What is the SEC EDGAR MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent with the primary source for US corporate intelligence through the SEC EDGAR MCP server. This integration provides real-time access to the Securities and Exchange Commission's database of public company filings. Your agent can retrieve recent submissions (like annual 10-K and quarterly 10-Q reports), extract specific XBRL financial facts, and audit disclosures for any public entity using its Central Index Key (CIK). Whether you are conducting fundamental analysis, auditing regulatory compliance, or researching corporate history, your agent acts as a dedicated financial analyst through natural conversation.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find the CIK for a company like Apple?
You can search for a company's CIK on the official SEC website or ask your agent to find it. For Apple, the CIK is '0000320193'. Remember to use the leading zeros if necessary.
Can I see the latest 10-K filing for a specific entity?
Yes! Use the get_submissions tool with the company's CIK. The response will list the most recent filings, and you can identify the 10-K report among them.
What is XBRL data?
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a standardized format for business reporting. It allows the SEC and analysts to extract specific financial facts (like Net Income) from filings programmatically.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
