Key takeaways

The short version.

  • SEC Stock Signals watches SEC EDGAR for new 8-K and Form 4 filings on the tickers you name and links every filing to the original.
  • Manus describes itself as an autonomous agent that completes tasks in a sandbox, a virtual computer with internet access and a persistent file system, so a signal can be handed off as a background task.
  • Manus accepts custom MCP servers by HTTPS address, and its Automations can run a task on a schedule, such as a weekday morning check.
  • Nothing here is an official listing, partnership or built-in integration with Manus. The MCP connection described below was not tested.
  • A summary is a guide to where to look. Check it against the filing itself. The app reports filings and never gives investment advice.

  • Manus describes itself as an autonomous AI agent that completes tasks rather than only answering questions.

It is for people who follow a handful of public companies and want the filing behind a signal gathered and explained without reading every page first: individual investors, finance students, analysts in training, journalists and employees who hold shares in their company.

SEC Stock Signals watches SEC EDGAR for new 8-K and Form 4 filings for the tickers you name and flags the ones it judges worth a look, with the reason and a link. An 8-K is the form a company files when something material happens. A Form 4 reports a purchase or sale by an insider.

Manus describes itself as an autonomous AI agent that completes tasks rather than only answering questions. One part finds the signal. The other can collect the filings and write the first draft of a plain summary.

Use cases

4 ways people use SEC Stock Signals + Manus.

  1. What changed

    1. Turn a signal into a short summary of what changed

    When an alert names a new 8-K, give it to Manus as a task. Ask it to open the filing, say in plain language what the company reported and list the items that changed, such as a new officer or an amended agreement.

    Tell it to quote the key sentences and to say so when the filing does not answer a question. The summary points you to where to read. It does not replace the filing.

  2. Filings behind it

    2. Gather the filings behind one signal

    A single signal often has context: an earlier 8-K, a recent Form 4 or an amendment. Ask Manus to collect the recent filings for that company and put them in one list, newest first, each with a link to SEC EDGAR.

    Because Manus keeps a persistent file system while it works, a longer task can end with a single file of notes and links that you open when you are ready.

  3. Background task

    3. Run a background check on your whole list

    Name your tickers and ask for a task that checks each company for new filings and reports only the ones that are new. Manus can work through the list while you do something else and leave the result when it is done.

    The app has no account and does not keep your watchlist on its server, so the list travels with each request. Keep it in the task text so it is sent every time.

  4. Scheduled check

    4. Get a weekday check on a schedule

    Manus Automations can run work at a time and timezone you choose. Set one for weekday mornings and describe the result: new filings for your companies, a plain line on each and a link to the original.

    Run a test before you rely on it, and check the first few summaries against the filings on EDGAR.

How to

How do I use SEC Stock Signals with Manus?

  1. Step 1

    Copy the app's remote MCP address from [secstocksignals.com](https://secstocksignals.com): https://secstocksignals.com/mcp. The site says no API key or sign-up form is needed.

  2. Step 2

    In Manus, go to Settings, Integrations, Custom MCP Servers, then Add Server. Enter a Server name and the Server URL (HTTPS). Leave Authentication empty, since the site says no key is needed. Manus tests the connection and lists the tools.

  3. Step 3

    Optional: in Automations, choose Create, then Schedule. Set a time and timezone, describe the check you want, and run a test first.

  4. Step 4

    Fallback that works today: paste or attach the app's alert into a Manus task and ask for a summary with links to the filings on SEC EDGAR.

Manus describes these routes in its custom MCP and Automations pages. The connection was not tested, and menus can change, so follow those pages. Check every summary against the filing itself. SEC Stock Signals is not listed by Manus or built into it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is SEC Stock Signals an official Manus integration?

No. There is no partnership or built-in integration. Manus lets you add a custom MCP server by its address, and you add the app's address yourself. The connection was not tested.

What if the MCP connection does not work?

Use the fallback. Paste or attach the app's alert into a Manus task and ask for a summary with links to the filings on SEC EDGAR.

Does it tell me to buy or sell?

No. The app retrieves public SEC filings and historical statistics and never says buy, sell or hold. A Manus summary is not investment advice either.

Does it send me alerts automatically?

Today you ask. The site says automatic watchlist alerts are still being tested and text alerts are rolling out soon, so ask for what is new or schedule a check in Manus.

Should I trust the summary?

Treat it as a guide. Open the filing on SEC EDGAR and confirm what it says, because a summary can leave out or misread details.
