Open-source SEC EDGAR toolkit — 11 tools, 7 prompts, every filing type. No API key required.
Open-source SEC EDGAR toolkit — 11 tools, 7 prompts, every filing type. No API key required. That is what the edgartools mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
SEC EDGAR has every filing back to 1994, free — and almost none of it is ready to use. EdgarTools turns any filing into a typed Python object, so a 10-K's revenue is one line instead of an afternoon of XBRL parsing.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
The server publishes 1 tool. What each one is for:
Contributing — The Contributing tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: EDGAR_IDENTITY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. EdgarTools's toolset — Contributing — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by dgunning; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
