SEC EDGAR for AI agents

SEC EDGAR is the public database of company filings, financial facts, and filing documents that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission maintains for disclosure. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

Q01

Can I use SEC EDGAR with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
