`hk_new_companies`

Pack: hk-companies · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

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

Companies newly incorporated (Hong Kong local) or newly registered/re-domiciled (non-Hong Kong) on the Companies Registry since a given date — the official weekly open-data feed via data.gov.hk (新註冊/新成立公司, since 2024-12-30). Returns each company’s BR number, English/Chinese name, type, and incorporation-or-registration date, most recent first. The feed has roughly a 1-week publication lag, so a since newer than the latest published week returns zero rows with a data_lag_note explaining it — that is lag, not “no new companies”. Use for “new Hong Kong companies this week”, “companies incorporated in HK since ”.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`since`	string	no	Only include companies incorporated/registered on/after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Default: 7 days before the latest published week.
`type`	string	no	Restrict to Hong Kong local companies (“local”) or non-Hong Kong companies (“non_hk”). Omit for both.
`limit`	number,string	no	Max companies to return, 1-200 (default 50).
