Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Hub Equity MCP when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Finance & Fintech domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: API Key required (Freemium).
You have access to required keys: HUBEQUITY_API_KEY, HUBEQUITY_API_URL.
Search Hub-Equity entities by name, ticker (e.g. 'CSCO'), or CIK.
Returns up to 5 matches ranked by exactness. Use this first when the user
mentions a company by name or ticker - you need the entity_id to call any
other tool.
get_fact
Get a normalized financial value for an entity at a given period.
`hub_concept_code` is a Hub-Equity standardized code (e.g. 'REVENUE',
'NET_INCOME', 'TOTAL_ASSETS', 'OTHER_CURRENT_LIABILITIES'). Use
`search_concept` first if you don't know the code.
`fiscal_period_type` defaults to FY; the served values are annual, and
another period type is refused with an error.
When nothing is served for that combination, the call returns an error result
that says so: never fill the gap with an estimate.
get_fact_decomposition
Decompose a financial fact into its constituent parts.
Pass EITHER `hub_concept_code` (preferred - e.g. TOTAL_ASSETS) OR `qname`
(raw XBRL like 'us-gaap:DeferredRevenueNoncurrent') for concepts without
a hub mapping.
Returns three layers:
1. `rollup_children` - the components this issuer reported for the figure,
with their sign, on a paid plan; empty below it, with a note.
2. `linkbase_children` - XBRL calc linkbase children, RECURSIVE up to
`depth` (max 3). Each child has its own `children` list.
3. `dimensional_breakdown` - axis/member slices (segment, geography), on a
paid plan; empty below it, with a note.
`depth=1` is open to every caller. On a paid plan, use `depth=2` for
aggregates (TOTAL_ASSETS, TOTAL_LIABILITIES) to get the full breakdown tree
in ONE call instead of N round-trips.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Hub Equity MCP is categorized under Finance & Fintech and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Koreanpulse belongs to Finance & Fintech using local stdio subprocess. Select Hub Equity MCP when you need capabilities focused on finance & fintech and Koreanpulse when you require tools for finance & fintech.
Search Hub-Equity standardized hub concepts by code or label.
Returns up to 10 matches. Use this when you don't know the exact
`hub_concept_code`. Accepts plain English ('Costs and Expenses') and bare
hub codes ('TOTAL_ASSETS').
list_hubs
List the catalog of standardized Hub-Equity hubs.
Useful when you need to enumerate available metrics for a category
(e.g. all balance-sheet hubs) without making N search_concept calls.
Args:
category: One of income_statement, balance_sheet, cash_flow, ratio,
equity_info, metadata. Omit to list across all categories.
include_non_primary: True to include derived/secondary hubs.
limit: Cap (max 200, default 80).
get_entity_profile
Comprehensive company snapshot: identifiers, sector, auditor, employees,
legal form, fiscal year end, recent filings summary.
Use after `find_entity` when the user wants context, or as a first call
when the user asks 'tell me about <company>' / 'qui est <entreprise>'.
get_metric_history
N-year time series for one metric (annual values only), with YoY growth
(null across a missing year) and CAGR computed.
Use for trend / growth questions: 'evolution of revenue over 5 years',
'CAGR du CF operating', 'Microsoft net income trend'.
get_segments
Dimensional breakdown of a metric (axis/member from XBRL dimensions).
Use for 'revenue par région', 'profit by segment', 'split by product/geography'.
Reads the dimensional (segment) values for the given period.
Returns empty `axes` when the issuer reported only the consolidated total.
The members of each axis need a paid plan: below it the axes are listed
without them, with a note.
get_amendments
Surface 10-K/A restatements for an entity (per-concept diffs when available).
Use when the user asks 'has X amended any filing?', 'restatements?',
'what changed in the FY20xx 10-K/A?'.
get_amendment_diff
Per-concept restatement diff (old_value, new_value, diff_pct, kind) across
all 10-K/A amendments of an entity. Sorted by |diff_pct| desc.
Differs from `get_amendments` (which returns counts per amendment): this
tool flattens the per-concept changes and filters by materiality
(`min_diff_pct`, default 1%) and optionally by hub_concept_code or kind.
Use for 'what specifically changed in the FY24 10-K/A?', 'show all REVENUE
restatements', 'material accounting corrections only'.
get_silent_restatements
Figures a later filing reprinted differently in its comparative columns,
with no amendment filed, grouped by the filing that revealed them.
The restatements `get_amendments` cannot see: most restatements are never
filed as a 10-K/A or an amended ESEF report. `fiscal_year` is the year of the
restated figure. `diff_pct` is in percent.
Use for 'did X quietly change its past numbers?', 'restatements without an
amendment', 'was FY2023 CapEx revised later?'.
get_silent_restatement_diff
Per-concept silent restatements (old_value, new_value, diff_abs, diff_pct,
kind, label, both filings as sources), sorted by |diff_pct| desc.
