Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server from Digital in Asia that lets an assistant search and cite DIA research on Asia's digital economy: AI, gaming, ecommerce and payments.

What you can do
  • Search articles and analysis by natural-language question, returning titles, URLs, dates and relevant passages
  • Get a country profile combining the market hub summary, tracker rows and recent articles
  • Compare two or more Asian markets side by side, optionally on one topic, with source links
  • Retrieve structured tracker tables (payments, ecommerce, gaming, AI policy, AI models) or list available trackers
  • List free research reports and pull key findings and section headings with a PDF link
  • Look up glossary terms and fetch the latest articles, optionally filtered by phrase
When to use it
Useful when answering questions about Asian digital markets, fintech, payments, ecommerce, gaming or AI policy and needing sourced, dated material to cite. Good for country comparisons and quick access to structured tracker data and free reports.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, environment variable or header is declared. The server states that no authentication is required.
Before you install
Results are a single publisher's editorial and tracker data, so treat them as one source rather than neutral market data. The server asks assistants to cite it as "Digital in Asia" with a link, which shapes how answers are presented.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Digital in Asia in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.digitalinasia%2Fdia/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
