SEC EDGAR Filing Fee Disclosure MCP Server

MCP server for SEC EDGAR Exhibit 107 filing fee disclosure analysis.

Parses ffd: XBRL from registration statements (S-1, S-3, 424B, F-1, etc.) and returns structured fee data through the Model Context Protocol. No API keys required — SEC EDGAR is a free, public API.

Tools

Tool	Description
get_fee_exhibit	Fetch and parse a specific Exhibit 107 by accession number + CIK. Returns every security class, fee amounts, fee rate, and net fee due.
search_fee_filings	Find a company's recent registration filings that contain Exhibit 107 fee disclosures. Resolves tickers, names, or CIKs automatically.
get_company_fee_history	Fetch and parse all Exhibit 107 fee exhibits for a company in one call. Returns per-filing fee tables plus grand totals.
compare_fee_rates	Compare filing fee data across 2-8 companies side by side — latest form, total offering, net fee due, and fee rate.
search_filings_by_fee	Full-text search across all EDGAR filings since 1993, scoped to registration statements. Supports phrases, boolean operators, and wildcards.
get_ffd_concepts_by_company	Get a company's complete ffd: filing fee history by merging the EDGAR companyfacts API (fast, no lag — covers 424B/S-3/S-8) with Exhibit 107 document parsing (covers S-1/F-1 filings that companyfacts doesn't index).
export_fee_data	Query fee data and save as CSV. Three modes: fee_history (one row per filing), line_items (one row per security class), ffd_concepts (one row per XBRL fact).

get_fee_exhibit

Parse a specific Exhibit 107 (EX-FILING FEES) from an SEC filing.

• Requires accession_number and cik
• Optionally provide the exhibit_filename for faster parsing, or let the server auto-detect it from the filing index
• Returns all ffd: XBRL concepts: every security class, max aggregate offering, fee amounts, fee rate, and net fee due
• Includes retry logic for filings within the 24-48h EDGAR indexing lag window

search_fee_filings

Find a company's recent registration statement filings.

• Accepts ticker symbols (RDDT), company names (Reddit), or CIK numbers
• Defaults to all registration forms: S-1, S-3, S-4, F-1, F-3, F-4, F-6, 424B series, SC TO, PREM14A, DEFM14A, POS AM, S-8
• Returns accession numbers, form types, filing dates, and EDGAR URLs
• Surfaces a recency warning when results fall within the EDGAR indexing lag window

get_company_fee_history

Batch-parse all fee exhibits for a company across multiple filings.

• Parses up to 10 filings in a single call (configurable via limit)
• Returns the full structured fee table for each filing plus grand totals
• Filterable by form type and start date

compare_fee_rates

Side-by-side comparison of fee data for 2-8 companies.

• Shows the latest registration form, total offering, net fee due, and fee rate for each company
• Useful for benchmarking offering sizes across a peer set

search_filings_by_fee

Full-text search across all EDGAR filing documents, scoped to registration statements.

• Find companies that registered a specific security type, used a specific fee rule (e.g. Rule 457(o)), or mentioned specific terms
• Supports exact phrases, boolean operators (AND/OR/NOT), and wildcards

get_ffd_concepts_by_company

Complete fee history from two complementary data sources:

• Phase 1 — companyfacts API (fast, no indexing lag): Returns ffd: XBRL facts for 424B prospectus supplements, S-3/A, and S-8 employee plans
• Phase 2 — Exhibit 107 parsing (backfills the gap): Scans submissions for S-1/F-1 filings that the companyfacts API doesn't index, then fetches and parses each Exhibit 107
• Every entry is tagged with source: "companyfacts" or source: "exhibit107"
• Optionally filter by specific ffd concepts (FeeAmt, NetFeeAmt, etc.) or form types

export_fee_data

Query SEC fee data and save the results as a CSV file.

• fee_history mode — one row per filing with summary totals: accession number, form type, filing date, total offering, total fee, net fee due, fee rate, security class count
• line_items mode — one row per security class across all filings: security type, class title, fee calculation rule, amount registered, price per unit, max aggregate offering, fee rate, fee amount
• ffd_concepts mode — one row per ffd: XBRL fact entry from the hybrid companyfacts + Exhibit 107 source: concept tag, label, value, unit, form, filing date, accession, source tag
• Writes to output_path if provided, otherwise defaults to ./<TICKER>_<mode>.csv
• Filterable by form type and max filing count

Example prompts:

"Export Tesla's filing fee history as a CSV"

"Save Goldman Sachs' complete ffd data to C:\Users\me\Desktop\GS_fees.csv"

Set EDGAR_USER_AGENT in your environment.

Any MCP client (Streamable HTTP)

Point any client that supports Streamable HTTP at http://your-server:3010/mcp.

Docker

Build and run

docker build -t filing-fee-mcp .

docker run -d -p 3010:3010 -e EDGAR_USER_AGENT="YourApp you@email.com" filing-fee-mcp

The container defaults to HTTP transport on port 3010. Override the port with -e MCP_HTTP_PORT=8080 -p 8080:8080.

CSV export from Docker

The export_fee_data tool writes CSV files inside the container. Mount a volume to make them accessible on the host:

docker run -d -p 3010:3010 -e EDGAR_USER_AGENT="YourApp you@email.com" -v $(pwd)/exports:/app/exports filing-fee-mcp

Then use output_path: "/app/exports/GS_fees.csv" and the file appears in ./exports/ on the host.

Health check

curl http://localhost:3010/health

How it works

Exhibit 107

Since February 2022, the SEC requires all registration statement filers to include Exhibit 107 (EX-FILING FEES) — a machine-readable inline XBRL document disclosing every security class, offering amount, fee calculation rule, fee rate, and net fee due.

This server parses those exhibits using regex-based extraction of ffd: namespace XBRL facts from the iXBRL HTML. It handles both inline XBRL (<ix:nonNumeric>, <ix:nonFraction>) and standalone XML (<ffd:Tag>) formats, with a fallback HTML table parser for non-XBRL exhibits.

EDGAR indexing lag

EDGAR's submissions API lists new filings immediately, but the per-document index and full-text search can lag 24-48 hours behind acceptance. This server handles the gap with:

• Retry logic: When a document index returns empty for a filing within the 48h window, retries up to 3 times with increasing delays
• Recency warnings: Tools surface an advisory when results touch the lag window
• Companyfacts fast path: The get_ffd_concepts_by_company tool reads from the companyfacts API (no lag) for 424B/S-3/S-8 filings, falling back to document parsing only for S-1/F-1 filings
