Edinet MCP vs Signal8 MCP

search_companies

Search for companies by name or ticker symbol in the Signal8 database. Returns matching companies with their ticker, name, CIK, and exchange. Use this as the first step to find a company before calling other tools.

get_company_profile

Get an enriched company profile by ticker symbol. Returns CIK, exchange, sector, industry, market cap, employee count, description, and other fundamental data. This is a lightweight lookup (1 credit) -- use this when you only need basic company info rather than the full bundle. Always includes halted/haltCode/haltedAt trading-halt status (false/null when trading normally); a halted-but-listed ticker reports delisted:false.

get_quote

Get the current stock quote for a company including price, volume, change, market cap, and other real-time market data. Use this when a user asks about a stock's current price or trading activity. Always includes halted/haltCode/haltReason/haltedAt/resumptionAt trading-halt fields (false/null when trading normally); a halted ticker returns the last-known quote instead of an error, or currentPrice:null + halted:true when nothing is recoverable.

get_market_metrics

Get computed market metrics for a company including volume averages, volatility, SMAs, and trend direction. Use when analyzing trading patterns or technical indicators beyond the basic quote.

get_short_interest

Get short interest data for a company including short volume, short ratio, days to cover, and short percent of float. Use when analyzing bearish sentiment or potential short squeeze setups.

get_float

Get float and share structure data for a company including shares outstanding, public float, insider ownership percentage, and institutional ownership. Use when analyzing share supply and ownership concentration.

get_float_history

Get the POINT-IN-TIME float history for a company — one sample per trade date (float shares, shares outstanding, and the source the float came from). Use to answer "what was the float on date X" or to see float expand across a dilution event, which the latest-only get_float cannot show. IMPORTANT: this series is FORWARD-ONLY — it began accumulating in mid-2026 and is NOT backfilled, so early/absent history is expected and an empty rows array is a normal result, not an error or a delisted company. Each row carries "source" ("polygon" | "computed" | "sec_10k" | "fmp") because float quality varies by provider — weigh rows accordingly rather than treating all sources as equal. Charged per your API tier.

get_historical_prices

Get historical OHLCV price candles for a stock. Supports daily, weekly, and monthly resolutions. Use period shorthand (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, 5Y, ALL) or explicit from/to UNIX timestamps. Default is 1 year of daily candles. Use this to compute price returns, chart price history, or analyze volume trends over time.

get_stock_price_change

Get percentage price changes for a stock across multiple timeframes: 1D, 5D, 1M, 3M, 6M, YTD, 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 10Y, and MAX. Use this for quick "how much is it up/down" answers without fetching full candle data.

get_financials

Get income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow data for a company. Supports annual, quarterly, and trailing-twelve-month views. Use when analyzing revenue, profitability, debt, or cash position.

get_earnings

Get historical earnings data for a company including EPS actual vs estimate, revenue actual vs estimate, and surprise percentages. Use when analyzing earnings beats/misses or upcoming earnings expectations.

get_executives

Get key executives and officers of a company including name, title, compensation, and tenure. Use when researching company leadership or management quality.
