What is the difference between 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K?

10-K is the comprehensive annual report with audited financials (filed once/year). 10-Q is the quarterly update with unaudited financials (filed 3x/year). 8-K is a current report filed within 4 business days of material events — earnings, M&A, CEO changes, bankruptcy, etc.

What does Form 4 report?

Form 4 must be filed by corporate insiders (officers, directors, or 10%+ shareholders) when they buy or sell their own company's stock. It reveals executive sentiment.

How far back does the full-text search go?

The SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search generally indexes documents back to 2001, covering over two decades of corporate filings.

SEC EDGAR Filings — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Insider Trades & Full-Text Search + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating SEC EDGAR Filings — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Insider Trades & Full-Text Search MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
