Endpoint Security46
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability78
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1461 tokens (~121/item across 12 items; 12 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management46
  • Stability check failed: schema churn in the 20 days we've observed: 3 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 0 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

Install

How do I install the K-Data — Korean Sell-Side Research & Market Data MCP server?

K-Data — Korean Sell-Side Research & Market Data is a hosted endpoint at https://k-data-x402-production.theblack1022.workers.dev/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 12 exposed · ~1,365 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
