Japan Trade Statistics (customs data) missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

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

item
get_item
Item details: parent and child levels, unit, and the months covered. Use this to navigate the hierarchy. For an item's figures, partners and growth, use get_item_summary; use this to navigate parent and child levels. / 品目の詳細(上位・下位の区切り、単位、データのある期間)を返します。下位の品目をたどるときに使います。品目の金額・相手国・伸びなどの全体像は get_item_summary を使います。こちらは区切りの上下をたどるときに。
get_item_summary
One call for an item overview: last-12-month value with YoY and 3-year change, main partners and their growth, growing and declining partners, new markets, seasonality, yearly trend, concentration and a one-line summary. Use this first for questions about an item. / 品目の全体像を1回で返します(直近12か月の金額と前年比・3年前比、主な相手国と伸び、伸びた国・減った国、新しい市場、季節の波、年ごとの推移、集中度、1行の要約)。品目について聞かれたら、まずこれを使います。
catalog
get_catalog
Call this first. Returns periods and latest months for exports and imports, levels, which tool answers which question, keyless limits and known source-data gaps. / まず最初に呼ぶ道具。輸出・輸入それぞれの期間と最新月、区切り、どの問いにどの道具を使うか、キーなしの範囲、元データの欠けを返します。
country
get_country_summary
Use this for the overall picture of trade with one country: exports, imports, balance, YoY and the main items, in one call. For one item's breakdown by partner, use get_partners. / ある国との貿易の全体像(輸出額・輸入額・差し引き・前年比・主な品目)を1回で知りたいときに使います。ある品目の相手国ごとの内訳は get_partners を使います。
items
search_items
Find items by name or code. Use this first when you do not know the code. 9-digit codes differ between exports and imports; check each result's flow. / 品名やコードから品目を探します。品目コードが分からないときに最初に使います。9桁の番号は輸出と輸入で体系が違うため、結果の flow でどちらの番号かを確かめてください。
meta
get_meta
Latest month and each month's status for exports and imports, the latest month common to both, the first month of data for each level (chapters and sections from 1988), and sources. For which tool to use and known data gaps, use get_catalog instead. / 輸出・輸入それぞれの最新の月と各月の速報/確報、両方にある最新の月、区切りごとのデータの開始月(類・部は1988年から)、出典を返します。道具の使い分けや欠けの一覧も知りたいときは get_catalog を使います。
new
get_new_markets
Partners that newly appeared (last 12 months at or above the minimum, previous 12 months under USD 100,000) and partners that surged (2x or more). / 新しく取引が始まった相手(直近12か月が下限以上で、前の12か月が10万ドル未満)と、急に増えた相手(2倍以上)を返します。
partners
get_partners
Partner-country breakdown and shares for an item (one month or the last 12 months): destinations for exports, origins for imports. / 品目の相手国の内訳とシェア(その月、または直近12か月)。輸出なら輸出先、輸入なら輸入元。
ranking
get_ranking
Item ranking. For export or import, by value or yoy; for both, by balance (order=asc for the largest deficits). Set country to rank trade with one country. / 品目のランキング。export・import は金額(value)か前年比(yoy)、both は差し引き(balance、order=asc で輸入超過の大きい順)。country を指定するとその国との取引での順位。
report
report_data_issue
Report a data problem (differs from official figures, missing, wrong name, etc.) to the operator. Returns no figures. / データの誤り(公表値と違う、欠けている、名前が違う など)を運営者に知らせます。数字の答えは返しません。
seasonality
get_seasonality
Seasonality: monthly shares over the last three full years with year-to-year range, peak and low months, for the world and the top 5 partners (or one country). / 季節の波を返します。直近の丸3年の月ごとの割合と年によるばらつき、山の月・谷の月。全世界と上位5か国(country を指定すればその国)。
series
get_series
Monthly series for an item (value, quantity, unit price, YoY, MoM, preliminary/revised). With flow=both, exports, imports and the balance side by side. Chapters and sections start in 1988; 9-, 6- and 4-digit codes start in 2022. Use freq=year for long-term trends, or set from for older months (without from, months start in January 2022). Some import chapters and sections for April 2018–December 2019 return no value but gap="source" with an explanation, because the source e-Stat table lacks data. This does not mean there was no trade. / 品目の月ごとの推移(金額・数量・単価・前年比・前月比・速報/確報)。flow=both なら輸出・輸入・差し引きを並べます。類・部は1988年から、9桁・6桁・4桁は2022年から。長期の推移は freq=year、月ごとの過去分は from を付けます(from を省くと2022年1月から)。輸入の類・部の 2018年4月〜2019年12月の一部は、元データ(e-Stat の統計表)に欠けがあるため値を返さず gap="source" と説明文を返します。取引が無かったという意味ではありません。

Japan Trade Statistics (customs data) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Japan Trade Statistics (customs data) do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_catalog, get_country_summary, get_item, get_item_summary, get_meta, get_new_markets and 6 more. 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 →
Is Japan Trade Statistics (customs data) working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1444 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Japan Trade Statistics (customs data)?
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 Japan Trade Statistics (customs data) need an API key?
No. Japan Trade Statistics (customs data) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Japan Trade Statistics (customs data)?
It answers our handshake in 1444 ms on average, which is faster than 1% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
