What is the Edinet MCP server?

If you already use Edinet, the edinet mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Remote MCP for Japan's EDINET DB — 3,800 listed companies' financials & filings (OAuth).

What the server does

EDINET DB exposes structured financial and corporate data extracted from Japan's regulatory filings (EDINET, by the Financial Services Agency) plus public open data (gBizINFO from METI, National Tax Agency corporate registry, Wikidata). Connect from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, or any MCP-compatible client to query company financials, HR/diversity disclosures, supply chains, patents, executive profiles, and corporate history via natural language.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • get_company — Company profile + latest financials
  • get_financials — Up to 6 years of historical financials
  • get_analysis — AI-generated health score, peer comparison
  • get_ranking — Industry rankings by metric (ROE, revenue, etc.)
  • screen_companies — 106-metric screener
  • get_compensation_text — Executive compensation disclosures
  • get_detailed_expenses — SG&A breakdown (14 categories × 4 groups)
  • get_cross_shareholdings — Policy shareholdings detail (263K records)
  • get_segments — Business segments
  • get_company_history — Corporate history events (246K events, 4,526 companies)
  • get_ir_documents — IR PDFs (integrated reports, mid-term plans, sustainability)
  • get_documentation — Inline help & methodology

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Where it fits

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Edinet's toolset — get_company, get_financials, get_analysis and 10 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by edinetdb; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 13 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Edinet.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Edinet to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 13 tools (get_company, get_financials, get_analysis, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Edinet directly.
