What you get

Coverage

Detail

20M+ EDGAR filings, 100M+ exhibits

From license agreements, investor presentations and other Reg FD disclosures, over insider trading, credit and bond agreements, bylaws, IPOs, secondaries and shelf offerings, M&A terms, government contracts, audit reports, SEC enforcement actions, AAERs and executive employment agreements, to board composition, subsidiaries, public float and cybersecurity incidents.

1.1M+ entities, survivorship-bias free

Every SEC-regulated filer that ever reported, including delisted companies, dissolved funds, terminated advisers and entities no longer reporting. Insiders, public and private companies, financial advisers, ETFs, mutual funds, hedge funds, money-market funds, institutional investors, foreign private issuers, BDCs, REITs, shell companies, brokers, dealers, asset-backed securities issuers and SROs.

All 500+ EDGAR form types

Annual and quarterly reports (10-K, 10-Q, 20-F, 40-F), proxy statements (DEF 14A, PRE 14A) and proxy voting records, registration statements and prospectuses, and everything in between, including form types no longer in use.

Full historical range, 1993 to present

Updated in real time as EDGAR ingests new filings.

All of it reaches your agent through the 49 tools below. Documents come back as raw source, PDF or a single extracted section. Structured data comes back as JSON.

Transport

The server is remote and speaks Streamable HTTP. There is nothing to install and no stdio server to run.

Clients that only support stdio can bridge to it:

npx mcp-remote https://api.sec-api.io/mcp?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY

Verify the server from a terminal without any client:

curl -s https://api.sec-api.io/mcp?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'

Limits

  • Some tools return large payloads. See limits and errors before wiring them into an agent loop.
