sahmk-mcp

Official MCP server for Sahmk — use Saudi market data inside AI agents such as Cursor and Claude Desktop.

This MCP exposes a curated set of Sahmk tools for AI agents, so assistants can query the Saudi market in natural language.

Tools

Tool	Use it for
get_quote	Snapshot for one stock identifier (symbol, name, or alias)
get_quotes	Compare multiple stock identifiers in one call
companies_list	Company directory/symbol discovery with pagination
get_market_summary	Summary for TASI or NOMU
get_market_movers	Top movers by gainers, losers, volume, or value
get_sectors	Sector performance snapshot
get_company	Company profile and fundamentals
get_financials	Financial statements (Starter+ plan)
get_ratios	Calculated financial ratios (Starter/Pro features vary)
compare_symbols	Multi-symbol normalized ratio/metrics comparison (Starter/Pro limits vary)
get_dividends	Dividend history and yield data (Starter+ plan)
get_historical	Historical OHLCV data

Identifier-First Contract

• Canonical inputs for quote tools are identifier and identifiers.
• Legacy aliases symbol and symbols are still accepted for compatibility.
• Prefer canonical keys in prompts, tool calls, and client templates.
• Resolution is backend/SDK-backed (names, aliases, and symbols); MCP does not maintain its own symbol map.

When to Use MCP vs SDK

• Use MCP for interactive agent workflows in tools like Cursor and Claude Desktop.
• Use the Python SDK for scripts, automation, dashboards, alerts, backtests, and application code.

SDK repo: sahmk-sa/sahmk-python

Get Your API Key

1. Sign up at sahmk.sa/developers
2. Go to Dashboard → API Keys → Create Key
3. Copy your key (starts with shmk_live_ or shmk_test_)

Installation

pip install sahmk-mcp

Requires sahmk>=0.9.2 for symbol discovery (companies_list) and identifier-aware quote resolution (identifier/identifiers).

Security

• Set API keys via environment variables (SAHMK_API_KEY).
• Never commit keys to source control or share them in logs.
• Rotate exposed keys immediately from your Sahmk dashboard.

sahmk-mcp

Tool Input Constraints

• get_market_summary.index: TASI or NOMU (NOMUC alias is accepted and normalized).
• get_market_movers.type: gainers, losers, volume, or value.
• get_market_movers.limit: integer from 1 to 50.
• get_quote.identifier (preferred): accepts numeric symbol, Arabic/English company name, or known alias.
• get_quote.symbol (legacy alias): accepted for backward compatibility.
• get_quotes.identifiers (preferred): maximum 50 identifiers per request.
• get_quotes.symbols (legacy alias): accepted for backward compatibility.
• get_financials.symbol: requires exact exchange symbol.
• get_financials.period and get_financials.statement_period: if both are provided, period takes precedence.
• get_financials supports optional passthrough params: type, period, statement_period, history, metrics, result, include_quality, and include_partial.
• get_financials response is statement-block focused and does not include meta.
• get_ratios.symbol: requires exact exchange symbol.
• get_ratios.history: defaults to latest.
• get_ratios.period: defaults to annual.
• get_ratios.metrics: defaults to core.
• compare_symbols.symbols: list of symbols (preferred) or comma-separated string.
• compare_symbols.metrics: defaults to core.
• get_ratios and compare_symbols include minimal meta only: period, metrics, warnings.
• Analytics tools do not expose backend/internal fields such as applied_profile, plan, or source diagnostics.
• get_dividends.symbol: requires exact exchange symbol.
• get_historical.symbol: requires exact exchange symbol.
• companies_list.market: TASI or NOMU (NOMUC alias is accepted and normalized).
• companies_list.limit: integer greater than 0.
• companies_list.offset: integer greater than or equal to 0.
• get_historical.interval: 1d, 1w, or 1m.
• Ambiguous identifiers raise AMBIGUOUS_IDENTIFIER with retry guidance and candidates when available.
• Invalid identifiers and plan-gated requests return the underlying API error.

Tool Call Examples

• Company directory search: companies_list(search="aramco")
• Company directory by market alias normalization: companies_list(search="acwa", market="NOMUC")
• Company directory pagination: companies_list(search="bank", limit=50, offset=100)
• Preferred single quote call: get_quote(identifier="أرامكو")
• Legacy single quote call: get_quote(symbol="2222")
• Preferred batch quote call: get_quotes(identifiers=["سبكيم", "كيان"])
• Legacy batch quote call: get_quotes(symbols=["2222", "1120"])
• Financials by exact symbol: get_financials(symbol="1120")
• Financial ratios defaults: get_ratios(symbol="1120")
• Financial ratios advanced: get_ratios(symbol="1120", history="5y", period="quarterly", metrics="extended")
• Compare symbols defaults: compare_symbols(symbols=["1120", "1180", "1010"])
• Compare symbols extended: compare_symbols(symbols=["1120", "1180", "1010", "2222"], metrics="extended")
• Dividends by exact symbol: get_dividends(symbol="1120")
• Historical by exact symbol: get_historical(symbol="1120", interval="1d")

Company Directory / Symbol Discovery

Use companies_list first to reduce invalid-symbol 404s before symbol-only tools.

1. Discover candidates by name or symbol fragment:
   • companies_list(search="aramco")
   • companies_list(search="2222")
2. Optionally scope discovery by market:
   • companies_list(search="acwa", market="NOMUC") (NOMUC is normalized to NOMU)
3. Pick a symbol from results, then call:
   • get_quote(identifier="<symbol>")
   • get_financials(symbol="<symbol>")
   • get_dividends(symbol="<symbol>")
   • get_historical(symbol="<symbol>")
4. For pagination loops, increment offset by limit until you reach total:
   • companies_list(search="bank", limit=100, offset=0)
   • companies_list(search="bank", limit=100, offset=100)
   • continue until offset >= total

MCP Guidance Examples

• User: "سعر الراجحي" -> call get_quote(identifier="الراجحي").
• Follow-up: "قوائم الشركة" -> if previous result includes resolved_instrument.symbol = "1120", reuse it and call get_financials(symbol="1120").

Example Prompts

• "Give me a TASI summary and market mood."
• "Give me TASI market movers by gainers."
• "Give me NOMU market movers by value."
• "Show me sector performance."
• "Compare سابك, سبكيم, and 2222 by price change and net liquidity."
• "Show me NOMU summary for today."
• "Get financials for 2222."
• "Get dividends for 2222."
• "Get 1d historical data for 1120 from 2026-01-01 to 2026-03-31."
• "Tell me about الراجحي and its sector."

Note: get_financials and get_dividends require Sahmk API access on Starter or higher. If unavailable for the current key, the MCP returns the underlying API error.

Release Notes

• 0.4.3: Align MCP output contract: no financials meta; analytics meta is limited to period, metrics, and warnings.
• 0.4.2: Add SDK method-name compatibility fallback for analytics (get_ratios/ratios, compare_symbols/compare).
• 0.4.1: Require sahmk>=0.9.1 in package dependency and runtime version guard.
• 0.4.0: Add analytics ratios and compare tools; enhance financials optional parameters.
