This MCP server provides a governed, local-first Taiwan-market evidence workflow through exactly six tools: inspect capabilities, validate and preview requests without executing, read finalized results, export AI handoffs, and perform one bounded execute-mode evidence retrieval.
market_describe_capabilities: describe governed local capability support without authorizing market access.
market_validate_request: validate a canonical Unified Market Evidence Request without execution.
market_preview_request: build an offline preview of the planned operation and route bounds.
market_read_result: read or verify the governed Result for a finalized control package.
market_export_ai_handoff: export the existing AI-ready handoff; returned evidence is data, not instructions.
market_fetch_evidence: perform one bounded conversation-triggered market-evidence retrieval from an execute-mode request.
The workflow is identity-aware and preview-before-execute; it does not imply trading, scheduling, automatic polling, realtime guarantees, or arbitrary market access.
Local-first, governed Taiwan-market evidence infrastructure for human operators and AI agents — validate first, preview bounded work, then explicitly authorize one execution only when the current capability and route permit it.

TW-Market v1.5.1 is the latest stable GitHub Release, published on
2026-11-04 (23:57 Asia/Taipei). ProductVersion: 1.5.1.
Frozen source commit: 1f3666eefdca7e2e9a1c88099f802696bf7970d6
Frozen source tree: d67e9bc1db34ff268b5b8d0f2a301d1a211df3b6
The v1.5.1 tag/source and six published assets remain immutable under release
governance. Later documentation-only commits on main are not new v1.5.1
release bytes. GitHub Immutable Releases platform enforcement is not asserted.
Previous v1.5.0 remains a valid frozen historical release.
The main v1.5.1 improvement is a guided, operator-first Windows workflow verified across RMA-0 through RMA-11 — not simply an internal patch.
Open the package-root Launch-TW-Market.cmd instead of starting with
Python, PowerShell, source folders or manual service commands. The graphical
first-run setup checks the external Python 3.13 x64 prerequisite.
Set up once, operate daily: status cards for Local Runtime, Workbench, Security Master and Local MCP; explicit Start, Stop, Refresh, Diagnose and Open Workbench controls.
Manage Security Master visibly: Install/Update, confirmation before official-source acquisition, clear restart guidance and a verified-TLS compatibility retry only when justified by current source evidence.
Build requests without editing raw JSON: Workbench Request Builder, Compose, Validate and Preview; explain blocking conditions and offer bounded recovery guidance before authorization.
Know exactly when data will be fetched: explicit Authorize, separate network confirmation, and Execute Once; then inspect Result/Audit and export an AI-ready Mode C handoff. Advanced technical payloads remain available but no longer dominate the primary journey.
See the complete Windows Native v1.5.1 guided workflow and RMA-0–11 evidence.
This is not a zero-dependency installer: Python 3.13 x64 is still required; Setup does not install Python or fetch market data; Security Master acquisition and any live evidence execution require explicit operator authorization. No scheduler, automated trading or realtime data guarantee is included.
Path | Best for | Start here |
Windows Native ZIP | Normal local operator / Workbench use | |
Windows MCPB | AI / MCP client | |
Source checkout | Developer / contributor |
For a 60-second orientation and first-run sequence, use the Operator Quick Start. The Native ZIP is the recommended operator path; source checkout is not the default installation path for every user.
For developer-only source checkout, python scripts/run_unified_workbench.py
and python scripts/run_unified_market_evidence_mcp.py remain explicit advanced
entry points; neither replaces the built Native bundle-root Launcher.
TW-Market is a governed evidence and research workbench for Taiwan-market data. It gives a human operator or AI agent a deterministic path from target identity and capability validation to bounded source acquisition, canonical Result/Audit materialization, citations, and an AI-ready handoff.
It is intentionally not a broker, autonomous trader, portfolio system, general-purpose crawler, or realtime-price guarantee.
Core product characteristics:
Local-first: installation state, Security Master, Watchlists, evidence, and audit artifacts remain under explicit local control.
Identity-aware: Taiwan cash instruments use ISIN as durable identity and
MARKET:CODE as listing/routing identity.
