Currensor also runs as a plugin (an MCP server) for Claude and ChatGPT. Ask for a conversion in plain words and a live Currensor card appears right in the chat. Change the amount on the card and every currency updates instantly.
Plugin address:

- Free and open source: the server is in
mcp/ and runs on Cloudflare Workers

Roadmap
Why I Built This
I'm building tools with AI and learning in public. I can't write code from scratch (yet), but I can design, think through problems, and ship real products by collaborating with AI. Every project teaches me something new.
