Veris
Pull web and SEC EDGAR facts with attached provenance so your agent cites verifiable sources during market and competitor research.
Overview
Veris is an MCP server for the Idea phase that supplies provenance-attached web search and SEC EDGAR data so AI agents cite verifiable sources.
What is this MCP server?
- Every returned fact is tied to a verifiable source (provenance-first design)
- SEC EDGAR access with configurable SEC_USER_AGENT for fair access
- Optional Brave Search API; falls back to keyless DuckDuckGo
- stdio npm package veris-mcp v0.1.1 for local agent wiring
- Suited to financial and regulatory questions agents must not hallucinate
- Package version 0.1.1
- stdio transport via veris-mcp npm
- Web search plus SEC EDGAR tool surface
What problem does it solve?
Agent research on competitors and public companies often lacks citations, so you cannot trust numbers in a pitch or scope doc.
Who is it for?
Solo founders diligencing public companies, regulatory filings, or cited web evidence before committing to a SaaS niche.
Skip if: Real-time trading, non-public data rooms, or teams that forbid outbound search from dev machines.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Research turns into source-backed facts your agent can quote when validating markets or drafting investor-facing summaries.
- Source-linked web search results
- EDGAR-backed company and filing facts with provenance
- Agent-ready citations for scope and validation documents
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Research is the canonical shelf because provenance-first retrieval supports opportunity sizing and fact-checking before you build or pitch. Research subphase covers sourced competitive and regulatory reads; EDGAR and web search map to early diligence not deployment.
How it compares
Provenance-first finance research MCP, not a generic web-scrape skill without source metadata.
