Summary
The SEC Edgar MCP server provides AI assistants with access to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR filings through tools for company lookup, financial statement retrieval, and insider trading data. It offers capabilities organized into four categories: company information and CIK lookup, filing retrieval (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K), XBRL-parsed financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, cash flow), and Form 3/4/5 insider trading transactions, with all responses including SEC filing URLs for verification. The server solves the problem of integrating accurate, sourced financial and regulatory data into AI workflows by providing precise numeric data directly from official SEC sources.
