EdgarParser MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• cite_concept

  Cite a registry-backed concept by returning the canonical concept value and the filing prose around that value from MD&A, notes, risk factors, and optional cached extraction spans.

• compare_concept

  Compare one registry-backed concept across a caller-provided list of filers. This is cross-filer comparison, not search: caller ticker order is preserved, and partial coverage is returned per row with available=false.

• compare_filing_tables

  Compare structured filing tables across caller-provided tickers in one response. Preserves ticker order and returns per-ticker availability, matching table metadata, and optionally hydrated table rows.

• concept_trend

  Return a cache-only time series for a registry-backed concept over a period range. v1 uses the latest filing's reported series and has no restatement awareness: it does not return restated or original_value fields.

• describe_filing

  Show cached data availability for one filing across XBRL, sections, tables, extraction schemas, and markdown. Read-only; does not populate caches.

• extract_filing_file

  Resolve a short-lived artifact handle issued by get_filing_sections and run scratch extraction for the requested schema via /api/documents/scratch-extract, without creating a canonical filing identity.

• get_concept

  Get a registry-backed financial concept value from cached XBRL financials. v1 resolves tag-backed concepts only and returns available=false for derivation or unsupported concepts. It never warms caches; call get_financials first when cache_status is cold.

• get_event_filings

  Discover SEC event filings by ticker/CIK, filing-date range, and form type. Use this for deal, financing, proxy, filed-communication, and status-update materials that are not tied to a fiscal quarter's 10-K/10-Q. Do not pass 10-K or 10-Q here; use get_filings for periodic filing discovery, or get_filing_document/get_filing_sections when periodic filing content is needed. Event-form examples includ

• get_extraction_series

  Periodized counts (and optional hits) for langextract spans across a YYYY-Qn/YYYY-FY period range. ISO dates are not accepted. Cache read only. For raw cross-filing hits, use search_extractions.

• get_filing_cover_facts

  Get exact cover-page DEI facts from a 10-K/10-Q, including citation-ready source metadata. Use this for outstanding-share questions instead of balance-sheet common-stock rows or weighted-average share metrics. Related tools: get_filing_document for markdown, get_filing_evidence for qualitative evidence, and get_filing_extractions for cached structured spans.

• get_filing_document

  Get a SEC filing as readable markdown. Returns sectioned markdown with ## SECTION: headers. Supports section filtering and pagination via char range or max_chars cap. Pass accession plus cik/form_type/primary_document from get_event_filings to read an exact event filing without falling back to the latest filing for a fiscal quarter. Period-keyed reads are cache backed; exact-accession reads are fe

• get_filing_evidence

  Plan and retrieve filing evidence in one call for a qualitative SEC filing question. The source planner is internal; inspect its output by setting include_planner_trace=true, or by reading the X-Edgar-Planner-Trace response header when using the HTTP route directly. For metric-anchored joins from a concept value to supporting prose, use cite_concept instead once that Phase 6 tool is shipped. Suppo

• get_filing_extractions

  Return cached langextract spans for one filing, or fetch the filing and run extraction on cache miss. Use this for ticker/year/quarter-keyed filings. Related tools: get_filing_document reads markdown, get_filing_evidence plans qualitative evidence, and get_filing_cover_facts returns DEI facts.

• get_filing_sections

  Parse qualitative sections from one filing resolved by ticker/year/quarter. Required call shape: `get_filing_sections(ticker="MSCI", year=2025, quarter=4, sections=["item_1", "item_7"])`.

• get_filing_tables

  Fetch structured filing tables. Listing modes return metadata only; supplying table_id returns a single table with full row data. Pass accession to require the returned table cache to match a specific resolved filing identity. Omit source or use source='auto' for ordinary 10-K/10-Q tables. Use source='proxy' for DEF 14A proxy tables; use source='20f' or source='6k' with accession to target a speci

• get_filings

  Fetch SEC filing metadata for one fiscal period. Required call shape: `get_filings(ticker="MSCI", year=2025, quarter=4)`.

