# How to use Claude to search SEC filings with looot

Find every 10-K or 10-Q that mentions a phrase, with the company, form and filing date. SEC EDGAR is free.

## Connect looot to Claude

1. In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
2. Click "+ Add", then "Add custom connector".
3. Name it looot and paste the remote MCP server URL https://api.looot.ai/mcp. Click Continue.
4. Review the authentication settings Claude detects and click Continue. Under Authentication pick "Sign in now" or "Sign in when needed". Under OAuth client, Anthropic recommends "Use Claude's published identity". Click Add.
5. looot's sign-in page opens: sign in with your looot account and allow access. Runs are paid from your prepaid looot balance.

Anthropic's help center says custom connectors work on Free, Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise, and a Free account can add one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an Owner or Primary Owner adds it under Organization settings, Connectors, and each member then clicks Connect under Customize, Connectors.

In Claude Code instead: Add looot from your terminal with one command: `claude mcp add --transport http looot https://api.looot.ai/mcp`. Then type /mcp inside Claude Code and follow the browser sign-in.

## Ask Claude

In a new chat, click the "+" button at the lower left, choose Connectors and switch looot on for this conversation. Then paste the prompt.

Use looot to search SEC filings for the phrase "[phrase]" with the job sec.filings.search. Keep forms [10-K, 10-Q] filed from [start date] to [end date]. Tell me how many filings match, which companies mention it most, and list the five most relevant with company, form and filing date.

## Jobs it calls and what they cost

One use costs from free at today's cheapest providers. A provider that misses can fall back to the next one, which can cost more; looot charges only the calls that ran, from your prepaid balance.

- `sec.filings.search`: 1 call, from free (SEC EDGAR, the cheapest of 1 provider). [About the cheapest provider](/providers/edgar)
