Yes. Reading every company page is free without an account. A free account adds 10 downloads a month and an API key with 250 calls a day. There is no card and no trial that runs out.

What does the free account cover?

The last 5 fiscal years of every company we cover, and every dataset on this page. A data plan opens every year back to the company's first filing, unlimited downloads and the API at 300 calls a minute.

Where does the data come from?

From the filings themselves: the SEC's EDGAR for statements, insider trades, 13F and large holders, FINRA for short interest, and the House for members' trades. Every row read from a filing links to that filing.

Are share prices included?

Prices show on the pages, but downloads and the API carry what companies file and what the SEC, FINRA and the House publish. Prices, and figures worked out from them such as P/E and market value, are left out.

Can I use it at work?

Reading and quoting it for your own research is free, with credit and a link. Using it at work inside one firm, including research for your clients, comes with the Professional plan.

What is Firecrawl Alexandria?

Alexandria is Firecrawl's library of data sources for AI agents, launched with Firecrawl's $75M Series B. SEC EDGAR is one of the sources behind one Firecrawl API key, priced at 5 Firecrawl credits a call.

Does Firecrawl Alexandria give standardized financial statements?

Its SEC EDGAR tool returns XBRL facts as each company reported them. Standardized statements on Alexandria come from a separate provider, Fiscal.ai, whose standardized income statement is listed at 15 credits a call. SN Data serves standard statement lines for every covered company from fiscal 2007, with the as-reported lines beside them.

How much does Firecrawl Alexandria cost for SEC data?

Each SEC call costs 5 credits. The free plan has 1,000 credits a month, about 200 SEC calls. Hobby is $19 a month billed monthly for 5,000 credits, about 1,000 SEC calls, and Standard is $99 a month for 100,000 credits, about 20,000 calls. Credits are shared across every Firecrawl tool. Prices as of 8 November 2026.

Is there a free API for SEC financial statements?

Yes. A free SN Data account gets an API key that answers 250 calls a day, at most 60 a minute, on the last 5 fiscal years of every covered company: standardized and as-reported statements, ratios, segments, 8-K events, insider trades, planned sales, large holders, fund holders, House trades and short interest. A plan opens the full record from $19 a month.

Can I get SEC financial data in Excel or Google Sheets?

With SN Data, yes: any company's statements, ratios and lists download as an Excel workbook, and the Google Sheets add-on puts a figure in a cell with a formula such as =SN("AAPL", "revenue", 2025). Firecrawl's pages did not mention Excel or Google Sheets as of 8 November 2026.

Which has more history?

Alexandria's SEC tool reaches as far back as EDGAR, which for Apple means filings from January 1994. SN Data's financial statements run by year from fiscal 2007 and by quarter from 2008, in the same standard lines for every company, with every figure linked to the filing it came from.

SN Data: Claude Code for stock research

Facts checked on 10 November 2026.

The short answer

Claude Code reads SN Data as an MCP server. One command in your terminal, claude mcp add with the address shikshannivesh.com/mcp and your SN Data key, and Claude Code can answer questions about US companies from their SEC filings: income statements, balance sheets and cash flows, Form 4 insider trades, 13F fund holders, segments and ratios, with each figure linked to the filing it came from.

A free key covers 250 calls a day on the last 5 fiscal years of every covered company.

Setup: One claude mcp add command
Free key: 250 calls a day, the last 5 fiscal years
Server address: shikshannivesh.com/mcp
Every figure: Linked to the filing behind it

SN Data at work in Claude Code

A real answer: Claude Code's own output from 30 October 2026, redrawn at a readable size, with only the links shortened.

Claude Code's answer from SN Data comparing Apple's and NVIDIA's revenue over their last three fiscal years, with the two 10-Ks it came from — Apple and NVIDIA revenue over three fiscal years, with the 10-K behind each. Claude Code called SN Data's financial statements tool for each company.

What Claude Code did

Picked SN Data's financial statements tool for the question
Called it for Apple and for NVIDIA
Took revenue as reported for each company's last three fiscal years
Named the 10-K behind each company's figures, with its filing date and link
Pointed out that the two fiscal years end in different months

Add SN Data to Claude Code

Make a free Shikshan Nivesh account and copy your key from your account page, under Data. It starts with sn_live_. Put it in an environment variable, so the add command carries $SN_KEY in place of the key itself, then add SN Data with one line.

