Implementation Reference

• edgar_mcp/server.py:699-712 (handler)

  Main async handler function decorated with @mcp.tool() that accepts ticker, year, and quarter parameters. It delegates to _run_tool_guarded with the tool name and arguments.
  @mcp.tool() async def get_filings( ticker: str, year: int, quarter: int, ) -> dict: """ Fetch SEC filing metadata for a company. Returns list of 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K (earnings release) filings with URLs, dates, and fiscal period assignments. """ return await _run_tool_guarded( "get_filings", {"ticker": ticker, "year": year, "quarter": quarter}, )
• edgar_mcp/server.py:315-320 (helper)

  Proxy function that makes the actual API call to the remote EDGAR API. Calls /api/filings endpoint with ticker, year, and quarter parameters.
  def _proxy_get_filings(args: dict) -> dict: return _call_api("/api/filings", { "ticker": args["ticker"], "year": args["year"], "quarter": args["quarter"], })
• edgar_mcp/server.py:647-654 (registration)

  Tool dispatch dictionary that registers 'get_filings' to its proxy function _proxy_get_filings. Used by _run_tool_guarded to route tool calls.
  _TOOL_DISPATCH = { "get_filings": _proxy_get_filings, "get_financials": _proxy_get_financials, "get_metric": _proxy_get_metric, "list_metrics": _proxy_list_metrics, "search_metrics": _proxy_search_metrics, "get_filing_sections": _proxy_get_filing_sections, }
• edgar_mcp/server.py:656-663 (registration)

  Tool timeout configuration that sets a 30-second timeout for get_filings tool execution.
  _TOOL_TIMEOUT = { "get_filings": 30, "get_financials": 60, "get_metric": 30, "list_metrics": 45, "search_metrics": 45, "get_filing_sections": 60, }
• edgar_mcp/server.py:73-99 (helper)

  HTTP helper function that makes GET requests to the remote EDGAR API with authentication and error handling.
