## Why This Exists

Existing SEC EDGAR MCP servers only cover filings. Existing FRED servers require API keys. No MCP server combines SEC EDGAR + US Treasury rates + BLS labor stats into one unified interface with zero configuration.

**PublicFinance MCP** gives AI agents access to the entire US public financial data landscape — company filings, yield curves, unemployment data, CPI, and more — all from free government APIs.

## Tools (6)

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `company_filings` | Search SEC EDGAR for company filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, etc.) by ticker or CIK |
| `company_facts` | Get XBRL financial data — Revenue, NetIncome, Assets, and 1000+ standardized concepts |
| `treasury_rates` | US Treasury yield curve, bill rates, long-term rates, real yields |
| `labor_statistics` | BLS data: unemployment rate, CPI, nonfarm payrolls, participation rate, PPI, and custom series |
| `ticker_lookup` | Resolve ticker symbols ↔ company names ↔ CIK numbers |
| `economic_overview` | One-call snapshot of key US economic indicators (yield curve + unemployment + CPI + payrolls) |
