SEC EDGAR MCP Server — Filings & Fundamentals for AI Agents

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI agent direct, citation-tagged access to official SEC EDGAR data — full-text filing search, a company's filings, RAG-ready filing text chunks, and normalized XBRL fundamentals. It runs as an Apify Standby Actor speaking MCP over Streamable HTTP at /mcp. No API keys, no scraping gimmicks — just the SEC's keyless public endpoints, rate-limited under the official 10 requests/second ceiling with a compliant User-Agent.

Keywords: SEC MCP server, SEC EDGAR for AI agents, Claude finance tool, Cursor SEC filings, 10-K / 10-Q / 8-K full-text search, XBRL fundamentals, RAG-ready SEC filings, financial research MCP.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Key inputs
search_filings	Full-text search across all SEC filers (EFTS).	query, forms?, since?, until?, limit?
get_company_filings	List one company's own filings with parsed Items.	ticker? or cik?, forms?, since?, until?, limit?
get_fundamentals	Latest normalized XBRL fundamentals (revenue, net income, assets, EPS, cash flow…). Prefers annual 10-K figures.	ticker? or cik?, concepts?
get_filing_chunks	Fetch one filing's primary document, clean it (inline-XBRL + tables resolved), segment by SEC Item, return token-budgeted, citation-tagged chunks.	accessionNumber? or ticker?+form?, item?, maxChunks?, chunkSize?, chunkOverlap?
resolve_company	Resolve a ticker/CIK to { ticker, cik, companyName }.	ticker? or cik?

Every record carries a human-readable citation string plus deep_link / primaryDocUrl / filingIndexUrl so an agent can ground and cite without a second lookup. Ticker or CIK is accepted everywhere.

Connect an MCP client

Once the Actor is running in Standby, its MCP endpoint is:

https://USERNAME--sec-edgar-mcp.apify.actor/mcp

with an Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> header.

Claude Desktop / Cursor (via mcp-remote)

  "mcpServers": {
    "sec-edgar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",

      ],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "<your-apify-token>" }

Native Streamable HTTP client

Point the client at the /mcp URL above with the Authorization header. The server is stateless Streamable HTTP — no SSE.

Configuration

Standby Actors take no per-run input. Configure via environment variable:

• SEC_USER_AGENT_EMAIL — contact email sent in the SEC User-Agent header (default admin@commonelements.com). The SEC requires a descriptive User-Agent; set this to a real contact.

In the Apify Console: enable Standby (suggested min 256 / max 1024 MB, 300s idle timeout) and set the monetization model to Pay per event pointing at .actor/pay_per_event.json.

Data sources (all keyless, official)

• company_tickers.json — ticker → CIK
• data.sec.gov/submissions/... — filing listings
• efts.sec.gov/LATEST/search-index — full-text search
• www.sec.gov/Archives/... — filing documents
• data.sec.gov/api/xbrl/... — XBRL fundamentals
