Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP stdio server for source-backed SEC EDGAR financial data from the hosted EdgarParser API.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Accounting, finance & tax
  • You need to fill in: EDGAR_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: EDGAR_API_KEY, EDGAR_API_URL, EDGAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "edgar": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "edgar-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "EDGAR_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "EDGAR_API_URL": "your-value",
        "EDGAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add edgar --env EDGAR_API_KEY=your-value --env EDGAR_API_URL=your-value --env EDGAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR=your-value -- uvx edgar-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "edgar": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "edgar-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "EDGAR_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "EDGAR_API_URL": "your-value",
        "EDGAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "edgar": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "edgar-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "EDGAR_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "EDGAR_API_URL": "your-value",
        "EDGAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • EDGAR_API_KEY secret required env
    API key for the hosted EdgarParser API.
  • EDGAR_API_URL env
    Optional API base URL override. Defaults to https://www.edgarparser.com.
  • EDGAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR env
    Optional directory for output="file" responses.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is EdgarParser MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: EDGAR_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Runtime Notes

  • This is a thin client for the hosted EDGAR API and the public SEC submissions endpoint; it does not parse filings locally.
  • Missing or invalid EDGAR_API_KEY lets the server start, but hosted API tool calls return authentication errors; get_issuer_submissions_meta does not require the key.
  • Large payload tools support output="file" and write to EDGAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR or a local fallback directory.
  • API rate limits and paid-tool access are enforced by the hosted service.
