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.
What you can do
- Submission Tracking — Retrieve the most recent filings for any public company.
- Financial Fact Extraction — Access structured XBRL data for balance sheets, income statements, and more.
- Concept Lookup — Fetch company disclosures for specific financial concepts across multiple years.
- Entity Identification — Use CIKs to precisely target data for specific public entities.

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.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
