MCP Server for Shioaji

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with access to Shioaji trading API for the Taiwanese financial market.

Overview

This server implements the MCP protocol to expose Shioaji API functionality as tools that can be used by AI assistants. It allows AI models to:

• Retrieve current stock prices
• Fetch historical data
• List available stocks
• And more...

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• uv (fast Python package manager)

Using uv

uv sync

Configuration

Before running the server, you need to configure your Shioaji API credentials. There are two ways to do this:

Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables:

export SHIOAJI_API_KEY="your_api_key"
export SHIOAJI_SECRET_KEY="your_secret_key"

Using .env File

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

SHIOAJI_API_KEY=your_api_key
SHIOAJI_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key

Running the Server

Start the server with:

uv run mcp-server-shioaji

The server will start on http://0.0.0.0:8000 by default.

Available Tools

The server exposes the following tools via MCP:

get_stock_price

Get the current price of a stock by its symbol.

{
  "tool": "get_stock_price",
  "params": {
    "symbols": "TW.2330,TW.2317"
  }
}

Response will include price information for the requested stocks, including open, high, low, close prices, volume, and other trading data.

get_kbars

Fetch K-Bar (candlestick) data for a stock within a date range.

{
  "tool": "get_kbars",
  "params": {
    "symbol": "TW.2330",
    "start_date": "2023-12-01",
    "end_date": "2023-12-15"
  }
}

If start_date is not provided, it defaults to today. If end_date is not provided, it defaults to the same as start_date.

Scan stocks based on various ranking criteria.

{
  "tool": "scan_stocks",
  "params": {
