What it can do

Common questions

Is SEC EDGAR Insider Trades & Financials safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 16 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

SEC EDGAR MCP (remote)

A remote Model Context Protocol server and JSON API for U.S. SEC EDGAR data, running on Cloudflare Workers. It gives AI agents Form 4 insider trades, market-wide cluster buys, company filings, XBRL financials and EDGAR full-text search as compact JSON, with no XML parsing or CIK lookups needed.

Remote MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP, stateless): https://sec-edgar-api.kidriahx.workers.dev/mcp
Server card: https://sec-edgar-api.kidriahx.workers.dev/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
REST API spec: https://sec-edgar-api.kidriahx.workers.dev/openapi.yaml
MCP Registry name: io.github.monriah-studio/sec-edgar-mcp
Tutorial: Give your AI agent SEC EDGAR data: a free remote MCP server for insider trades and XBRL financials (dev.to)

Data comes straight from SEC EDGAR (public domain) under SEC fair-access rules: a declared User-Agent, a global rate limit of about 8.7 req/s (under SEC's 10 req/s) and caching. Not affiliated with the SEC. Not investment advice.

Tools

Tool	What it returns
`get_insider_trades`	Form 4 transactions for a company (ticker/CIK) or an insider (reporting-owner CIK): who bought or sold, role, shares, price, dollar value, 10b5-1 flag and filing link, with buy/sell totals.
`get_market_insider_buys`	Open-market insider purchases across the whole market, grouped by company, with cluster-buy detection (2+ insiders).
`get_company_filings`	Latest 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K (with item numbers), S-1, proxy and other filings, with direct document links.
`get_company_snapshot`	Revenue, margins, net income, EPS, cash flow, balance sheet and debt, with YoY growth, from XBRL.
`get_company_concept`	Annual or quarterly history of any XBRL tag (e.g. `NetIncomeLoss`, `Revenues`).
`search_filings`	EDGAR full-text search with phrase, form and date filters.
`resolve_company`	Ticker ↔ CIK lookup.

Connect a client

Any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP can use the URL directly. For example:

"mcpServers": { "sec-edgar": { "type": "http", "url": "https://sec-edgar-api.kidriahx.workers.dev/mcp" } } }

Claude Code users can run claude mcp add --transport http sec-edgar https://sec-edgar-api.kidriahx.workers.dev/mcp. Each client uses a slightly different format, so see the agent kit below for exact files.

If the operator has set MCP_API_KEYS, send a key as Authorization: Bearer , X-API-Key: or ?api_key= . The public endpoint above needs no key.

Example prompts:

"Which companies had cluster insider buying (2+ insiders) in the last 30 days?"
"Show NVIDIA's last 10 insider sales and whether they were under 10b5-1 plans."
"Compare Apple's revenue, net margin and debt-to-equity with last year."
"Find 8-K filings this year that mention 'share repurchase'."

More are in prompts/.

Agent kit

Everything you need to plug the server into an agent, tested against the live endpoint:

[`docs/SETUP.md`](docs/SETUP.md): a step-by-step setup guide for each client, plus troubleshooting.
[`kit/`](kit/README.md): copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop (via mcp-remote or a custom connector), Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and a generic Streamable HTTP example (curl, Node SDK, Python SDK).
[`skills/`](skills/): four Agent Skills (SKILL.md) that teach the agent reliable workflows:
insider-buying-scan: market-wide cluster buys, then per-company trade detail and context
company-financial-snapshot: a multi-year XBRL table (revenue, net income, cash) that de-duplicates periods correctly
filing-monitor: an 8-K digest for a watchlist, with decoded item numbers
earnings-prep: a one-page brief before an earnings report
[`prompts/`](prompts/README.md): 10 example prompts and the tools each one should trigger.
`test/skills.mjs`: node test/skills.mjs runs every skill workflow against the live endpoint (Node 18+, no install).

Need bulk or scheduled data?

This MCP server is free and is meant for interactive, agent-sized lookups: one company or a handful of filings per call. If you need more than that, such as daily 8-K alerts across the whole market, filings for hundreds of tickers, keyword sweeps over a date range, or results delivered to a dataset, webhook or spreadsheet on a schedule, we also publish a paid Apify Actor built on the same SEC sources:

[SEC EDGAR Filings & Financials API](https://apify.com/monriah-studio/sec-edgar-filings) (Apify)

companyFilings: 8-K or any form by ticker
marketFilings: every filing of chosen forms across all companies in a date range, with 8-K item and full-text keyword filters
financials: XBRL snapshots for a list of tickers
Scheduling and change detection (onlyNewSinceLastRun), so you only get filings you haven't seen
Pay per result: $0.002 per filing row and $0.005 per company snapshot, with a maxResults cap. Apify's free plan includes monthly platform credit.

You don't need it to use anything in this repo. The MCP server stays free, and the Actor is optional for batch and scheduled jobs. Insider trades aren't part of that Actor; for those, use this server's get_insider_trades and get_market_insider_buys.

REST endpoints

The same Worker also serves a REST API (see openapi.yaml): /v1/insider-trades/{tickerOrCik}, /v1/insider-buys, /v1/filings/{tickerOrCik}, /v1/company/{tickerOrCik}/snapshot, /v1/company/{tickerOrCik}/facts, /v1/company/{tickerOrCik}/concept/{taxonomy}/{tag}, /v1/search, /v1/resolve/{tickerOrCik}, plus /health.

Run locally

Requires Node.js 18+. No Cloudflare account is needed for local dev.

npm install

npx wrangler dev --test-scheduled # serves http://localhost:8787 (MCP at /mcp) node test/unit.mjs # unit tests node test/harness.mjs http://localhost:8787 # REST against live EDGAR node test/mcp.mjs http://localhost:8787 # MCP: lists tools and calls each one curl "localhost:8787/__scheduled?cron=*/10+*+*+*+*" # run the insider-buy cron once

Optional local secrets go in .dev.vars (git-ignored; see .dev.vars.example).

Deploy your own (Cloudflare Workers Free)

npx wrangler login
npx wrangler kv namespace create CACHE, then put the printed id in wrangler.toml ([[kv_namespaces]]).
Set SEC_USER_AGENT in wrangler.toml to your own name and a monitored email (SEC fair-access requirement).
npx wrangler deploy
Optional: npx wrangler secret put MCP_API_KEYS (protects /mcp) and npx wrangler secret put RAPIDAPI_PROXY_SECRET (protects REST).

The Durable Object rate limiter (SecRateLimiter) and the */10 * * * * cron are created automatically.
