An open-data ontology MCP: a semantic concept layer over multi-datasource financial/economic data. You ask for data by concept + entity (e.g. "price.close of Moutai", "GDP of China"); the system resolves concepts to physical columns in each source, ranks candidate sources by quality and reachability, fetches from the best one (with failover), caches per concept, and refreshes on a per-concept schedule.

It consumes finddata's fd-* datasource registry and fd-entities-indicators read-only, and adds the unified layer on top.

One-command install

A single self-contained block that bootstraps the whole finddata open-data stack (hub + all datasource packages + the ontology database). Re-runnable; stops at the first error.

# 1) Install the full stack from PyPI.
#    fd-open-data-protocol comes in transitively; fd-polygon and fd-cn-report
#    self-register via entry points. Drop "[data]" for a light install (MCP
#    server + CLI only, no akshare/yfinance SDKs). "[data]" excludes the
#    browser-rendering stack; add it via "[data,browser]" when
#    scrapling/playwright is needed.
pip install "fd-open-data-mcp[data]" fd-polygon fd-cn-report

# 2) Initialize the ontology DB and wire every layer: catalog -> concepts
#    -> column bindings -> per-source entity ids -> refresh schedules
#    -> manifest.
fd-open-data-mcp migrate \
  && fd-open-data-mcp import-catalog \
  && fd-open-data-mcp consume-concepts \
  && fd-open-data-mcp propose-bindings \
  && fd-open-data-mcp seed-entities \
  && fd-open-data-mcp generate-schedules \
  && fd-open-data-mcp register-discovered

# 3) Start the MCP server (stdio transport, for any MCP client).
fd-open-data-mcp serve

Real-data fetching needs datasource keys in the environment (never commit them): POLYGON_API_KEY, EDGAR_IDENTITY, plus the LLM_* / ES_* vars required by fd-cn-report. See each package's configuration section.

Install

cd fd-open-data-mcp
uv sync                  # base install

# full datasource support (akshare, yfinance, edgar, world bank, ...)
uv sync --extra data

The database path defaults to fd_open_data_mcp/metadata/daas.db, overridable via FD_OPEN_DATA_MCP_DATABASE_URL. FINDDATA_ROOT (default: the parent finddata/ directory) locates fd-* providers.

Note: before using SEC EDGAR data, set EDGAR_IDENTITY="your_email@example.com" in the environment.

Quick start

# 1. Create the ontology tables
fd-open-data-mcp migrate

# 2. Import catalogs (akshare 673, yfinance 12, cn-gov 11, cn-report 44, edgar 6, ...)
fd-open-data-mcp import-catalog
# or a single provider: fd-open-data-mcp import-catalog akshare

# 3. Consume the 926 indicator_defs as concepts and propose column->concept bindings
fd-open-data-mcp consume-concepts
fd-open-data-mcp propose-bindings

# 4. Seed per-source entity identifiers (stocks for akshare/yfinance, countries for worldbank)
fd-open-data-mcp seed-entities

# 5. Generate refresh schedules from indicator_defs.frequency
fd-open-data-mcp generate-schedules

# 6. Read by concept + entity (read-through cache + ranked dispatch + failover)
fd-open-data-mcp read --concept-id 234 --entity-type stock --entity-id 1 --date 2024-07-26

Catalog expansion and the read boundary

The list_concepts family (MCP tools and the list-concepts CLI) also returns entries from the unified indicator registry (registry_entries table) that passed the naming-quality gate (verified), covering world_bank / gta_panel / china_city_panel / the fd_open_data mirror; yearbook's numeric-placeholder entries stay unverified and out of the catalog.

  • Merge semantics: local concepts (concepts table) first, registry entries after (ordered by domain, semantic_code); entries whose semantic_code duplicates a local concept code are deduped (local row wins). Registry rows carry native_code and source_db identity fields, so retrieval works with either the native or the semantic code (the query parameter substring-matches code/name). Without that table in the local DB, the tool falls back to the pure local catalog — behavior unchanged.

  • Read boundary (important): this server does not read observation data for those external-registry indicators — forwarding reads through business-mcp is a later change; in this version read/fetch on registry indicators does not return external-source data. This expansion affects the indicator dictionary only, not any data-reading capability.

