## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-sec).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 0 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 413 tokens (~137/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100
  - Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_companies` (~66 tokens)

Search SEC EDGAR for companies by name or ticker symbol. Returns matching company names and their CIK numbers, which are needed for other SEC tools.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Company name or ticker to search for (e.g., "Apple", "TSLA", "Microsoft")

### `get_company_filings` (~138 tokens)

Get recent SEC filings for a company by CIK number, ticker, or company name. Returns filing dates, form types, and accession numbers. Optionally filter by form type (e.g., "10-K", "10-Q", "8-K").

Input parameters:

- `cik` (string, required): Company CIK ("320193"), ticker ("AAPL"), or name ("Apple") — ticker/name are auto-resolved to a CIK
- `form_type` (string): Filter by SEC form type (e.g., "10-K", "10-Q", "8-K", "DEF 14A"). Omit to return all recent filings.

### `get_company_facts` (~159 tokens)

Get XBRL financial facts for a company by CIK number, ticker, or company name. Returns latest_annual — revenue, net income, operating income, total assets, liabilities, equity, cash, EPS and shares for the most recent fiscal year (10-K), resolved to whichever XBRL concept the filer currently reports under — plus per-concept detail with the fiscal year and period end on every figure. Concepts the filer has retired (e.g. a pre-ASC-606 Revenues tag) are kept for history but flagged stale and sorted last.

Input parameters:

- `cik` (string, required): Company CIK ("320193"), ticker ("AAPL"), or name ("Apple") — ticker/name are auto-resolved to a CIK

## Common questions

### What is the Sec MCP server?

Sec is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/sec. SEC MCP, SEC EDGAR public APIs (free, no auth). This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-sec).

### Is the Sec MCP server safe to use?

Sec scores 84 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Sec MCP server expose?

Sec exposes 3 tools: search_companies, get_company_filings, get_company_facts. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 363 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Sec MCP server still maintained?

Sec is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Sec MCP server under?

Sec declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Sec MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Sec, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