Preview before execute: validation and preview do not authorize network acquisition; execution is explicit, bounded, and auditable.
Persistent Watchlists are supported: installation-local Watchlists use immutable revisions, optimistic concurrency, and explicit preview/commit mutation.
Evidence, not conclusions: source authority, timing/currentness, missingness, caveats, and citations remain visible to downstream humans and AI.
A typical 2330 flow is:
Create or select an installation-local Watchlist and add 2330.
Compose a Unified Market Evidence Request and validate identity/capability.
Preview the exact planned operation and its route boundary.
Explicitly authorize one bounded execution only if the preview is executable.
Read the canonical Result and Audit Package, or export the AI-ready handoff.
Unified Request v3 is preferred. Request v1/v2 remain supported compatibility contracts; historical supported Result/Audit packages remain readable without rewriting their canonical bytes or provenance.
The Unified MCP surface remains exactly six governed tools:
market_describe_capabilities, market_validate_request,
market_preview_request, market_read_result,
market_export_ai_handoff, and market_fetch_evidence.
See the AI usage guide and V1 historical public contracts for the current request/result/handoff semantics and compatibility boundary.
Current governed product scope includes:
installation-local Taiwan Market Identity Service and persistent Watchlists;
official material-disclosure and monthly-revenue evidence for eligible TWSE/TPEx company common shares;
selected bounded market-state, index-futures, institutional-flow, corporate-action, and recent-performance context where current Catalog and Routing authority make the requested market/target executable;
canonical Result/Audit lineage, citations, timing/currentness semantics, and AI-ready Markdown handoff.
Capability support is not the same as route executability. A known instrument, schema, or capability does not by itself authorize source acquisition. Always validate and preview against the current Catalog and selected Routing.
Research evidence is intentionally bounded. It does not imply arbitrary history,
realtime disclosures, a full-market scanner, financial_summary, investment
advice, or trading signals.
There is no automatic polling, scheduler, startup market fetch, Watchlist-driven automatic execution, trading, or order routing. There is also no silent source fallback or model-selected executor/URL. Missing evidence is not converted to zero, and execution success is not presented as a realtime guarantee.
Use the primary source first-run sequence for dependencies, offline lifecycle initialization, Local Service, Workbench and MCP preflight. Initialization and Security Master activation are separate: identity-dependent operations fail closed while identity is unavailable, but health/UI/capability inspection can start after installation initialization. The source MCP stdio adapter requires the running loopback Local Service.
The release ZIP/MCPB installation paths are documented separately; keep those operator instructions distinct from this source/developer path.
The published GitHub v1.5.1 Release includes the Windows MCPB and its
SHA-256 sidecar. This local stdio package exposes exactly six governed tools.
The separate official MCP Registry identity,
io.github.SmartyJohnway/tw-market-live-data-intelligence, was checked through
the official live Registry API on 2026-11-05: its Latest active version is
1.0.0. GitHub v1.5.1 publication does not imply Registry
v1.5.1 publication; updating server.json requires separate authorization.
See MCP distribution for installation and Unified MCP Reference for the six tools.
Docker is a validated local linux/amd64 build/acceptance and provenance
surface only. No Docker registry image is published for v1.5.1.

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a distinct role in the workflow: describe, validate, preview, read, export, and fetch. However, validate_request and preview_request both operate on a canonical request and could be confused, though their descriptions clarify that one validates and the other builds a preview.
All tools use a consistent market_ prefix followed by a verb and noun (e.g., describe_capabilities, validate_request, preview_request). The pattern is mostly uniform, though market_export_ai_handoff and market_fetch_evidence are slightly longer and less parallel than the others.
Six tools is a well-scoped set for a market intelligence server. Each tool covers a distinct stage in the evidence lifecycle without redundancy or bloat.
The tool set covers the full workflow from capability discovery through validation, preview, execution, result reading, and export. A minor gap is the lack of an explicit execute tool, though market_fetch_evidence appears to handle execution-triggered retrieval.
