Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Cambio Uruguay Public API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fcambio-uruguay.com%2Fcambio-uruguay" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fcambio-uruguay.com%2Fcambio-uruguay" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Cambio Uruguay Public API.
Read current buy and sell quotes aggregated from Uruguayan exchange houses and banks
Get quotes for one house, or a historical series with statistics for a currency at a house
List BCU institution links and details, house metadata, and branch locations
Look up the valid house ids, currency codes, quote types, and departments
GET STARTED
Generate an AI market insight and check the AI feature status
Patterns agents use Cambio Uruguay Public API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Exchange Rate Comparison
Find the best buy or sell rate in Uruguay without visiting every house. An agent reads all current quotes at once, or drills into one house, and compares buy and sell rates across the aggregated exchange houses and banks. The data is read-only JSON refreshed through the day, so the agent reports the current spread rather than a stale figure.
Fetch all current quotes, then compare the buy and sell rate for US dollars across houses
Historical Series and Branch Lookup
Chart how a currency moved and where to transact. An agent reads the historical series with statistics for a currency at a house, then lists branch locations and house metadata to point a user at the nearest option. Reference enums confirm the valid house ids, currency codes, and departments before the agent queries.
Read the historical series for a currency at a house, then list that house's branch locations
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
An AI agent discovers and calls the Cambio Uruguay Public API through Jentic. The agent searches by intent, receives the matching operation and its input schema, and reads current or historical quotes. Because the public reads need no key, the agent gets rates immediately, and Jentic injects your optional plan key when you add one.
Search Jentic for 'current exchange quotes', load the operation schema, and read all current quotes
17 endpoints — the cambio uruguay public api aggregates buy and sell quotes from dozens of uruguayan exchange houses and banks, refreshed through the day.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Cambio Uruguay by hand means handling the anonymous ceiling, optionally sending a plan key in the X-API-Key header on api.cambio-uruguay.com, and caching responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Cambio Uruguay from the API Directory, store the optional key if you have one, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The quote reads are public, so through Jentic you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as current quotes and historical series, while leaving the AI insight generation operation out of the set.
Credential isolation
Your optional Cambio Uruguay plan key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'current exchange quotes' or 'historical rate series', and Jentic returns the matching Cambio Uruguay operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Cambio Uruguay Public API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Cambio Uruguay Public API use?
No API key is required to read the public quotes, per its OpenAPI spec. An optional free key, sent in the X-API-Key header, identifies you, meters your usage, and applies your plan. Through Jentic that optional key is stored encrypted by your own Jentic One instance and injected at call time when you add one.
Is there a Cambio Uruguay MCP server?
You do not need a separate MCP server to give your agent Cambio Uruguay. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, and your agent calls its quote and history operations on demand. Operations are discovered as needed, so no extra server's tool definitions load into the agent's context.
Can I read historical exchange rates with the Cambio Uruguay Public API?
Yes. Call the evolution operation for a house and currency to get a historical series with statistics, and the current-quotes operation for live buy and sell rates. Both return structured JSON an agent can chart or compare.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Cambio Uruguay Public API?
Yes. The API is read-only for quotes, and because you run Jentic One yourself your rules decide which operations the agent may call. You can allow current quotes and historical series while withholding the AI insight generation operation, and every call is logged.
What are the rate limits for the Cambio Uruguay Public API?
The OpenAPI spec does not pin exact numbers; it notes an anonymous ceiling that an optional key raises per your plan, and asks callers to cache responses. Check the Cambio Uruguay documentation at https://cambio-uruguay.com for current limits.
How do I read current quotes with the Cambio Uruguay Public API through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'current exchange quotes' to get the matching operation and its input schema, then your agent reads all current quotes or one house's rates. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
For Agents
Read aggregated buy and sell quotes from Uruguayan exchange houses, with historical series, branch locations, and reference data, across 17 endpoints.
Use for: Get all current exchange quotes in Uruguay, I need to compare buy and sell rates across houses, Retrieve the historical rate series for a currency at a house, Find all branch locations for exchange houses
Not supported: Does not execute currency trades, transfer money, or open accounts. Use for reading Uruguayan exchange-house quotes, historical series, and branch data only.
The Cambio Uruguay Public API aggregates buy and sell quotes from dozens of Uruguayan exchange houses and banks, refreshed through the day. It serves all current quotes at once, quotes for a single house, and a historical series with statistics for a currency at a house. It also lists BCU institution links and details, house metadata, branch locations, and the reference enums for valid house ids, currency codes, quote types, and departments. A paid operation generates an AI market insight, and liveness and health operations report service status.
