What is the SEC EDGAR MCP Server?

The SEC EDGAR MCP Server is an Apify actor implementing the Model Context Protocol for the US Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR database. It exposes 7 tools your AI agent can call to search public companies, pull recent filings (10-K annual, 10-Q quarterly, 8-K events), retrieve XBRL financial facts, and track insider trading via Form 4. Use it standalone via the Apify API, or wire it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Continue.dev as an MCP server.

Every public company filing is free official data — this MCP server just makes it agent-ready.

Use cases

• Equity research agents — let your AI pull 5 years of revenue/profit/cash from XBRL facts in one call.
• Insider trading monitors — Form 4 filings on demand, by ticker.
• M&A intelligence bots — full-text search across 8-K filings to spot mergers, exec changes, material events.
• Compliance copilots — verify a company's SEC filings status before onboarding.
• Investment due diligence — pull the latest 10-K, parse risk factors, summarize.

FAQ — SEC EDGAR API for AI

Why use this MCP server vs scraping sec.gov? SEC EDGAR has an undocumented but stable JSON API at data.sec.gov. This actor wraps it cleanly, handles SEC's mandatory User-Agent rule, retries 429s, normalizes XBRL facts. Your agent gets clean records, not raw HTML.

Does this cover non-US filings? No — SEC EDGAR is US-only. For French companies see Pappers MCP Server. For French court / M&A data see BODACC MCP Server.

Can my AI agent run multi-step research with this? Yes — that's the point of MCP. An agent can chain search_companies → recent_filings → get_company_facts autonomously.
