Currency API shows: same request returning different rates within a short time window

What does this usually indicate in a distributed pricing system???

[APILayer @apilayer]

"Should be a quick API integration.”

- 3 endpoints

- unexpected rate limits

What are you tackling first?

Built an MCP server using Python to track real-time flight data like airline flights, airport schedules, future flights & aircraft types using the Aviationstack (@apilayer) API.

Published it as a package so folks can use UVX or run by cloning the repo.

MCP is about delegation.

[APILayer @apilayer]

MCP = AI → tool

That’s a big shift in how software gets used.