• get_financials

  Extract all financial facts from one fiscal filing. Required call shape: `get_financials(ticker="MSCI", year=2024, quarter=4, full_year_mode=True)`.

• get_issuer_submissions_meta

  Fetch an issuer's SEC submissions header by CIK.

• get_metric

  Get a specific financial metric by common name or XBRL tag and return current/prior values with YoY comparison. For guessed or user-facing names, call search_metrics or list_metrics first and pass an exact discovered metric_name into this tool; do not retry near-miss names blindly. Optional role filters accept friendly statement roles such as ["cash_flow"] or ["balance_sheet"]. If the response say

• get_metric_series

  Fetch one metric across multiple periods in a single call, using cache-first execution and per-period status reporting. Optional role filters are applied per period before the best match is selected. Pass `axis_key` exactly as returned by search_metrics/list_metrics when the user needs a dimensional fact such as product revenue. For FCF, FCF margin, cash conversion, or trend questions, inspect per

• get_operational_kpi_driver_rows

  Return the strict producer-owned operational-KPI driver row DTO from `/api/operational-kpis/drivers`. Use these versioned, calculation-ready rows for programmatic consumers and cross-transport interoperability.

• get_operational_kpi_drivers

  Return structured operational KPI values and driver growth rates from a filing's MD&A/earnings discussion. Use this for non-XBRL operating metrics such as Gross Bookings, MAPCs, Trips, customer counts, revenue driver bridges, take-rate inputs, segment growth rates, constant-currency growth, and volume-vs-price decomposition. It discovers candidate labels from the filing document and returns citati

• get_statement

  Return a bulk structured statement (income statement, balance sheet, or cash flow statement) from a deterministic v1 statement template and the v1 concept registry. Supports single-period mode with year+quarter and range mode with period_from+period_to; the two modes are mutually exclusive. v1 templates contain tag-kind concepts only, so computed or derivation rows such as margins and ratios belon

• list_extraction_schemas

  List the document extraction schemas available through the EDGAR API.

• list_metrics

  List available metric tags for a filing period so an agent can choose an exact metric_name before calling get_metric. Cash-flow candidates may carry `scope_warning` and `scope_bridge_ids`; validate those before using CFO in margin or trend formulas. Debt candidates may carry `debt_component_kind` values such as `instrument_principal`, `coupon_rate`, `finance_lease`, `other_notes`, or `total_debt_r

• search_extractions

  Search cached langextract spans across filings using structured filters. Periods must use YYYY-Qn or YYYY-FY, not ISO dates. Read-only; cache misses are reported and never trigger LLM extraction.

• search_filing_tables

  Cross-filing search over an Edgar table index for a ticker. Matches on table description, table_type, and section. Returns metadata only; use get_filing_tables with the table_id to fetch full table contents. Use search_filing_text for same-filing prose search.

• search_filing_text

  Search cached markdown within one SEC filing keyed by ticker, year, quarter, and source. Read-only: cold caches return cache_status='cold' and are not warmed. CC5 prefix exception: although search_* usually denotes cross-filing search, search_filing_text is intentionally same-filing only and requires the per-filing ticker/year/quarter inputs. Use search_filing_tables for cross-filing table metadat

• search_metrics

  Search available filing metrics by natural-language query and return ranked candidates. Optional role filters accept friendly statement roles such as ["cash_flow"], ["balance_sheet"], or ["income_statement"]. Cash-flow matches may carry mixed-scope warnings and bridge IDs; inspect the returned top-level `scope_bridges` before using CFO in FCF-style formulas. Debt refinance/tranche queries surface

• warm_metric_cache

  Enqueue async cache warming for metric periods. Paid/internal API tiers only. Each item requires ticker, year, quarter, and optional full_year_mode. Returns a job_id for warm_metric_cache_status polling.

• warm_metric_cache_status

  Poll an async metric cache warming job by job_id.
