Runtime Notes

This is a thin client for the hosted EDGAR API and the public SEC submissions endpoint; it does not parse filings locally.
Missing or invalid EDGAR_API_KEY lets the server start, but hosted API tool calls return authentication errors; get_issuer_submissions_meta does not require the key.
Large payload tools support output="file" and write to EDGAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR or a local fallback directory.
API rate limits and paid-tool access are enforced by the hosted service.
