edinet-mcp

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

What is this?

edinet-mcp provides programmatic access to Japan's EDINET financial disclosure system. It parses XBRL filings into structured DataFrames 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)
• Parse XBRL into Polars/pandas DataFrames (BS, PL, CF)
• MCP server for Claude Desktop and other AI tools
• J-GAAP / IFRS / US-GAAP detection

Quick Start

Installation

pip install edinet-mcp
# or
uv add edinet-mcp

Get an API Key

Register (free) at EDINET and set:

export EDINET_API_KEY=your_key_here

30-Second Example

from edinet_mcp import EdinetClient

client = EdinetClient()

# Search for Toyota
companies = client.search_companies("トヨタ")
print(companies[0].name, companies[0].edinet_code)
# トヨタ自動車株式会社 E02144

# Get financial statements as a Polars DataFrame
stmt = client.get_financial_statements("E02144", period="2024")
print(stmt.income_statement.to_polars())

MCP Server (for Claude Desktop)

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "edinet": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["edinet-mcp", "serve"],
      "env": {
        "EDINET_API_KEY": "your_key_here"

API Reference

EdinetClient

client = EdinetClient(
    api_key="...",        # or EDINET_API_KEY env var
    cache_dir="~/.cache/edinet-mcp",
    rate_limit=0.5,       # requests per second
)

# Search
companies: list[Company] = client.search_companies("query")
company: Company = client.get_company("E02144")

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

# Financial statements
stmt: FinancialStatement = client.get_financial_statements(
    edinet_code="E02144",
    period="2024",
)
df = stmt.income_statement.to_polars()  # Polars DataFrame
df = stmt.income_statement.to_pandas()  # pandas DataFrame (optional dep)

StatementData

Each financial statement (BS, PL, CF) is a StatementData object:

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
