This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to SECfinAPI, a service that turns official SEC filings from US public companies into clean financial numbers. Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI questions about a company's revenue, profit, or balance sheet, and it goes and gets the real data for you. It is handy for anyone who works with company numbers, like analysts, accountants, founders, or students.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already learned. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to SECfinAPI, which holds standardized financial data from SEC EDGAR filings. So when you ask about a company's numbers, your AI can actually look them up instead of guessing.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question in normal words, like how a company's revenue has changed. Your AI passes that request to this helper running on your computer. The helper talks to SECfinAPI over the internet and asks for the right financial statement or ratio. SECfinAPI sends back the numbers, already cleaned up and standardized from the original SEC filings. Your AI then shows you the answer in the chat, often as a small table or a short summary.

What it gives back to you

You get back the numbers you asked for, usually as a short table or a list in the chat.

Company info comes back as basic details plus a link to the filings on SEC EDGAR. Your AI often adds a one-line summary on top.
