MCP support
The MCP server provides compatible clients with tools for Korean disclosures, financial statements, and stock prices; local stdio use requires a DART API key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx korea-stock-insight-mcpDART_API_KEYSecretFree API key from opendart.fss.or.kr — required for all DART disclosure tools.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEKorea Stock Insight MCP
mcp-name: io.github.yjhann33-design/korea-stock-insight-mcp
English-first MCP — built for global LLM analysts, not Korean fluency speakers.
Drop-in for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and any MCP-compatible client. Ask in English, get Korean filings, financials, and KOSPI/KOSDAQ prices in one tool call chain — DART corp_code lookup, disclosures, XBRL statements, daily OHLCV.
What you get
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_today_date | Today in KST/UTC (YYYYMMDD) — call before any date-range query |
get_corp_code | Resolve Korean company name or 6-digit ticker → DART corp_code |
get_disclosure_list | Recent DART filings (date, title, type, receipt no.) |
get_disclosure | Filing metadata + canonical viewer URL |
get_financial_statement | Full XBRL financial statements (consolidated/separate, quarterly/annual) |
get_stock_quote | Daily OHLCV from KOSPI/KOSDAQ (via yfinance, no key required) |
DART (전자공시시스템) is South Korea's electronic disclosure system — the SEC EDGAR equivalent, operated by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS).
Why English-first matters
Korean public filings are written in Korean, ticker codes are 6-digit numerics with no global mnemonic, and the disclosure system (DART) has no English equivalent of EDGAR's full-text search. For a non-Korean analyst, that's three friction layers before any actual research.
This server collapses them. Tool descriptions, parameter names, and examples are all written for an LLM that doesn't read Korean — company resolution accepts English names ("Samsung Electronics", "Naver"), responses include English context where useful, and the workflow is one Claude/Cursor turn instead of three browser tabs.
- English-first tool descriptions — names, params, examples all in English
- DART + KRX in one place — disclosures, financials, daily prices through a single MCP
- One-line install, no account —
uvx korea-stock-insight-mcpand you're done (only a free DART key needed) - Local stdio, MIT, no telemetry — your queries don't leave your machine
Quick start (Claude Desktop)
1. Get a free DART API key
Register at opendart.fss.or.kr and grab your API key from the user page. Instant, free, no credit card.
2. Add to your Claude Desktop config
Edit claude_desktop_config.json (location: macOS ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows %APPDATA%\Claude\):
{
"mcpServers": {
"korea-stock-insight": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["korea-stock-insight-mcp"],
"env": {
"DART_API_KEY": "YOUR_DART_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
If you don't have uvx, install uv first (one-liner on macOS/Linux/Windows), or use pipx:
{
"mcpServers": {
"korea-stock-insight": {
"command": "pipx",
"args": ["run", "korea-stock-insight-mcp"],
"env": {"DART_API_KEY": "YOUR_DART_KEY_HERE"}
}
}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop and try
"What were Samsung Electronics' most recent disclosures? Pull their last quarter's revenue and operating profit."
Claude will chain get_corp_code("Samsung Electronics") → get_disclosure_list("005930") → get_financial_statement(corp_code, 2025, "FY") automatically.
Sample queries (30 seconds, copy-paste into Claude)
Three workflows global analysts actually run on Korean equities. Each one chains 2–4 tool calls automatically.
1. Memory-cycle peer comparison
"Compare Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix on revenue, operating margin, and capex for the most recent annual filing. Highlight where they diverge."
Resolves both names to corp_codes → pulls latest XBRL → returns a side-by-side. Useful for tracking the HBM/DRAM cycle.
2. Disclosure radar before a catalyst
"Show me Naver's last 30 days of DART filings. Flag anything about earnings, M&A, share buybacks, or executive changes."
get_disclosure_list with date range, then Claude triages titles. No Korean reading required — the tool description tells Claude what filing types to look for.
3. Price + filing context in one turn
"What did Kakao file most recently, and how has the stock moved on KOSPI over the past 90 days?"
Combines get_disclosure_list + get_stock_quote so you get the news and the price reaction in the same answer.
Other examples
- "Pull LG Energy Solution's last annual report and summarize the management discussion."
- "What's the KODEX 200 ETF's 6-month trend?" (works with ETFs too)
- "For Hyundai Motor, list every disclosure tagged as a major decision (주요사항보고서) in 2025."
Roadmap
- v0.2 — Full disclosure body extraction (zipped XBRL → plain text)
- v0.3 — Multi-company batch queries, sector aggregations
- Future — Optional hosted tier with English-summarized disclosures and webhook push (no ETA; track progress in GitHub Issues)
Feedback & contributions
This is solo-maintained, and stdio mode means I can't see who's using it. The only signals I get are PyPI downloads, GitHub stars, and what you tell me.
If this helps you, please let me know:
- 🐛 Open an issue — bugs, missing tools, broken queries
- 💬 Discussions — "anyone analyzed [ticker]?", "is this the right tool for X?", general questions
- ⭐ Star the repo — easiest way to signal demand and shape the roadmap
If you actually analyze Korean stocks with Claude/Cursor, I'd genuinely love to hear what queries you run and what's missing.

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.
