Live Palladium Price Skill

Overview

A collector reads the palladium spot price from public bullion price sources every hour, trying each in turn and falling back when one fails. It stores the price per troy ounce, gram and kilogram (31.1035 grams to the ounce), a 24-slot ring of hourly snapshots and one closing price per day for the last 30 days.

`change24h` compares the current ounce price with a snapshot taken between 21 and 25 hours earlier, picking the one closest to 24 hours; if none exists the change fields are omitted. `high24h` and `low24h` span all snapshots from the last 25 hours, so older slots that a failed refresh left behind are ignored. `hourly=true` returns those snapshots sorted by time, each tagged with the UTC `hour` slot it was captured in.

`currency` (paid) converts with the stored exchange rates, and an unknown code returns a 400. Daily closes in the 30-day history are converted at each day's own exchange rate where one is stored. `change7d` and `change30d` are null until a close from that far back exists; `volatility30d` is the standard deviation of daily percent changes, not annualized.

`marketStatus` follows regular spot hours, Sunday 18:00 to Friday 17:00 New York time with a daily 17:00 to 18:00 break, and does not model exchange holidays. In the `formatted` block, `ounceWords` and `kilogramWords` spell the rounded price out in words.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as LivePalladiumPriceSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

{
  "name": "LivePalladiumPriceSkill",
  "arguments": {}
}

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.

Supported Currencies

170+ world currencies supported including fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals.
