Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1024 tokens (~256/item across 4 items; 4 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 Management10
- Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the HKEx Filings MCP server?
HKEx Filings is a hosted endpoint at https://hkex-listco-updates.ascent-partners.com/api/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.

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 →
get_filing Read HKEx Filing ~296
Download one HKEx document by its URL and read, page through, or search its text. ``link`` must be an HKEx document URL from search_filings (host ``www1.hkexnews.hk``); any other host is rejected. With ``extract=True`` (default) the response includes up to 30 ``tables`` and a window of extracted ``document_text``: ``max_chars`` characters starting at ``offset``. Long reports return ``next_offset``; call again with it to read the next window. Pass ``query`` to search the whole document instead: the response then lists up to 20 case-insensitive matches with their offsets and surrounding text, plus ``match_count`` — use a match offset to read that part. Set ``extract=False`` for size and content type only.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| extract | boolean | – | Extract text and tables; false returns size and content type only |
| link | string | yes | HKEx document URL from a search_filings result (host www1.hkexnews.hk) |
| max_chars | integer | – | Maximum characters of document_text to return in this window |
| offset | integer | – | Character offset where the returned text window starts (use next_offset to page) |
| query | string | – | Optional text to find in the whole document; returns matches with offsets instead of a text window |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | object | yes | The downloaded document, with text and tables when extract is true. |
No examples provided.
get_server_info Gateway Info ~25
Report this live gateway's version, transport, and hard limits. Reads nothing.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | object | yes | Gateway version, transport, tool list, filters, and hard limits. |
No examples provided.
list_filing_facets Browse Filing Facets ~195
Browse what filings exist in a date window (at most 31 days) without downloading. ``from_date``/``to_date`` accept YYYY-MM-DD or DD/MM/YYYY. Returns counts of the categories (headline categories), document types, and stock codes present in the window, each sorted by frequency and capped at 50 values, plus the distinct counts. Optionally narrow to one ``stock_code``. Use this to discover valid filter values before calling search_filings; it fetches the window once and extracts no document text.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| from_date | string | yes | YYYY-MM-DD or DD/MM/YYYY |
| max_results | integer | – | Maximum filings to scan (default 50, cap 200) |
| stock_code | string | – | Optional exact HKEx stock code to narrow the facets |
| to_date | string | yes | YYYY-MM-DD or DD/MM/YYYY |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | object | yes | Counts of the window's categories, document types, and stock codes. |
No examples provided.
search_filings Search HKEx Filings ~380
Search live HKEx filings in a date window (at most 31 days). ``from_date``/``to_date`` accept YYYY-MM-DD or DD/MM/YYYY. All filters are optional and combine with AND semantics: ``stock_code`` matches exactly (e.g. ``01461`` or ``1461``); ``title_query``, ``category`` and ``stock_name`` are case-insensitive substrings (e.g. category ``Dividend``); ``document_type`` matches the file type exactly (e.g. ``PDF`` or ``HTML``). Filters are applied to the fetched window, so widen ``max_results`` to catch rarer matches. ``max_results`` caps the number of filings fetched and returned (hard cap 200). Returns the matching filings — each carrying ``fileType``, ``sizeText``, ``category`` and ``newsId`` metadata — plus the HKEx-reported total for the window. Use list_filing_facets first to see which categories, types and codes exist in a window.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Optional case-insensitive substring of the headline category |
| document_type | string | – | Optional exact file type, e.g. PDF, HTML, XLS, DOC |
| from_date | string | yes | YYYY-MM-DD or DD/MM/YYYY |
| max_results | integer | – | Maximum filings to fetch and return (default 50, cap 200) |
| stock_code | string | – | Optional exact HKEx stock code, e.g. 01461 |
| stock_name | string | – | Optional case-insensitive substring of the stock short name |
| title_query | string | – | Optional case-insensitive substring of the filing title |
| to_date | string | yes | YYYY-MM-DD or DD/MM/YYYY |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | object | yes | The filings matching the window and filters. |
