my questions with Canadian rate data from the Bank of Canada. Server name: Sphera Credit Data Server URL: https://data.spheracredit.com/mcp Type: remote MCP server over HTTP with OAuth sign-in. It needs no API key. More information about the tools, the data series and Sphera Credit is on this page: https://www.spheracredit.com/en/resources/data/mcp Browse it first, so you understand what Sphera Credit is and how this server helps me. If you cannot browse the web, continue without it. I came from the page of the series USD/CAD exchange rate (series id: usd-cad). Once you are connected, start with this series. Then follow these steps: 1. If you can add MCP servers yourself, add this one now. Tell me what you change. - Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http sphera-data https://data.spheracredit.com/mcp - Codex: codex mcp add sphera-data --url https://data.spheracredit.com/mcp - Any other tool: use your own way to add a remote HTTP MCP server with the URL above. 2. If you cannot add it yourself, tell me how to add it in this app, one numbered step at a time, with the exact URL above. If you are not sure of the steps for this app, use the steps on the page above. Do not guess a different URL. 3. The first time you pull a rate history, a sign-in page opens. I sign in myself on that page. Do not enter my details or the emailed code for me. 4. When it is connected, call list_series to check that it works. Then tell me in two or three sentences what you can now do for me. Always give the source and the date of each value you quote.
Then ask: “Chart usd-cad since 2024 and explain how it is calculated.”
