Edgar MCP
Edgar MCP provides AI agents with access to standardized SEC EDGAR financial data for over 8,000 US public companies. It offers tools to search companies, retrieve company profiles, fetch standardized financial statements (income, balance sheet, cash flow), access metric history, and list financial concepts, all without requiring an API key or authentication.
Endpoint and access
No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.
https://edgar.morningbrief.link/mcpWhat you can do with it
- Search for US public companies by ticker or name
- Retrieve standardized financial statements for a specific company
- Get historical metric data like revenue or net income

search_companies
Searches the SEC EDGAR company directory by ticker or company name fragment and/or industry (SIC) and returns each match's CIK (the SEC's permanent company ID), primary ticker, name, exchange, industry (SIC code and description), and facts_rows (number of standardized financial fact rows loaded — >0 means financials are available). Use to find a company's identifiers before calling get_company or the financial tools; use get_company instead when you already hold a ticker or CIK and want one company's full profile. Read-only lookup of the stored directory; no API key. The directory covers all EDGAR filers and is refreshed from the SEC's ticker files; an exact ticker match ranks first, name matching is case-insensitive, a query over 40 characters is rejected, and industry-filtered lists sort covered companies first. Provide `query`, `sic`, and/or `sic_prefix` — at least one is required; `sic` is an exact industry match of 1-4 digits (e.g. '3674' semiconductors) and `sic_prefix` a 2-digit division match (e.g. '36' electronics).

}get_company
Returns one company's EDGAR profile by ticker or CIK — name, exchange, industry (SIC), fiscal year end, entity type, and state of incorporation — plus whether standardized financials are loaded for it and, if so, how many facts and the latest reported period. Use after search_companies to confirm a company's identity and financials availability; use get_financials instead for the statements themselves. Read-only; no API key. Provide `ticker` or `cik`; if both are given, `cik` takes precedence. Any listed ticker for a company resolves to that company, not just its primary ticker.

}get_financials
Standardized financial statements for one company from its SEC EDGAR XBRL filings — revenue, net income, EPS, cash flow, and balance-sheet concepts per fiscal period, latest periods first. Use for period-by-period statements; use get_metric_history instead for one concept's long time series, and list_financial_concepts to see which concepts exist. Read-only; no API key. Values are cleaned: when a period was reported more than once the latest filing wins, fiscal periods are verified, and values computed from reported components carry derived:true plus a 'derived:' source tag — this includes Q4 figures, derived as fiscal year minus Q1–Q3 because quarterly filings never contain a filed Q4 (a restated FY or quarter changes the derived value, so derived Q4 can differ from a Q4 filed later). Responses also carry a staleness flag when SEC submissions show a newer filing than the stored facts, and predecessor companies when a ticker moved between filers (e.g. a reorg), whose history is included in the periods. Every value carries per-value provenance (form, filed date, accession number). Identify the company by ticker or CIK (CIK wins if both are given). Coverage loads progressively — roughly 25 more companies refreshed per day, priority tiers first — so a valid company can legitimately return 'no financials stored yet'.

}get_metric_history
Time series for one standardized financial concept for one company (e.g. 'revenue', 'net_income', 'eps_diluted', 'total_assets'), from SEC EDGAR XBRL filings with history back to 2015. Use for a single metric's trend; use get_financials instead for full statements per period, and list_financial_concepts for the valid concept slugs. Read-only; no API key. Each point carries the period start/end, fiscal year and period labels, the value and unit, and per-value provenance (form, filed date, accession number); duplicates and restatements are resolved latest-filed-wins, and values computed from reported components carry derived:true plus a 'derived:' tag — including Q4 points derived as fiscal year minus Q1–Q3. The series spans a company's predecessor chain when a ticker moved between filers, and the response carries a staleness flag when SEC submissions show a newer filing than the stored facts. `period` defaults to all (annual plus quarterly points); `limit` defaults to 40 points, max 200.

}list_financial_concepts
Lists the 22 standardized financial concepts this API builds from SEC XBRL (revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit, operating and net income, EPS, assets, liabilities, equity, cash flow, capex, dividends, shares, and more), each with its label, unit, kind (duration flow vs instant balance-sheet snapshot), and the ordered source XBRL tags it is built from. Use to discover valid `concept` values before calling get_metric_history. Read-only reference data; no API key. A concept missing for a given company means the company reports none of its source tags — absence is honest, never approximated.
