Authentication

BCRA's Estadísticas Cambiarias and Variables APIs are public — no API key, OAuth token, or signed request required. The MCP server makes plain HTTPS GETs to api.bcra.gob.ar.

If your organization fronts the BCRA endpoints with a corporate gateway that requires auth, set the gateway's URL via the network egress policy and tunnel through it; the MCP server itself doesn't need credential plumbing.

Enterprise
