fd-open-data-mcp

An open-data ontology MCP: a semantic concept layer over multi-datasource financial/economic data. You ask for data in concepts + entities (e.g. "price.close for Moutai", "GDP for China"); the system resolves the concept to physical columns across datasources, ranks candidate sources by quality + accessibility, fetches from the best one (with failover), caches by concept, and refreshes on a per-concept frequency.

It consumes the finddata fd-* datasource registries and fd-entities-indicators read-only and adds the unifying layers on top: concept bindings, per-source entity identifiers, source rankings, a read-through value cache, and (on top of all that) an entity graph + vector-search layer for relational and semantic queries.

一个开放数据本体 MCP：在多数据源的金融/经济数据之上构建语义概念层。你用概念 + 实体来请求数据（例如"茅台的 price.close"、"中国的 GDP"）；系统将概念解析为各数据源中的物理列，按质量 + 可达性对候选数据源排序，从最佳数据源抓取（带故障转移），按概念缓存，并按每个概念的频率刷新。

One-click install

A single self-contained block that bootstraps the entire finddata open-data stack (hub + every datasource package + ontology DB). Safe to re-run; stops on the first error.

# 1) Install the full stack from PyPI.
#    fd-open-data-protocol is pulled in transitively; fd-polygon and
#    fd-cn-report auto-register via entry-points. Drop "[data]" for a lighter
#    install (MCP server + CLI only, without the akshare/yfinance/playwright SDKs).
pip install "fd-open-data-mcp[data]" fd-polygon fd-cn-report

# 2) Initialize the ontology DB and wire every layer: catalogs -> concepts ->
#    column bindings -> per-source entity ids -> refresh schedules -> manifests.

Live data fetches need source keys in the environment (never committed): POLYGON_API_KEY, EDGAR_IDENTITY, and the LLM_* / ES_* set for fd-cn-report. See each package's Configuration section.

        │
   RUNTIME: read() -> cache hit? : dispatch (ranked, failover) -> cache -> log
   SEARCH : semantic_search (concepts) + graph_search (entity relationships) + ai_search

Eight capability areas (see openspec/changes/add-fd-open-data-mcp/specs/): open-data-catalog, semantic-layer, entity-identity, source-ranking, concept-fetch, scheduled-refresh, entity-graph, vector-search.

Install

cd fd-open-data-mcp
uv sync                  # base install

# For full data source support (akshare, yfinance, edgar, world bank, etc.)
uv sync --extra data

The DB path defaults to fd_open_data_mcp/metadata/daas.db; override with FD_OPEN_DATA_MCP_DATABASE_URL. FINDDATA_ROOT (default: the parent finddata/ dir) locates the fd-* providers.

SEC EDGAR requires EDGAR_IDENTITY="your_email@example.com" in the environment before use (the SEC mandates a User-Agent for anonymous access).

Quickstart

# 1. create the ontology tables
fd-open-data-mcp migrate

# 2. import the catalogs (akshare, yfinance, cn-gov, cn-report, edgar, ...)
fd-open-data-mcp import-catalog
# or one provider:  fd-open-data-mcp import-catalog akshare

# 3. consume indicator_defs as concepts + propose column->concept bindings
fd-open-data-mcp consume-concepts
fd-open-data-mcp propose-bindings

# 4. seed per-source entity identifiers (akshare/yfinance for stocks, worldbank for countries)
fd-open-data-mcp seed-entities

# 5. generate per-concept refresh schedules from indicator_defs.frequency
fd-open-data-mcp generate-schedules

# 6. read data by concept + entity (read-through cache + ranked dispatch + failover)
fd-open-data-mcp read --concept-id 234 --entity-type stock --entity-id 1 --date 2024-07-26

MCP server

fd-open-data-mcp serve          # FastMCP, stdio transport

The MCP tool surface is organized into eight capability areas (use the tool list in your MCP client for the authoritative set):

ai_search is the end-to-end entry point: semantic search → graph traversal → value query, in one call.

Data sources

Sources are wired in fd_open_data_mcp/fetch/runner.py::run_upstream(), a hardcoded source→runner chain. The table below reflects the actual state of each adapter, not aspirational status.

Production (network-backed)

External datasource packages (polygon, datacommons) are lazy-imported at fetch time, so fd-open-data-mcp does not depend on their SDKs unless a fetch is actually made.

Stub / placeholder

These adapters exist and are dispatchable but return placeholder data — they are scaffolds for future scraping work, not usable data sources:

amac-fund, shfe-metal-futures, agriculture (DCE), cme-agricultural-futures, chemicals, electronics, nonferrous, flowers-kifc, fin_platforms, sac-securities.

