Overview

What is Transcode?

Transcode is a platform that provides structured Japanese public information via API for AI agents. It integrates 10 data sources—including TDnet, EDINET, gBizINFO, e-Stat, J-Quants, FRED, BOJ, JPX, real-time macro indicators, and an AI interpretation layer (Gemini 2.5 Flash)—into 35 endpoints and 22 MCP tools for comprehensive Japan market intelligence.

How to use Transcode?

Install the MCP server by cloning the repository, configuring environment variables (e.g., JI_API_KEY), and running with Node. For Claude Desktop or Cursor, add the MCP configuration pointing to the dist/index.js script with JAPAN_INTELLIGENCE_API_URL and JI_API_KEY environment variables. The API is also accessible directly via REST with an API key (header, bearer, or query parameter) at https://japan-intelligence-api.onrender.com.
