Provenance-first web + SEC EDGAR data for AI agents: every fact carries its verifiable source.
veris is a well-structured MCP server for web reading and SEC EDGAR access with thoughtful provenance tracking. Authentication is appropriately scoped (optional API keys for enhanced features, falls back to keyless alternatives). Code quality is solid with proper input validation, no hardcoded secrets, and safe error handling. Permissions align with purpose: network access for web/SEC APIs, file I/O for caching, and environment variable reading for optional credentials. Minor code quality observations and a lack of explicit logging/monitoring are the only low-severity findings. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Security scores are indicators to help you make informed decisions, not guarantees. Always review permissions before connecting any MCP server.
This plugin requests these system permissions. Most are normal for its category.
Set these up before or after installing:
Environment variable: BRAVE_API_KEY

Add this to your MCP configuration file:

Provenance-first web access for AI agents. Clean content plus verifiable source metadata, in one call.
Today an AI agent reading the web gets a wall of text. It does not get: when the page was published, whether the content changed since last time, who wrote it, the canonical source, or the license terms. veris attaches all of that to every read.
web_read("https://example.com/article")
→ clean markdown
+ { publishedAt, modifiedAt, author, canonicalUrl, contentHash, license, fetchedAt }
That metadata is not a nice-to-have. It is the foundation the rest of the AI-web economy needs: freshness, change-detection, citation, and — eventually — paying the people who wrote the content.
The web is being scraped by AI with no attribution and no payment. Publishers are responding by blocking bots and locking content. AI gets worse; publishers lose. The fix is a layer between agents and publishers that reads cleanly, tracks provenance, and (later) settles payment.
veris is the agent-side of that layer — the SDK every agent imports to consume the web responsibly. Think "Plaid for the AI web": you don't own the publishers, you own the integration developers reach for.
| Stage | What | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Clean + provenance | search / read / research with verifiable source metadata | ✅ |
| 2. Finance vertical | SEC EDGAR filings with authoritative, official provenance | ✅ |
| 3. Settlement | license-aware access + micropayment + attribution | 🔜 seams in policy.ts + cache.ts |
The Stage 3 seams already exist in the code (policy.ts, cache.ts) so growth is additive, not a rewrite.
Web
| Tool | Does |
|---|---|
web_search(query, n?) | Ranked results as structured JSON. Brave (with key) or keyless DuckDuckGo. |
web_read(url, fresh?) | URL → clean markdown + provenance block. 24h cache. |
web_research(query, n?) | Search + read top N + bundle with per-source citations. |
Finance — SEC EDGAR (free, official, no API key)
| Tool | Does |
|---|---|
finance_filings(query, formType?, limit?) | Ticker / name / CIK → recent SEC filings: form, official filing & report dates, accession, direct document URL. |
finance_filing_read(url or query, formType?) | Read a filing by URL, or auto-read the latest matching form for a company. Clean text + provenance. |
Why EDGAR first? Filings carry authoritative dates and identifiers straight from the SEC — provenance isn't guessed, it's official. Free, structured, no auth. One call gets an agent the latest 10-K with a verifiable source:
finance_filing_read({ query: "NVDA", formType: "10-K" }) → NVIDIA CORP — 10-K (filed 2026-02-25) clean text + { source, filed date, contentHash, wordCount }
npx -y veris-mcp # zero-install, always latest
Or from source:
git clone https://github.com/jakeyoung1/veris && cd veris
npm install && npm run build
Optional env:
export BRAVE_API_KEY=your_key # better search; https://search.brave.com/app/keys
export SEC_USER_AGENT="Your Name you@email.com" # SEC fair-access policy (recommended)
Without a Brave key, search falls back to keyless DuckDuckGo automatically. SEC requires a
Name email@domain style User-Agent — veris ships a default, but set your own contact.
Add to your MCP config (.mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"veris": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "veris-mcp"],
"env": { "BRAVE_API_KEY": "optional", "SEC_USER_AGENT": "Your Name you@email.com" }
}
}
}
Restart Claude Code, then ask it to web_research something.
