Key features

  1. 01Search stocks by name or code
  2. 02Retrieve quotes and valuation metrics
  3. 03Get daily price history
  4. 04View net buying by investor type
  5. 05Query indices and market-cap rankings

  1. 01Resolve a Korean issuer's listing code and market
  2. 02Review a stock's quote and valuation data
  3. 03Analyze daily prices and investor flows
  4. 04Find listed companies by market capitalization

MCP support

It exposes Korean equities tools to MCP clients through a Pipeworx remote endpoint or as a local stdio MCP server.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools

Details

From the project README

@pipeworx/kr-equities

Korean listed equities: stock-code to issuer and exchange (KOSPI/KOSDAQ) identity, current quotes, daily history, valuation fundamentals, investor-type flows, market indices and market-cap rankings.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1866+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

  • kr_search_stocks(query, limit?) — resolve a Korean name, English name or 6-character code to the listed issuer, code and market.
  • kr_quote(code) — price, change, range, volume, market cap, 52-week range, PER/PBR/EPS/dividend yield, foreign ownership, market status.
  • kr_price_history(code, days?) — daily OHLCV newest first with window performance.
  • kr_investor_flows(code) — daily net buying by foreign, institutional and individual investors.
  • kr_index(index, days?) — KOSPI, KOSDAQ or KOSPI200 level and history.
  • kr_top_by_market_cap(market, limit?, page?) — largest listed companies by market capitalisation.

Auth

Keyless.

Data sources

  • Korea Exchange, KOSPI and KOSDAQ market data (quotes, index levels, listing identity).
  • English-name lookups fall back to Yahoo Finance's listing search, used only to resolve a name to a Korean code.

Codes are 6 characters (digits, or digits plus letters for newer listings). Prices are in KRW and reflect the exchange timestamp in as_of (KST); market_status says whether the session is open. Names are returned in Korean.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kr-equities": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/kr-equities/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/kr-equities/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1866+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/kr_search_stocks \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query":"SK hynix"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/kr_search_stocks. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kr-equities": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-kr-equities"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-kr-equities

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Kr Equities data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
