## Install: one command

Needs [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/). No API key, no account, no Docker.

**Claude Code**
```bash
claude mcp add sec-ai -e SEC_USER_AGENT="Your Name you@example.com" -- uvx sec-finance-ai@latest
```

**VS Code**
```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"sec-ai","type":"stdio","command":"uvx","args":["sec-finance-ai@latest"],"env":{"SEC_USER_AGENT":"Your Name you@example.com"}}'
```

**Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client**: add to the client's MCP config (`claude_desktop_config.json`, `.cursor/mcp.json`, ...)
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sec-ai": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "sec-finance-ai@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SEC_USER_AGENT": "Your Name you@example.com"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

`@latest` checks PyPI on each start, so you always run the newest release. Without uv: `pip install sec-finance-ai` and use `"command": "sec-finance-ai"` with no args.

`SEC_USER_AGENT` is the name and e-mail the SEC asks every program to send. Leave it out and a built-in default is sent; everything still works.

## Ask it anything

- "What does Apple's latest 10-K say about Greater China?"
- "Read UnitedHealth's latest 10-Q and find the medical care ratio"
- "Berkshire Hathaway's top holdings in its latest 13F"
- "Search all 8-Ks from this year that mention 'going concern'"
- "Which companies had the highest revenue in 2024?"
- "Recent insider buying at NVIDIA" / "Activist 13D filings for GameStop"
- "Recent IPOs" / "Taiwan Semiconductor's latest 20-F"

## Why sec-ai

- **Reads whole filings, not just metadata**: the exact size is checked first, then text comes in 50,000-character pages, or as snippets around a search phrase, or as a link when a filing is over 25 MB. No context overflow.
- **Full-text search across every EDGAR filing since 2001**, by word or exact phrase, filtered by form and date.
- **13F portfolios with weights**, share classes merged; **cross-company XBRL rankings** (one metric, every company, one period).
- **Official SEC APIs only**: no third-party data service, no API key, no Docker. Requests are limited to sec.gov on every redirect.
- **Numbers checked at every release** against EDGAR directly (accession numbers, filing sizes, XBRL values).
- **Every tool is read-only** (MCP annotations). Foreign issuers covered (20-F, 6-K, 40-F).
- **The same toolkit runs everywhere**: MCP, OpenClaw and OpenWebUI, with thousands of downloads on ClawHub and OpenWebUI.