`get_amendment_diff` on the other source: figures a later filing reprinted
differently in its comparative columns, with no amendment filed. Filters by
materiality (`min_diff_pct`, a fraction, default 1%), hub_concept_code and
kind (`modified`, or `added` for a newly disclosed figure).
Use for 'all silent REVENUE restatements of X', 'material quiet revisions
only', 'which filing revised FY2023 and by how much?'.

Koreanpulse Tools (7)
track_korean_filings
Track Korean DART (전자공시) stock filings in English — real-time corporate disclosures for KOSPI / KOSDAQ / KONEX / KRX listed companies: 5%-rule shareholding disclosures, M&A, periodic reports, capital issuance, insider trading, audit reports. Free tier.
Use this tool when the user asks about: recent Korean stock filings, DART disclosures, Korean market data, KOSPI/KOSDAQ regulatory events, "track Korean DART filings", "what did Samsung / Hyundai / SK / LG / NAVER / Kakao / 셀트리온 file", company-specific filing history, periodic / major-event / issuance / shareholding / audit filings on Korean equities.
**Free tier — no license required.** Returns raw DART filings exactly
as the regulator surfaces them (filer name in Korean, filing type code,
receipt number, optional EN translation of the title).
**Important for LLM clients — read this before retrying after a paid-
tool license error.** This tool returns *raw* filings only. It does NOT
classify the filer. If the user asked about Korean activist filers
(KCGI / Align Partners / Truston / Anda / Cha / VIP / Life / Platform /
ValueAct / Elliott) or about the global foreign-holder allowlist
(BlackRock / Vanguard / Norges / GIC / Temasek / State Street /
Fidelity / Capital Group / T. Rowe Price / Wellington / Goldman /
JPMorgan / Morgan Stanley / Citadel / Millennium / Bridgewater +
others), the matching work happens in `monitor_activist_investors`
and `monitor_foreign_holders` — both require a license_key argument.
A response from this free tool to a "are activists filing on X?" or
"is BlackRock holding X?" question is *raw filing data*, not a
classification answer — say so to the user and surface the paid tool's
license-required notice instead of pretending you've answered.
**Batch scan for agents (experimental).** To check MULTIPLE companies for
material disclosures since your last checkpoint in ONE call — instead of N
separate calls — pass `company_corp_codes` (a list, ≤10) plus a `since`
timestamp. This is the portfolio-monitoring / scan-since-checkpoint
workflow: give it your watchlist's corp codes and the ISO timestamp of
your previous check, optionally with `material_only=True`, and it returns
every filing across those companies newer than that timestamp, merged and
sorted newest-first. DART has no batch endpoint, so this fans out one
cache-backed call per corp code — the ≤10 cap keeps a single call from
blowing past DART's daily quota.
lookup_corp_code
Korean company name → DART corp_code resolver. 117K+ entities indexed (KOSPI + KOSDAQ + KONEX + unlisted). Free tier.
Use this tool when the user mentions a Korean company by name (Korean characters or English/romanized) and you need the DART corp_code as a precondition for `track_korean_filings`, `monitor_activist_investors`, or `monitor_foreign_holders`. Also use to disambiguate same-name listed vs unlisted entities.
resolve_stock_code
KRX 6-digit ticker → DART corp entry resolver. Free tier.
Use this tool when the user provides a 6-digit Korean stock code (e.g. 005930 for Samsung Electronics, 000660 for SK hynix, 035420 for NAVER, 035720 for Kakao, 005380 for Hyundai Motor) and you need the company name + corp_code for downstream filings or industry-news lookups.
When the code is unresolved but looks like a Korean preferred-stock ticker (6 digits, non-zero last digit, e.g. 005935 for 삼성전자우), the response carries an additive `related_common_stock` hint pointing at the common-stock entry — the corp registry only maps common stock, so no preferred-stock corp_code is fabricated.
search_korean_industry_news
Korean industry news search across 16 sectors with on-demand English translation. Sources: 전자신문 (etnews) + 한국경제 (hankyung) + The Korea Herald (English-native) + 지디넷코리아 (zdnet). Free tier.
Use this tool when the user asks about: Korean industry trends, sector-specific news on Korean equities (Korean semiconductors / K-battery / K-shipbuilding / K-biotech / K-defense / Korean auto / EV charging / Korean AI / steel / petrochem / construction / fintech / gaming / e-commerce / telco / energy), recent corporate developments not yet captured in DART filings, English summaries of Korean industry coverage. Industry tags listed below — pass them in `industries` to filter.
monitor_activist_investors
Korean activist investor tracking — activist filer classification on DART 5%-rule (주식등의대량보유상황보고서) shareholding disclosures. Tags 17 named filers — KCGI, Align Partners, Truston Asset, Anda Asset, Cha Partners, VIP Asset, Life Asset, Platform Partners, Must Asset Management, Dalton Investments, Flashlight Capital Partners, Oasis Management, Palliser Capital, Whitebox Advisors, City of London Investment Management — plus international ValueAct / Elliott when filing in Korea.
