What is the Korea MCP server?

MCP server for korea stock. Exposed over MCP by the korea mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

  1. 회원가입: KRX OPEN API에서 회원가입 및 로그인 2. 키 신청: 마이페이지 → API 인증키 신청에서 신청 3. 서비스 신청: 승인 후 서비스이용 → 주식 메뉴로 이동 4. API 이용신청: 다음 6개 항목에서 각각 "API 이용신청" 클릭

Adding it to your client

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.

Configuration

You will need 4 environment variables: DART_API_KEY, KRX_API_KEY, YOUR_DART_API_KEY, YOUR_KRX_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Caveats

  • 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.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the korea mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by jjlabsio; 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We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Korea to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Korea directly.
