Transport
The server is remote and speaks Streamable HTTP. There is nothing to install and
no stdio server to run.
Clients that only support stdio can bridge to it:
npx mcp-remote https://api.sec-api.io/mcp?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEYVerify the server from a terminal without any client:
curl -s https://api.sec-api.io/mcp?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'Limits
Some tools return large payloads. See