Full-registry enumeration (list_registry_entries, v0.5.38)

The parallel tiered-browsing channel (ADR-0002): pages through ALL registered entries — verified and not — ordered by (source_db, native_code), each row carrying the authoritative verified flag, with an optional status filter (verified | registered; default all). The catalog/search/ read verified gate is untouched: list_concepts, ai_search and the read paths still exclude unverified entries. Consumers: the Wire public catalog mirror re-keyed its ids to source_db:native_code from this feed. An optional scope filters rows by the indicator-scope rules (source_db / domain / semantic_code dimensions); unscoped calls return a plain list (the Wire sync contract).

Crawl control center (panel + reconciler)

A policy describes what to crawl: concept × entity scope × date range × frequency × mode. CrawlPolicy objects are created on the panel, compiled into CrawlPlans by the reconciler, and executed by scraw-fd-open-data-mcp writing into semantic_observations.

# Start the control panel (default http://0.0.0.0:8000)
FD_OPEN_DATA_MCP_DATABASE_URL=<db url> fd-open-data-mcp panel

# Run the reconciler once (due policies -> launch; close stale runs)
python -m fd_open_data_mcp.refresh.reconciler

Environment variables:

  • PANEL_TOKEN — when set, /panel/* requires it (header X-Panel-Token, ?token=, or cookie).

  • POLICY_MAX_FETCHES (default 50000) — plan-size guardrail; a due policy whose fetch estimate exceeds it is rejected (recorded as a failed run) unless the policy sets force.

  • RECONCILER_LAUNCHER — scrapyd (default) or k8s (K8sJobLauncher).

  • SCRAPYD_URL / SCRAW_PLAN_DIR (scrapyd launcher); SCRAW_K8S_NAMESPACE / SCRAW_K8s_IMAGE / SCRAW_K8S_DATABASE_URL / SCRAW_K8S_REDIS_URL (k8s launcher).

  • FD_PROXY_FORWARDER — empty for local dev (the injection layer returns a direct sentinel → direct egress); cluster crawling uses the standalone fd-proxy-service forwarder for proxy selection. The legacy vars FD_PROXY_POOL/FD_EGRESS_MODE are no longer read.

Tests

uv run --with pytest pytest -q

Design notes / v1 limitations

  • Propose-confirm flow: column→concept bindings carry confidence + provenance; below-threshold bindings stay out of dispatch (into the review queue). One real fetch promotes a binding to sample-confirmed.

  • Ranking is per (source × concept), self-tuning from fetch_log (bounded — one failure never removes a source).

  • Conflict policy: one cached value per (concept, entity, date) with its source_used; cross-source values are never merged.

  • LLM providers power semantic enrichment / cross-language concept mapping. v1 uses rule tables + semantic_type hints.

Full specifications: openspec/changes/add-fd-open-data-mcp/.

Proxy pool & circuit breaker

The fetch stack rotates IPs through a proxy pool to avoid source bans, with per-(source, real_source×proxy_ip) circuit breakers. This infrastructure is deployed in the scraw namespace of the remote k8s cluster.

# Manually trigger a proxy sync
kubectl create job --from=cronjob/proxy-pool-sync proxy-pool-sync-manual -n scraw

# Check proxy pool health
kubectl exec -n scraw fd-open-pg-789d56dbb5-fkdbl -- \
  psql -U postgres -d postgres -c "SELECT status, count(*) FROM proxies GROUP BY status;"

Key files: fd_open_data_mcp/proxy/ (selector, breaker, ban rules, injection); real-source failover in fd_open_data_mcp/fetch/dispatch.py.

Standard real-source names

  • eastmoney — Eastmoney (A-share primary, via akshare)

  • tencent — Tencent Finance (A-share failover)

  • sina — Sina Finance (A-share alternative)

  • yahoo_finance — Yahoo Finance (global markets, via yfinance)

Libraries (akshare, yfinance) call several real sources underneath; the breaker tracks health per real source, not per library, enabling smart failover.

LLM configuration (PDF report extraction)

fd-cn-report uses an LLM to extract financial indicators from annual-report PDFs. The current provider is DeepSeek on Ark (see the fd-cn-report README):

# fd-open-data-mcp/.env
LLM_BASE_URL=…/api/plan/v1     # Ark endpoint
LLM_API_KEY=…                  # Ark key
LLM_MODEL=deepseek-v4-flash

LLM_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY (legacy) are both accepted; LLM_API_KEY wins when both are set.

Image publish

Images are built by GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/image.yml) and pushed to Tencent TCR personal edition: ccr.ccs.tencentyun.com/finddata/fd-open-data-mcp:sha-<short> (+ rolling main). Release ritual: dev pushes go to gitee; publishing = git push github main. The Jenkins→Harbor path is the fallback channel only.