Note: the fd-open-data-mcp list-sources CLI marks every adapter "✅ Full support". That label is not an integration guarantee — it only checks that an adapter file exists. Treat the stub list above as authoritative.

Read-only registries

Crawl control center (panel + reconciler)

Policies describe what to crawl: concepts × entity scope × date range × frequency × mode. A CrawlPolicy is created from the panel, compiled by the reconciler into a CrawlPlan, and executed by scraw-fd-open-data-mcp into semantic_observations.

# Serve the control panel (default http://0.0.0.0:8000)
FD_OPEN_DATA_MCP_DATABASE_URL=<db url> fd-open-data-mcp panel

# Run the reconciler once (due policies -> launch; closes stale runs)
python -m fd_open_data_mcp.refresh.reconciler

Env vars:

• PANEL_TOKEN — if set, /panel/* requires it (header X-Panel-Token, ?token=, or cookie).
• POLICY_MAX_FETCHES (default 50000) — plan-size guardrail; a due policy whose fetch estimate exceeds it is refused (recorded as a failed run) unless the policy has force set.
• RECONCILER_LAUNCHER — scrapyd (default) or k8s (K8sJobLauncher).
• SCRAPYD_URL / SCRAW_PLAN_DIR (scrapyd launcher), SCRAW_K8S_NAMESPACE / SCRAW_K8S_IMAGE / SCRAW_K8S_DATABASE_URL / SCRAW_K8S_REDIS_URL (k8s launcher).
• FD_PROXY_FORWARDER — unset for local dev (the injection shim returns a direct sentinel → direct egress; the standalone fd-proxy-service forwarder owns proxy selection in cluster crawls). The legacy FD_PROXY_POOL/ FD_EGRESS_MODE vars are no longer read.

Policy example (via panel, or MCP policy_create):

name:        fund-nav-daily
entity_type: fund
concepts:    nav.unit, nav.accumulated
mode:        per_date          # or "series" (one bulk fetch per entity)
date_policy: since_last        # start = observation watermarks
frequency:   daily
source:      akshare
cron:        45 6 * * * UTC

Two cadence notes: series mode backfills history in one bulk fetch per entity (explicit range), while since_last per_date is the steady-state incremental mode (only new dates since each concept's watermark; entities with no watermark are not backfilled — run an explicit-range backfill first). See openspec/changes/add-fund-crawl-control-center/docs/phase7-validation.md for the validated pilot (76k nav observations on the live DB).

Tests

uv run --with pytest pytest -q

LLM configuration (for PDF report extraction)

fd-cn-report uses an LLM to extract financial indicators from annual-report PDFs. It runs in the same environment as fd-open-data-mcp and is configured via the LLM_* env vars in .env / .env.local:

LLM_BASE_URL=https://api.plan/v1          # Ark endpoint
LLM_API_KEY=<your-ark-key>                # Ark API key
LLM_MODEL=deepseek-v4-flash              # default model

The default provider is DeepSeek on Ark. Any OpenAI-compatible LLM_BASE_URL (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter, local Ollama) also works — point LLM_BASE_URL / LLM_API_KEY / LLM_MODEL at it. LLM_API_KEY takes priority over OPENAI_API_KEY if both are set.

Design notes / limitations

• Propose-and-confirm: column->concept bindings carry confidence + provenance; below-threshold bindings are withheld from dispatch (review queue). A real fetch promotes a binding to sample-confirmed.
• Ranking is per (source × concept), self-tuning from fetch_log (bounded so one failure can't remove a source).
• Conflict policy: one cached value per (concept, entity, date) with source_used attached; values are never merged across sources.
• Vector search uses JSONB + numpy (pgvector unavailable on the target Postgres); concept + entity embeddings power semantic_search* and ai_search.
• Real-source failover: functions declare real_sources (e.g. stock_zh_a_hist → [eastmoney, tencent, sina]); when eastmoney is banned, the dispatcher fails over to tencent/sina. Circuit-breaker keys are per real-source, not per library.
• _build_params / _extract_value in the fetch runner are best-effort; a production runner refines per-function date-format / payload-shape quirks.

See openspec/changes/add-fd-open-data-mcp/ for the full spec and openspec/changes/add-source-proxy-health/ for the proxy/circuit-breaker design.

Contributing

To add a new datasource:

1. Author a manifest per fd-open-data-protocol (YAML/JSON or a CATALOG dict).
2. Expose it via the fd_open_data_mcp.datasources entry-point in your package's pyproject.toml, or fd-open-data-mcp register-datasource <path>.
3. If the fetch logic can't be expressed as a built-in runner, ship a run_<source>(command, params) in an adapter (or an external package) and branch on it in run_upstream().
4. fd-open-data-mcp register-discovered then ingests it; propose-bindings binds its columns to concepts.