Claude Code replies "Added HTTP MCP server sn-data" and shows the key as [REDACTED]. By default the server is added to the local scope: private to you, and only in the folder you ran the command from. Add --scope user to have SN Data in every folder you open Claude Code in.

In your terminal

export SN_KEY=sn_live_your_key
claude mcp add --transport http sn-data \
  https://shikshannivesh.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SN_KEY"

# or, for every folder
claude mcp add --scope user \
  --transport http sn-data \
  https://shikshannivesh.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SN_KEY"

A terminal running claude mcp add for SN Data, with Claude Code's reply Added HTTP MCP server sn-data, and claude mcp get showing its scope and address — Adding SN Data, then checking it with claude mcp get. Claude Code hides the key.

Check that it connected

claude mcp list checks each server and says whether it connected. claude mcp get sn-data shows the scope, the address and the status. Inside a Claude Code session, /mcp shows the same list.

If the key is wrong or was deleted, the check reads "Failed to connect" with HTTP 401, and SN Data's message says the sign-in has expired or was made with a deleted key. Copy the key again from your account page, remove the server with claude mcp remove sn-data and add it again.

Ask about a company

Start claude in any folder and ask in plain words. The first time Claude Code wants one of SN Data's tools, it asks before using it; say yes and it reads the record. Naming SN Data in the question tells Claude Code where to look.

For a one-off answer printed straight to the terminal, claude -p runs a single question and exits, which is how the answer above was made. A run like that cannot stop to ask, so allow SN Data's tools up front with --allowedTools.

One question, printed and done

claude -p "Compare Apple's revenue over its \
last three fiscal years with NVIDIA's, using \
SN Data, and cite the 10-Ks. Keep it short." \
  --allowedTools "mcp__sn-data__*"

Questions to try

Claude Code works in a folder of files, so an answer can become a file you keep: a table saved as CSV, notes on a company in Markdown, the same comparison rerun next quarter. A few questions to start with:

For a longer walk through one research setup built on Claude Code, with its notes kept in Obsidian, see the post below.

Paste into a Claude Code session

Using SN Data, pull Microsoft's revenue and operating income for the
last 8 quarters and save them to msft-quarters.csv.

From SN Data, list NVIDIA's insider sales in the last 12 months and mark
which were under a 10b5-1 trading plan, with each Form 4 link.

Which funds held the most Costco shares in the latest 13F filings,
according to SN Data? Show the top 10 and what each added or trimmed.

What the free key covers

A free key answers 250 calls a day, at most 60 a minute, on the last 5 fiscal years of every covered company. A question like the Apple and NVIDIA one uses a few calls. When a question reaches for a year outside the plan, SN Data says which years the plan covers and gives no figure for the others.

The Individual plan, $19 a month, opens every year back to fiscal 2007 at up to 300 calls a minute. The same key works in the API, Excel, Google Sheets and other AI assistants, all from one daily limit.

The API, with a free key →

So with one command Claude Code can read any US company's filings, and its answers come back with the 10-K, 10-Q or Form 4 behind each figure.

Common questions

How do I add a stock data MCP server to Claude Code?+

Run claude mcp add --transport http sn-data https://shikshannivesh.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $SN_KEY", with your SN Data key in the SN_KEY environment variable. Claude Code replies that it added the HTTP MCP server, and claude mcp list shows whether it connected.

Where do I get an SN Data key?+

Make a free Shikshan Nivesh account and copy the key from your account page, under Data. It starts with sn_live_. The free key answers 250 calls a day on the last 5 fiscal years.

Why does claude mcp list say Failed to connect?+

With HTTP 401, the key in the header is wrong or was deleted. Copy the key again from your account page, run claude mcp remove sn-data, then add the server again.

How do I use SN Data in every Claude Code project?+

Add it with --scope user. Without a scope, claude mcp add uses the local scope, which covers only the folder you ran it in.

Do I need the Claude app connector as well?+

No. Claude Code reads SN Data with your key, set up in the terminal. The connector in Claude's directory is the same data for Claude on the web and desktop, connected by signing in.
