 ## ⚖️ Mid-market vs official central-bank rates
 
-Everything this server returns is a **mid-market rate**, refreshed every ~60 seconds — the right number for price display, conversion, and anything that should track the market. It is *not* the official rate a tax authority or auditor may require. For those, AllRatesToday also serves **published central-bank and tax-authority rates** (100+ sources — ECB, Fed, HMRC, US Treasury, …) that are fixed once published and carry the institution's own publication date — via the [central bank REST API](https://allratestoday.com/docs/#central-bank) and [per-bank npm SDKs](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/). The two can diverge by several percent, so pick by use case, not convenience.
+Everything this server returns is a **mid-market rate**, refreshed every ~60 seconds — the right number for price display, conversion, and anything that should track the market.

+- **0.6.1** — README: Claude Code plugin and hosted `/api/mcp` endpoint cross-links; coverage wording refreshed
+- **0.6.0** — Official rates: new keyless `list_central_banks` and `get_official_rates` tools expose the latest table from 121 central banks + 3 tax authorities (dated tables need the key)
 - **0.5.0** — Keyless mode: the server starts and answers without an API key (`get_exchange_rate` via the open ECB reference table, `list_currencies` unchanged); metered tools return actionable sign-up guidance instead of the process exiting
 - **0.4.x** — README overhaul; registry metadata updates
