MCP.Pizza Chef: stefanoamorelli

Every US-listed company files annual and quarterly reports with the SEC, and this reaches into that archive on request: look up a company, pull a 10-K or 8-K and quote a specific section, read a balance sheet or cash-flow statement with the exact reported figures, or check what executives bought and sold. Each answer comes back with a link to the original filing so you can verify it yourself. It runs through Docker and needs no paid key, just a contact email.

sec-edgar-mcp FAQ

Is this still maintained?
Yes. It was updated in the first week of August 2026 and has an automated test suite.
Do I need to pay or get a key?
No. SEC filings are public. You only supply a name and email so the SEC knows who is asking.
Can I use this to check a company's revenue for last year?
Yes. It reads the reported figures out of the filing and links you to the source document.
How hard is setup?
You need Docker installed, then you paste the provided block into your app's settings.
Does it cover companies outside the US?
Only those that file with the US SEC. Purely foreign-listed companies are not in this archive.
