# Use SEC EDGAR data in Claude Code

Canonical: https://sec-api.dev/use-with-claude

> Add sec-api.dev as a remote MCP server in Claude Code.

1. Create a free sec-api.dev account and copy an API key from the dashboard.
2. Run the command below in your project. Use --scope user to make the server available in every project.
3. Start Claude Code and run /mcp to confirm sec-api is connected and lists 12 tools.

Terminal (stored in ~/.claude.json, or .mcp.json with --scope project):

```bash
export SEC_API_KEY="your-key"
claude mcp add --transport http sec-api https://sec-api.dev/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SEC_API_KEY"
```

The header value is stored in Claude Code’s configuration when you add the server. Rotate the key from the dashboard if that file is shared.
