canli-mcp / SEC EDGAR

What is a free MCP server for SEC EDGAR filings?

canli-mcp reads SEC filings for free with no API key: statements as filed, full-text search, insider trades, 13F holdings and a check of any figure against the filing. EdgarTools is another good option with no key, especially if you want a Python library first.

How many employees does NVIDIA say it has in its annual report?

The agent finds the tool through canli-mcp's find_tool and runs it through run_tool. This is the call:

  "name": "read_filing",
  "arguments": {
    "company": "NVDA",
    "form": "10-K",
    "find": "employees"
  }
}

The tools behind the answer

From canli-mcp's tool index
ToolPackWhat it does
read_filingmarketsThe text of an SEC filing: the latest of a form, or one by accession. For a 10-K or 10-Q, section returns one item ("risk factors", "md&a", "business", "market risk", "legal proceedings", or a number such as "1A"); without it the result lists the items and their lengths. document reads an exhibit, such as an 8-K's press release ("EX-99.1"). find returns only the passages with given words ("employees", "buyback"), the fastest way to a fact in a long filing; otherwise long text pages with offset.
