SEC Filings Skill

Overview

SEC Filings works by projecting the SEC EDGAR submissions feed for US public companies into a clean, decision-ready filing history. On top of the raw filing list it derives activity analytics - counts by form type, filing cadence, and days since the last annual, quarterly and current report - so you can see a company's disclosure activity at a glance rather than paging through EDGAR. Data is refreshed continuously from official SEC filings.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as SECFilingsSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

Tool call

{
  "name": "SECFilingsSkill",
  "arguments": {
    "ticker": "AAPL"
  }
}

You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about AAPL in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for SECFilingsSkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Argument	Type	Description
`ticker`Required	string	Stock ticker symbol (e.g. AAPL, MSFT, ADBE) length 1–6
`form`OptionalPremium	string	Filter to a single form type (e.g. 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4).
`limit`OptionalPremium	integer	Number of filings to return (1-50). Defaults to 5. range 1–50

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

Status	What it means
`400` / `422`	The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one.
`401`	The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
`403`	Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity.
`404`	This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog.
`429`	Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart.

A call costs 6 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.

Use cases

Material Event Monitoring: When an alert service tracks market disclosures, it reviews recent 8-K filings and item codes to notify portfolio managers about unexpected corporate events.
Earnings Release Verification: To confirm quarterly numbers against official sources, financial blogs pull direct document links and filing dates for newly submitted quarterly reports.
Merger Target Investigation: Inspect recent registration statements and annual report document links to verify regulatory disclosures before an advisory firm completes corporate buyout assessments.
Financial Model Ingestion: Algorithmic research tools parse incoming XBRL filing records and accession numbers to pipe raw financial tables directly into quantitative valuation spreadsheets.
