Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

recent

recent_notices

CEC published notice records in Chinese or available English summaries; at most 30 days. Falls back to Chinese when English is unavailable, without translation. Published records are not verified current rules. Official Chinese exchange notices take precedence.

recent_rule_changes

CEC published rule changes: margin, price limits, position/opening limits, fees, delivery and listing. Requested window at most 90 days; reports actual available window, never current parameter history. Official Chinese exchange notices take precedence.

trading

trading_day

Exchange-local trading date and civil/incoming night attribution. Mainland China and the 24 MO scopes; SGX is equity/FX/rates, HKEX is cash equities. Outside published coverage is unknown. Official exchange notices take precedence.

trading_hours

FC product session templates, explicit day-offset units and special hours under data contract v0.1. Date selects the exchange-local schedule; no real-time market status or prices. Missing prerequisites are unknown. Official exchange notices take precedence.

contract

contract_expiry

Published FC last-trading/first-notice dates for a product and optional YYYYMM delivery month (default next published month). Never runs an expiry engine; unpublished months are unknown with a product-page link. Official exchange notices take precedence.

next_closure

Next published exchange holiday or half-day from the fixed MO static calendar list; weekends alone are not holiday events. No extrapolation beyond coverage. Official exchange notices take precedence.

The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is China Futures Clock mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around recent and trading. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is China Futures Clock working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 81 of 81 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 443 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect China Futures Clock?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does China Futures Clock need an API key?

No. China Futures Clock completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is China Futures Clock?

It answers our handshake in 443 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
