HKEx Filings MCP Server
An open-source Python tool that scrapes 25+ years of Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx) regulatory filings and ingests them into any combination of nine databases - with full-text and table extraction, chunk-level coverage, optional graph linking, and a read-only MCP server so AI agents can query the corpus or the live site.
People who work with financial data, graph database and hkex and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to hkex-listco-updates.ascent-partners.com
endpoint auth accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize - no credentials needed to connect
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package hkex-filing-scraper - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.simonplmak-cloud is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
