# Use SEC EDGAR data in Gemini CLI

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

> Add sec-api.dev as a remote MCP server in Gemini CLI.

1. Create a free sec-api.dev account and copy an API key.
2. Export SEC_API_KEY before starting Gemini CLI.
3. Add the server below to settings.json and run /mcp to confirm the tools.

~/.gemini/settings.json (user) or .gemini/settings.json (project):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sec-api": {
      "httpUrl": "https://sec-api.dev/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer $SEC_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

httpUrl selects streamable HTTP; url would select SSE, which this server does not use.
