Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Who it's for

Built for the work SEC EDGAR owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need to move from raw SEC filings to actionable financial models quickly.

  • 01

    Financial Analysts

    They use the agent to pull raw XBRL data for financial modeling instead of manual entry.

  • 02

    Investors

    They monitor recent filings and compare industry metrics using standardized data.

  • 03

    Compliance Officers

    They verify submission histories and the accuracy of disclosures for specific CIKs.

FAQ

Questions SEC EDGAR owners ask.

  • 01

    What is the SEC User-Agent requirement?

    The SEC requires a User-Agent string to comply with their Fair Access policy. You will need to enter this string when setting up the MCP.

  • 02

    Which financial taxonomies are supported?

    The MCP provides access to XBRL facts across standard taxonomies, including US-GAAP and IFRS.

  • 03

    How do I identify a specific company?

    You use the company's Central Index Key (CIK) to pull its filing history or specific financial facts.

  • 04

    Can I compare data across multiple companies?

    Yes, you can use the capability to aggregate specific financial data points across all reporting entities for a given period.

  • 05

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 06

    How do I find the filing history for a specific company?

    Use the get_submissions capability with the company's Central Index Key (CIK). For example, Apple is 320193. The capability automatically handles leading zeros.

  • 07

    Can I retrieve specific financial metrics like 'Net Income' for a company?

    Yes. Use get_company_concept by providing the CIK, the taxonomy (usually 'us-gaap'), and the XBRL tag (like 'NetIncomeLoss').

  • 08

    How can I compare a single metric across all companies for a specific year?

    Use the get_xbrl_frames capability. You can specify a concept, unit, and period (e.g., 'CY2023') to get data for every reporting entity in that timeframe.
