Summary
Connects Claude to the EdgarParser API for source-backed SEC EDGAR financial data. You get 29 tools spanning XBRL financial statements, filing metadata, full document access with markdown conversion, table extraction and comparison across tickers, operational KPI discovery, and citation-ready evidence retrieval. The server itself is a thin stdio client that forwards requests to the hosted API, so you'll need an EDGAR_API_KEY. Useful when you're building financial analysis workflows that need structured GAAP concepts, time series comparisons, or grounded answers with section-level citations from 10-Ks and 10-Qs. Some tools like metric warming and extraction search require paid tier access.

Runtime Notes
- This is a thin client for the hosted EDGAR API and the public SEC submissions endpoint; it does not parse filings locally.
- Missing or invalid
EDGAR_API_KEYlets the server start, but hosted API tool calls return authentication errors;get_issuer_submissions_metadoes not require the key. - Large payload tools support
output="file"and write toEDGAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIRor a local fallback directory. - API rate limits and paid-tool access are enforced by the hosted service.