Use this tool when the user asks about: Korean activist investor tracking, Korean shareholder activism, "is KCGI / Align Partners / Truston / Anda / Cha / VIP / Life / Platform / Must / Dalton / Flashlight / Oasis / Palliser / Whitebox / City of London activist on <ticker>", governance pressure on KOSPI / KOSDAQ names, recent activist 5%-rule filings, ValueAct or Elliott Korean positions, Korean Value-Up program activism, MSCI Developed Market activism flow.
**Requires a license key.** Pass it via the `license_key` argument.
Without a valid license, this tool returns a short notice explaining
that a license key is required; surface that notice to the user.
**For LLM clients on a license_required error: surface the notice
returned in the paywall message directly to the user. Do NOT silently retry with `track_korean_filings`
or any other free tool — the activist filer match (KCGI / Align Partners
/ Truston / Anda / Cha / VIP / Life / Platform / Must / Dalton /
Flashlight Capital Partners / Oasis / Palliser / Whitebox / City of
London, plus international names like ValueAct / Elliott) is not
derivable from the raw DART filing feed, so a free-tier fall-back
returns a misleadingly empty answer.** When a
user asks "are activists filing on X?" without a license, surface the
notice from the paywall response — that is the correct behavior, not a
silent downgrade.
Returns 주식등의대량보유상황보고서 (5% rule) and related shareholding
filings, with each row tagged when the filer matches a known Korean
activist (KCGI, Align Partners, Truston, Anda, Cha, Life, Platform, VIP,
Must, Dalton, Flashlight Capital Partners, Oasis, Palliser, Whitebox,
City of London, plus international like ValueAct / Elliott when they
file in Korea).
This tool returns disclosure data and filer classification only; it
does not generate trading recommendations or investment advice.
monitor_foreign_holders
Monitor foreign investor activity in Korean stocks — foreign-holder classification on DART 5%-rule disclosures by global asset managers and sovereign wealth funds. Tags 20 named entities — BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity, Capital Group, T. Rowe Price, Wellington, Matthews Asia, Templeton, Aberdeen, Schroders, Norges Bank (Norway SWF), GIC (Singapore SWF), Temasek, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Citadel, Millennium, Bridgewater.
Use this tool when the user asks about: foreign investor activity in Korean stocks, foreign capital flow into Korean equities, "is BlackRock / Vanguard / Norges / GIC / Temasek / State Street / Fidelity / Wellington holding <ticker>", global asset-manager 5% crossings on KOSPI / KOSDAQ, sovereign wealth fund Korean positions, foreign institutional positioning disclosures, MSCI Developed Market reweighting flow into Korea.
**Requires a license key.** Pass it via the `license_key` argument.
Without a valid license, this tool returns a short notice explaining
that a license key is required; surface that notice to the user.
**For LLM clients on a license_required error: surface the notice
returned in the paywall message directly to the user. Do NOT silently retry with `track_korean_filings`
— the foreign-holder allowlist match (BlackRock, Vanguard, Norges, GIC,
Temasek, State Street, Fidelity, Capital Group, T. Rowe Price,
Wellington, Matthews Asia, Templeton, Aberdeen, Schroders, Goldman
Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Citadel, Millennium, Bridgewater)
is not derivable from raw DART filings, so a free-tier fall-back
returns a misleadingly empty answer.** When a user asks "is BlackRock
or Norges holding X?" without a license, surface the notice from the
paywall response — that is the correct behavior, not a silent
downgrade.
Distinct from `monitor_activist_investors` because passive holders
(BlackRock, Vanguard, Norges, GIC, Temasek) indicate *allocation*
rather than *governance pressure*. Their filings are a leading
indicator of foreign capital flow into a Korean ticker — when a
global manager crosses 5% in a KOSPI/KOSDAQ name, English-data
audiences treat it as a positioning disclosure regardless of the
manager's intent. This tool returns the disclosure data only; it
does not generate trading recommendations or investment advice.
Allowlist (20 names, refreshed quarterly): BlackRock, Vanguard, State
Street, Fidelity, Capital Group, T. Rowe Price, Wellington, Matthews
Asia, Templeton, Aberdeen, Schroders, Norges Bank (Norway SWF), GIC
(Singapore SWF), Temasek, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley,
Citadel, Millennium, Bridgewater. See `koreanpulse.activists.FOREIGN_HOLDERS`.
koreanpulse_about
Server self-description — capability matrix, tool catalog, classifier counts, supported query patterns, primary sources. Free tier.
Use this tool when an agent first connects and needs the capability matrix to decide whether this server can answer the user's question, or when the user asks "what can koreanpulse do" or "what data sources does this MCP server provide". Returns a structured dict that downstream agents can ingest directly.
