DataSinking MCP Server

io.github.heubme2020/datasinking

Full-text Asian financial reports (China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan) as clean Markdown for RAG agents.

What is the DataSinking MCP server?

DataSinking is an MCP server that provides full-text financial reports from China, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan as clean Markdown, ready for LLM reading and RAG applications. Query by FMP-style stock symbol or filter by exchange, report period, or specific sections like MD&A or risk disclosures. Reports are sourced from official regulatory platforms and parsed into structured Markdown with YAML frontmatter, headings, paragraphs, and tables.

DataSinking gives AI agents access to annual, semi-annual, and quarterly financial reports across Asian markets. You can query by stock symbol (e.g., 600519.SS, 005930.KS, 7203.T, 2330.TW), filter by exchange or report period, and fetch individual sections instead of entire reports—ideal for token-efficient RAG. Reports are sourced from official disclosure platforms (CSRC, DART, EDINET, MOPS) and converted to clean Markdown.

Tools & capabilities

Tools this server exposes to the agent.

  • list_exchanges — List available stock exchanges (China SSE/SZSE/BSE, Korea KOSPI/KOSDAQ/KONEX, Japan TSE, Taiwan TWSE/TPEx)
  • list_stocks — List stocks on a given exchange

  • Reproduce financial research paper presentations using historical report data

DataSinking MCP server FAQ

What is DataSinking?

DataSinking is an MCP server that provides full-text financial reports from Asian markets (China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan) as clean Markdown, ready for LLM agents and RAG applications. You can query by stock symbol, filter by exchange or period, and fetch individual report sections.

Is DataSinking free?

DataSinking offers a free tier with 3 requests/second and 8,191 documents per 7 days. Paid yearly keys offer 31 requests/second and 524,287 documents per 7 days. Get a free key at datasink.ing.

How do I install DataSinking in Claude or Cursor?

Use the hosted endpoint (no installation needed): add the MCP server with URL https://api.datasink.ing/mcp and header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY. Alternatively, install locally via pip (datasinking[mcp]) or npm (datasinking-mcp) and run as a command. Per-client setup guides are in docs/mcp/.

What authentication is required?

You need a free API key from datasink.ing. Pass it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header (recommended) or as an apikey query parameter.

What stock symbols does DataSinking support?

FMP-style symbols: China (.SS, .SZ, .BJ), Korea (.KS, .KQ, .KN), Japan (.T), Taiwan (.TW, .TWO). Examples: 600519.SS (Alibaba), 005930.KS (Samsung), 7203.T (Toyota), 2330.TW (TSMC).

Can I fetch just one section of a report instead of the whole document?

Yes. Use the list_sections tool to see available chapters, then fetch_section to retrieve only the section you need—ideal for token-efficient RAG and reducing API quota usage.

PyPI version MCP server

Full-text financial reports across Asia, as clean Markdown.

DataSinking serves full-text financial reports — annual, semi-annual and quarterly — from China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan as clean Markdown, ready for LLM reading and RAG. Query by FMP-style symbol (600519.SS, 005930.KS, 7203.T, 2330.TW) or filter by exchange, report period, or section — pull just the MD&A / risk section instead of the whole report. Reports are sourced from official disclosure platforms and parsed into structured Markdown with YAML frontmatter, preserved headings, paragraphs and tables.


MCP server

Ship DataSinking to any AI agent (Claude / Cursor / Codex / Devin Desktop) as an MCP server — 6 tools: list exchanges, list stocks, list reports, fetch a report, list sections, fetch one section (token-friendly for RAG).

Hosted — nothing to install

One URL, no package, no Python, no local server. Most clients take this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datasinking": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.datasink.ing/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code, in one line:

claude mcp add --transport http datasinking https://api.datasink.ing/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

A client that can't set a header can put the key in the URL instead — https://api.datasink.ing/mcp?apikey=YOUR_KEY — but only do that when you must: a key in a URL ends up in logs and screen shares, and no client can redact it.

Two clients don't fit the shape above: Codex's config is TOML, and Devin Desktop's remote field is serverUrl, not url. Per-client files: docs/mcp/.

Local — run it yourself

If you'd rather keep everything on your own machine, there are two identical builds — pick whichever runtime you already have:

Node 18+ (no Python needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datasinking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "datasinking-mcp"],
      "env": { "DATASINK_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Python 3.8+:

pip install "datasinking[mcp]"
datasinking-mcp          # requires DATASINK_API_KEY (free at https://datasink.ing)

Then use command: datasinking-mcp in your client.

Both run the same six tools with the same schemas — npm/ and datasinking/mcp_server.py are kept in lockstep by check_mcp_parity.py.

Full per-client setup: mcp-server.md (overview) · docs/mcp/ (one guide per client).

The hosted endpoint is POST-only and stateless — GET /mcp returns 405, and no session id is issued. Most clients read MCP config at launch, so restart one after changing its config.

Quick start

  1. Get an API key at datasink.ing
  2. One line (FMP-style ?apikey=):
curl "https://api.datasink.ing/documents?symbol=600519.SS&with_content=1&apikey=YOUR_KEY"

Or in Python:

pip install datasinking
from datasinking import DataSinking

ds = DataSinking("YOUR_KEY")
for r in ds.get_stock_reports("600519.SS", limit=3):
    print(r["report_period"], r["title"], len(r["content"]), "chars")

All five functions (curl / Python / LLM): api-examples.md.

Ask an LLM (no code)

Don't want to write code? Point any LLM at datasink.ing, give it your API key, and ask in plain language. See llm-examples.md for eight end-to-end examples — explore coverage, list a company's reports, and extract a figure with correct units.

Examples (examples/)

FileWhat it does
01_quickstart.pyThe 5 core functions: list exchanges / stocks / reports / fetch a report / fetch a stock's reports
02_download_company.pyDownload a company's full reports to local Markdown files
03_download_exchange.pyDownload an entire exchange's reports (all stocks) to local Markdown files

Every example pulls from the live API and runs as-is.

03_download_exchange.py fetches every report on an exchange (e.g. all of Shenzhen — 150k+ documents). Quotas count documents, not requests, over a rolling 7-day window: a free key gets 3 req/s and 8,191 documents per 7 days, inside a pool of 524,287 per 7 days shared by all free users and website visitors. A whole exchange will therefore take well over a week on a free key — a paid (yearly) key (31 req/s, 524,287 documents per 7 days) is strongly recommended.

Research (research/)

research/ hosts research notes and blog posts, each based on DataSinking data with the source cited. You can reproduce charts and presentations found in financial-report research papers, e.g.:

  • Long-term revenue / profit trends
  • Industry comparison and distribution
  • Time series of financial metrics

Start from research/TEMPLATE.md.

Data source

Reports are sourced from the official regulatory disclosure platform of each market and converted in-house to clean Markdown:

MarketSourcePlatform

Every document also carries a source field in the API response, so the attribution travels with the data. Please keep it when you redistribute.
