Workflow

1. edinet-mcp search <company> → find EDINET code
2. edinet-mcp statements -c <code> -p <year> → view financial data
3. edinet-mcp screen <code1> <code2> ... → compare multiple companies

Important

• The -p (period) parameter is the filing year, not the fiscal year. March-end companies file in June of the next year: FY2023 data → -p 2024.
• 161 normalized labels across J-GAAP / IFRS / US-GAAP.
• Results include 当期 (current) and 前期 (prior) periods.
• Rate-limited to 0.5 req/sec by default. Screening 10 companies takes ~1-2 minutes.
• Maximum 20 companies per screen request.

Setup

• Requires EDINET_API_KEY environment variable
• Free API key: https://disclosure2dl.edinet-fsa.go.jp/
