EDINET XBRL parsing library and MCP server for Japanese financial data

edinet-mcp

EDINET XBRL parsing library and MCP server for Japanese financial data.

📝 日本語チュートリアル: Claude に聞くだけで上場企業の決算がわかる (Zenn)

Part of the Japan Finance Data Stack: edinet-mcp (securities filings) | tdnet-disclosure-mcp (timely disclosures) | estat-mcp (government statistics) | boj-mcp (Bank of Japan) | stockprice-mcp (stock prices & FX)

What is this?

edinet-mcp provides programmatic access to Japan's EDINET financial disclosure system. It normalizes XBRL filings across accounting standards (J-GAAP / IFRS / US-GAAP) into canonical Japanese labels and exposes them as an MCP server for AI assistants.

• Search 5,000+ listed Japanese companies
• Retrieve annual/quarterly financial reports (有価証券報告書, 四半期報告書)
• Automatic normalization: stmt["売上高"] works regardless of accounting standard
• Financial metrics (ROE, ROA, profit margins) and year-over-year comparisons
• Parse XBRL into Polars/pandas DataFrames (BS, PL, CF)
• Multi-company screening: Compare financial metrics across up to 20 companies
• Cross-period diff (xbrl-diff): Compare financial statements across periods with change amounts (増減額) and growth rates (増減率)
• MCP server with 9 tools for Claude Desktop and other AI tools

API Reference

EdinetClient

All client methods are async. Use async with for proper resource cleanup:

import asyncio
from edinet_mcp import EdinetClient

async def main():
    async with EdinetClient(
        api_key="...",        # or EDINET_API_KEY env var
        cache_dir="~/.cache/edinet-mcp",
        rate_limit=0.5,       # requests per second
        max_retries=3,        # retry on 429/5xx with exponential backoff
    ) as client:
        # Search
        companies: list[Company] = await client.search_companies("query")
        company: Company = await client.get_company("E02144")

        # Filings
        filings: list[Filing] = await client.get_filings(
            start_date="2024-01-01",
            edinet_code="E02144",
            doc_type="annual_report",
        )

        # Financial statements (by edinet_code + period)
        stmt: FinancialStatement = await client.get_financial_statements(
            edinet_code="E02144",
            period="2024",  # Filing year (not fiscal year)
        )

        # Or get the most recent filing (within past 365 days)
        stmt = await client.get_financial_statements(edinet_code="E02144")

        df = stmt.income_statement.to_polars()  # Polars DataFrame
        df = stmt.income_statement.to_pandas()  # pandas DataFrame (optional dep)

asyncio.run(main())

Filing

Filing objects returned by get_filings() have the following attributes:

for filing in filings:
    print(filing.description)    # "有価証券報告書－第121期(...)"
    print(filing.filing_date)    # datetime.date(2025, 6, 18)
    print(filing.doc_id)         # "S100VWVY"
    print(filing.company_name)   # "トヨタ自動車株式会社"
    print(filing.period_start)   # datetime.date(2024, 4, 1)
    print(filing.period_end)     # datetime.date(2025, 3, 31)

StatementData

Each financial statement (BS, PL, CF) is a StatementData object with dict-like access:

# Dict-like access by Japanese label
stmt.income_statement["売上高"]       # → {"当期": 45095325, "前期": 37154298}
stmt.income_statement.get("営業利益") # → {"当期": 5352934} or None
stmt.income_statement.labels          # → ["売上高", "営業利益", ...]

# DataFrame export
stmt.balance_sheet.to_polars()    # → polars.DataFrame
stmt.balance_sheet.to_pandas()    # → pandas.DataFrame (requires pandas)
stmt.balance_sheet.to_dicts()     # → list[dict]
len(stmt.balance_sheet)           # number of line items

# Raw XBRL data preserved
stmt.income_statement.raw_items   # original pre-normalization data

Normalization

edinet-mcp automatically normalizes XBRL element names across accounting standards:

Accounting Standard	XBRL Element	Normalized Label
J-GAAP	NetSales	売上高
IFRS	Revenue, SalesRevenuesIFRS	売上高
US-GAAP	Revenues	売上高

Mappings are defined in taxonomy.yaml — 161 items covering PL (42), BS (79), and CF (40), with IFRS/US-GAAP element variants automatically resolved via suffix stripping. Add new mappings by editing the YAML file, no code changes needed.

from edinet_mcp import get_taxonomy_labels

# Discover available labels
labels = get_taxonomy_labels("income_statement")
# [{"id": "revenue", "label": "売上高", "label_en": "Revenue"}, ...]

EDINET Suffix Stripping

EDINET appends accounting-standard and section-specific suffixes to XBRL element names (e.g., TotalAssetsIFRSSummaryOfBusinessResults). These are automatically stripped to match canonical taxonomy entries. Non-consolidated (単体) contexts are filtered out to prefer consolidated figures.

Architecture

EDINET API → Parser (XBRL/TSV) → Normalizer (taxonomy.yaml) → MCP Server

                              StatementData["売上高"]
                              calculate_metrics(stmt)
                              compare_periods(stmt)
