# secfinapi-mcp
MCP server for [SECfinAPI](https://www.secfinapi.com) — standardized SEC EDGAR
financial data (income statements, balance sheets, cash flow, 40+ ratios) as
tools for Claude, Cursor, and other AI assistants.
Ask your AI assistant things like *"What's Apple's revenue trend?"* or
*"Compare MSFT and GOOGL operating margins"* — it fetches the data live
through SECfinAPI.
It runs locally on your machine and is a thin wrapper over the SECfinAPI
REST API. No server to host, no extra cost.
## Setup
1. Get an API key (free) at <https://www.secfinapi.com>.
2. Add the server to your AI assistant's MCP config.
### Claude Desktop
Open **Settings → Developer → Edit Config** and add:
**Once published to npm:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"secfinapi": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "secfinapi-mcp"],
"env": { "SECFINAPI_KEY": "your-api-key-here" }
}
}
}
```
**Running from source (before publishing):**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"secfinapi": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/path/to/sec-financial-mcp/dist/index.js"],
