No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_earnings_surprises for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

EPS actual vs analyst (consensus) estimate, beat or miss, for a company’s recent quarters — the “earnings surprise” history. Returns per quarter: fiscal period, EPS actual, EPS estimate, surprise amount and percent. Revenue is NOT included (Finnhub’s earnings-surprise data is EPS-only); for revenue estimates on upcoming quarters, see get_earnings_calendar. Example: get_earnings_surprises({ symbol: “MSFT”, limit: 4, _apiKey: “your-key” })
