Server instructions

Modan provides live and historical African FX / remittance pricing at the provider level (e.g. GBP→NGN across named providers), benchmarked against an independent mid-market reference when available. Use get_rates for current corridor pricing, convert to compute what an amount actually delivers per provider net of fees, fetch_rates for mid-market rates from one base to many quotes at once, get_history for time series, and the list_* tools for discovery (which corridors, providers and currencies exist). Currency codes are ISO-4217 (GBP, USD, NGN, KES, GHS, …) plus 4-5 char stablecoins (USDT, USDC). spread_bps is basis points below the best provider in the corridor at that moment (0 = best), NOT a spread vs mid; vs_mid_bps compares a provider against the independent mid where one exists. Data freshness is tiered: free and Individual keys serve rates as of the top of the current UTC hour (responses carry data_freshness: "hourly" and an as_of timestamp); Enterprise (Team) keys serve real-time data (data_freshness: "realtime"). Each tool call consumes one request of the API key's daily quota (free 25/day, Individual 500/day, Team 5,000/day).
