SEC Tracker MCP: SEC filings for AI agents, every figure cited

A Model Context Protocol server over SEC Tracker's filings data. Recipe tools answer common questions (8-K triage, insider activity, dilution, a company primer, earnings releases) with typed inputs, and every finding names the filing it came from, with a link to SEC.gov.

Recipe tools

A recipe is a common question as one tool call. Each answer is a list of findings; each finding carries its citations (form, accession, filed date, SEC.gov URL). A finding SEC Tracker cannot tie to a filing is dropped, never shown without a source. When there is nothing to report the answer says so in stop.

Tool	Inputs	Answers
eight_k_triage	company, days (30, 60, 90)	Sorts a company's 8-Ks into load-bearing, context and noise by item code, one cited verdict each; a restatement leads.
insider_activity	company, days (30, 90, 180, 365)	Open-market Form 4 buys, sales and 10b5-1 planned sales, cluster buys first, the largest trades with their filings.
dilution_check	company	Shares outstanding and every stated source of new shares: shelf room, ATM, warrants, convertibles, options and RSUs.
company_primer	company	Latest 10-K or 10-Q, revenue, net income, cash, debt, shares outstanding and the last five material filings.
earnings_release	company	The latest results 8-K (Item 2.02), the press-release exhibit to read, and whether the 10-Q or 10-K already covers it.
get_report	report, quarter	A State-of report for a quarter: insider-buying or small-cap-dilution, with the rows behind every figure.
list_recipes, get_recipe	name	The recipes and their step-by-step prompts (also served as MCP prompts).

Every recipe is also an MCP prompt (prompts/list, prompts/get): the steps, the output shape and the rules, so an assistant can run it end to end.

Example

curl -s https://search.sectracker.app/mcp/v1 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SECTRACKER_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"eight_k_triage","arguments":{"company":"AAPL","days":30}}}'

The text part of the result:

Apple Inc. (AAPL): eight_k_triage as of 2026-11-05.
1. 1 8-K in the last 30 days: 1 load-bearing, 0 context, 0 noise. [8-K 0000320193-26-000024 filed 2026-11-02]
2. 2026-11-02 8-K, load-bearing: Item 2.02 (Results). … [8-K 0000320193-26-000024 filed 2026-11-02]

Rules for agents

Answer only from tool results and cite the accession of every figure.
Say "not stated" where a filing does not say; never estimate a missing figure.
Pass as_of for a point-in-time answer: only filings accepted by then count.
Market prices are not part of this data. Do not present answers as investment advice.

/mcp/v1 is stable: tools and fields are only added, never renamed or removed. A breaking change ships as /mcp/v2 beside it. The unversioned /mcp stays for existing clients.
