goldprice.devThese gold price MCP options serve developers connecting agents to metal prices, historical queries and related data. A published server address is only part of the comparison: the plan still controls freshness, usage rights and historical access. Some providers document individual tools, while others publish an integration page without readable details about its connection or capabilities.
The list is ranked by fit for agent access to gold prices, weighing documented connections, tools, plans and metal coverage. goldprice.dev publishes this page and is listed first. Narwhal API is the sibling broader data API for commodities, FX, economics and calendars. Check request accounting and the underlying price series before connecting an agent.

The ranking
1. goldprice.dev
Fits agents needing gold, silver and copper through a documented remote connection or npm stdio package. goldprice.dev includes nine tools for spot, history, carat, dealer prices and related tasks. Every plan includes MCP; a free key works at https://api.goldprice.dev/v1/mcp. The trade-off is coverage and freshness: platinum and palladium are excluded, and Free spot prices are 15 minutes late.

2. Narwhal API
Fits agents combining metal queries with FX, economics and calendars. Narwhal API uses the same key for REST and remote MCP at https://api.narwhalapi.com/mcp, with commodities_get_spot_price and commodities_get_price_history among its tools. Every plan includes MCP, and each successful tool call counts as one request. The trade-off is freshness on Free: spot uses the previous day's close rather than live prices.

3. Metals-API
Fits agents needing named precious and industrial metal series with a published tool set. Metals-API exposes eight remote tools, including historical, conversion, time-series and intraday queries. Each tool call counts as one request against the existing plan. Copper costs $19.99/month with 10-minute updates; every plan charges $0.032435 per extra call, so repeated agent queries can add to the bill.

4. Commodities-API
Fits agents that need gold within a broader commodities integration. Commodities-API publishes remote MCP on every plan with symbols, latest, historical, conversion, time-series, fluctuation and candle tools. It advertises more than 800 commodities without itemising its metals, so confirm the symbols needed. The trial lasts seven days for up to 50 requests; Pro then bills overage after 1,000 calls.

5. API Ninjas
Fits agents using metal prices alongside a wider API catalog. API Ninjas provides remote MCP on every plan, with 244 catalog tools and an 89-tool finance subset. The trade-off is the underlying feed and rights: Free gold is the last completed daily futures settlement and bars commercial use. Gold spot and historical bars require premium access, and Developer prohibits caching.

6. Twelve Data
Fits agents already connected to a general market data account. Twelve Data offers an official remote MCP server with account login, or a self-hosted server using an API key. Gold, silver and copper spot appear on its commodities page. Tool names are not published, and commodities require Grow or above; the free account allowance does not include those feeds.

7. goldapi.io
Fits developers evaluating an integration around goldapi.io's precious metal coverage. Its documentation lists an MCP integration page, and an unofficial third-party server also exists. We could not read the listed integration details, so connection requirements, tools and plan access are not stated here. That uncertainty is the trade-off: verify the intended server before treating it as a documented production connection.

Choose a server by the data and tools your agent needs, then check the plan behind the connection. Count successful queries against the allowance where documented. A published integration page alone does not establish readable setup instructions or tool coverage. goldprice.dev and Narwhal API are owned and operated by Nusantara Ventures, LLC.
