MCP server for SEC filings and company financial data
Ticker Scout runs a free Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.tickerscout.ai/mcp. It gives an AI agent six tools over 94 public companies, whose income statement, balance sheet and cash flow are already assembled from their SEC filings: no XBRL concept selection, no deriving a discrete quarter from year-to-date columns, no scale factor to infer. Annual and quarterly report summaries and material event histories come with them. There is no API key, no signup and no paywall. The tools return only what you ask for, so an agent can read one section of a filing summary instead of downloading the whole document.

Tools
| Tool | Arguments | Returns |
|---|---|---|
| list_companies | query (optional) | Every company covered, with the fiscal period of its latest data and the predicted date of its next SEC filing. Resolves a company name to a ticker. |
| get_company | ticker | Identity and coverage manifest: name, CIK, exchange, SIC industry, the fiscal period held, and the SEC filings behind it — the annual report and the latest quarterly report, each with its accession number and a link to it on EDGAR. |
| get_key_figures | ticker | Headline figures for the latest reported period: revenue, net income, diluted EPS and similar, each with its year-over-year change and source accession. |
| get_financials | ticker, sections (optional) | Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow already assembled, with segment revenue and per-share figures, in actual dollars on the company's own fiscal calendar. Request one section instead of the whole file when that is all you need. |
| get_narrative | ticker, section (optional) | Business description, risk factors, MD&A, legal proceedings and subsequent events, condensed from the annual and quarterly reports themselves rather than from news. Returns a section index by default. |
| get_events | ticker, section (optional) | Material current reports (Form 8-K) over roughly the trailing five quarters: earnings, management changes, capital returns and financing, each citing its accession. |
Source
The server is open source under the MIT license: github.com/tickerscout/tickerscout-mcp. It is listed in the official MCP registry as ai.tickerscout/ticker-scout. It holds no data of its own; every tool call reads the same files published on this site, so what a tool returns and what a page shows cannot disagree.
FAQ · MCP server
Is there a free MCP server for SEC filings and company financials?
Yes. Ticker Scout runs one at https://mcp.tickerscout.ai/mcp. It is free, needs no API key and no signup, and exposes financial statements, 10-K and 10-Q summaries and 8-K event histories for 94 public companies as MCP tools. The transport is streamable HTTP, so any MCP client that supports remote servers can add it with the URL alone.
How do I connect Claude to Ticker Scout's MCP server?
In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http ticker-scout https://mcp.tickerscout.ai/mcp. In a client that reads an mcpServers config file, such as Cursor, add an entry named ticker-scout with the url https://mcp.tickerscout.ai/mcp. In Claude on the web or desktop, add it as a custom connector under Settings, then Connectors, and paste the same URL.
What data does the Ticker Scout MCP server return?
Six tools: list_companies, get_company, get_key_figures, get_financials, get_narrative and get_events. Every figure is derived from a company's own filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and cites the SEC accession number it came from. All money is in actual dollars and all share counts are actual shares. No market price data is published.
Why use this instead of the SEC EDGAR or CompanyFacts API?
Because the assembly is already done. EDGAR and the CompanyFacts API give you facts; this gives you statements. The income statement, balance sheet and cash flow arrive as statements with line items in reported order, so there is no XBRL concept selection, no choosing between us-gaap tags and company extension tags, no deriving a discrete quarter out of year-to-date columns and no scale factor to infer. Figures are drawn across a company's filings, because no single filing holds the whole record, and are put on that company's own fiscal calendar in actual dollars. Every one of them still cites the SEC accession number it came from, so anything the server returns can be checked against sec.gov.
Does the Ticker Scout MCP server cost anything or need an API key?
No. There is no API key, no signup, no paywall and no rate limit. The data is free to read and cite; attribution to Ticker Scout (tickerscout.ai) is requested. It is factual synthesis of public SEC filings, not investment advice.
Is the Ticker Scout MCP server open source?
Yes. The source is at https://github.com/tickerscout/tickerscout-mcp under the MIT license, so you can read exactly what each tool does before connecting it. The server is also listed in the official MCP registry as ai.tickerscout/ticker-scout. It stores no data of its own: every tool call reads the same files published at https://tickerscout.ai.
