MyAurum — India Prices MCP Server

Free MCP server that lets Claude Desktop (and any other MCP-aware client) answer questions about today's gold, silver, and platinum prices in India. No signup. No API key. No rate limit.

"What's the gold rate in INR today?"
"Is ₹78,000 a fair price for a 10g 22K bangle?"
"What's silver per kg today?"

Install

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mya-prices": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@myaurum-app/india-prices-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see five new tools appear in the tools menu.

What you can ask

• "What are today's bullion rates?" — calls get_bullion_rates
• "Gold rate in INR for 22K?" — calls get_gold_price
• "How much is silver per kg?" — calls get_silver_price
• "Platinum price today?" — calls get_platinum_price
• "Is ₹95,000 fair for a 12g 22K chain with 14% making charge?" — calls check_jewellery_fair_price

Tools

| Tool | What it does | |---|---| | get_bullion_rates | All current rates (gold/silver/platinum) in all 5 currencies (INR/USD/AED/GBP/EUR) | | get_gold_price | Gold at a chosen purity (24K–9K) in a chosen currency | | get_silver_price | Silver per gram and per kg in a chosen currency | | get_platinum_price | Platinum per gram in a chosen currency | | check_jewellery_fair_price | Given weight, karat, and making charge, returns a fair-price benchmark — optionally compared against the jeweller's quote |

Where the data comes from

• Indian rupee prices prefer the IBJA benchmark — the rate Indian jewellers actually price against. The IBJA endpoint is polled and cached centrally; this MCP server reads the cached value via MyAurum's public prices endpoint.
• International spot prices (used for all other currencies, and as an IBJA fallback) come from established bullion price feeds, refreshed every 5 minutes.
• FX rates for USD/AED/GBP/EUR conversion are updated on the same cadence.

The fair-price calculation includes:

• The metal value (live rate × weight × purity factor)
• A making charge percentage
• 3% GST (when currency is INR — applies to Indian retail)

It does not include hallmarking fees (~₹45/piece), wastage, or stone/bead charges. Real bills may differ — always ask for an itemised invoice.

Privacy

This server makes one HTTP request per tool call to https://myaurum.app/api/prices (a public endpoint). It does not log, store, or transmit anything about you, your queries, or your usage. It does not require any account.

Descriptive only

The check_jewellery_fair_price tool returns a benchmark estimate and a fairness verdict. It does not recommend whether to buy. Whether a piece is worth its price depends on craftsmanship, brand, design, and personal preference — none of which a calculator can judge.
