## Pricing

from $20.00 / 1,000 filing search / lists

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 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`)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sec-edgar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://USERNAME--sec-edgar-mcp.apify.actor/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer ${APIFY_TOKEN}"
      ],
      "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.

### Example calls

`get_fundamentals` for Apple:

```json
{ "ticker": "AAPL" }
```

returns the latest annual revenue (~$416B FY2025), net income, total assets,
EPS, operating cash flow, and more — each tagged with the originating filing.

`search_filings`:

```json
{ "query": "artificial intelligence", "forms": ["10-K"], "limit": 5 }
```

`get_filing_chunks` for Apple's latest 10-K, Risk Factors only:

```json
{ "ticker": "AAPL", "form": "10-K", "item": "1A", "maxChunks": 10 }
```

### Pricing (pay per event)

Charged once per successful, result-bearing tool call:

| Event | Tools | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| `filing-search` | `search_filings`, `get_company_filings` | $0.02 |
| `fundamentals` | `get_fundamentals` | $0.03 |
| `filing-chunks` | `get_filing_chunks` | $0.05 |
| `resolve` | `resolve_company` | $0.005 |

Failed or empty calls are not billed.

### 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

This Actor is unaffiliated with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
