Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

edgar
edgar_get_8k
Recent 8-K material event filings for a company, with classified event types ('material_acquisition', 'executive_change', 'auditor_change', 'results_of_operations', etc.). Use this when the user asks 'has anything material happened with <company>'.
edgar_get_company
Company metadata by ticker or CIK: legal name, SIC industry classification, exchanges listed, fiscal year end. Use this when the user wants to know who/what a company is, before drilling into filings.
edgar_get_facts
Get XBRL-structured financial facts for a company (revenue, operating income, net income, cash, assets, etc.). Accepts common-name aliases ('revenue', 'eps') OR XBRL concepts ('Revenues', 'EarningsPerShareDiluted'). Returns one row per (fiscal_year, fiscal_period), preferring latest-filed when amendments exist.
edgar_read_filing
Fetch the full text (HTML) of a specific filing by accession number. Useful when the user wants to read the actual content of a 10-K/8-K. Truncates at ~80K characters; use search to narrow first.
edgar_search_filings
Search SEC EDGAR filings for a US-listed company. Returns recent filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, Form 4, etc.) filtered by ticker or CIK, form type, and date range. Use this when the user asks 'what did <company> file' or needs to find a specific filing.

SEC EDGAR — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SEC EDGAR do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: edgar_get_8k, edgar_get_company, edgar_get_facts, edgar_read_filing, edgar_search_filings. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is SEC EDGAR working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 6 of 91 checks got a reply (6.6%), average response time 253 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists SEC EDGAR as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect SEC EDGAR?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does SEC EDGAR need an API key?
No. SEC EDGAR completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is SEC EDGAR?
It answers our handshake in 253 ms on average, which is faster than 53% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is SEC EDGAR open source?
Yes — it is published under the NOASSERTION licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
