Clous MCP

Public data intelligence for AI agents — over the Model Context Protocol.

Point Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client at Clous and search SEC/EDGAR filings, pull XBRL financials, insider trades, 13F holdings, Form D raises, and material events — all through one consistent, cited JSON envelope.

clous.ai · docs.clous.ai · hosted MCP · 49 tools

A thin, open-source MCP client. It forwards tool calls to https://api.clous.ai using your API key (the CLOUS_API_KEY env var). No key or secret is bundled. All data derives from public SEC EDGAR filings; Clous is independent of the SEC. SEC/EDGAR is live today; Clous is expanding across public data.

30-second quickstart

Get a free key at clous.ai (100 credits, no card — looks like clous_live_...), then add Clous to your MCP client:

Claude Desktop — claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) · Cursor — .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clous": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@clousai/mcp"],
      "env": { "CLOUS_API_KEY": "clous_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client and ask: "What material 8-Ks did NVIDIA file this week?" — Clous answers with each accession and EDGAR URL cited.

Or use the hosted server (zero install)

Clous runs a hosted MCP endpoint at https://mcp.clous.ai — no local Node, no npx. See docs.clous.ai for the remote config.

Key features

• 49 tools spanning filings, full-text, financials, ownership, governance, enforcement, events, and monitors.
• Entity-resolved — every record ties to a canonical company (CIK / ticker / name).
• One JSON envelope — { data[], page, as_of, source, query_echo, warnings } with cursor pagination.
• Token-efficient — fields= / output_schema= projection trims payloads before they hit your context window.
• Cited by construction — every result carries its source filing and EDGAR URL.
• Bring your own key — open-source, no secrets bundled; works locally via npx or hosted.

git clone https://github.com/ClousAI/Mcp.git clous-mcp
cd clous-mcp
npm install
npm run build
CLOUS_API_KEY=clous_live_... node dist/index.js   # speaks MCP over stdio
