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

- Retrieve current stock prices
- Fetch historical data
- List available stocks
- And more...
Installation
Prerequisites

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.

"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.
