Workflow Setup

This recipe shows how to move SEC filing data into automation tools using live HTTPS endpoints and standard API credentials.

Add https://api.data-apis.com/mcp as a remote MCP server URL in a client that supports Streamable HTTP remote servers.
Configure x-api-key or Authorization: Bearer in clients that support custom request headers for remote MCP calls.
Confirm the tool list includes sec_demo_latest_filings, sec_subscription_info, sec_watchlist_changes, sec_company_search, and sec_filing_summary.
Call sec_demo_latest_filings or sec_subscription_info without a key, then use API-key headers for production filing tools.

Endpoints Used

The integration uses live SEC Event Intelligence endpoints available through RapidAPI subscriptions.

POST /mcp
GET /server.json

Integration FAQ

Is this a local MCP server?

No. It is a hosted remote MCP endpoint. Buyers connect to the HTTPS URL instead of running a local EDGAR service.

Which clients can use it?

Use clients that support remote MCP URLs over Streamable HTTP and can send API key or bearer headers for data-returning tool calls.

Does the MCP endpoint provide investment advice?

No. It exposes public SEC filing metadata only and does not provide recommendations, ratings, signals, or personalized financial guidance.
