Ask with this source
A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.
Euro area bank lending rate to households
Use European Central Bank (ecb) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Euro area bank lending rate to households" (bank-interest-rates). You want what euro area banks actually charge households for mortgages, as opposed to the ECB policy rate. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "ecb" and capability "bank-interest-rates". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
Euro reference exchange rate
Use European Central Bank (ecb) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Euro reference exchange rate" (exchange-rate). You want the official EUR rate against a currency and do not want to build an EXR series key yourself. Example options: freq=D, currency=USD. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "ecb" and capability "exchange-rate". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
Euro area GDP growth
Use European Central Bank (ecb) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Euro area GDP growth" (gdp-growth). You want euro area economic growth quarter by quarter rather than a level in euros. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "ecb" and capability "gdp-growth". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
HICP inflation rate
Use European Central Bank (ecb) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "HICP inflation rate" (inflation). You want euro-area or national inflation, headline or core, as an annual percentage change. Example options: area=U2, item=000000. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "ecb" and capability "inflation". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
