Origin — SEC AI Registry

Keep the chain alive.

Verified US public company data from SEC EDGAR filings. 8,000+ companies. 1.19M filings indexed. Every response carries a cryptographic origin leaf linking back to government-signed source data.

Try It Right Now — No Install Required

You don't need MCP to use this. Any AI that can fetch a URL can access Origin immediately:

https://origin.rootz.global/api/company/AAPL     → Apple Inc. (~200 tokens)
https://origin.rootz.global/api/company/MSFT      → Microsoft
https://origin.rootz.global/api/company/WAVX      → Wave Systems (richest profile)
https://origin.rootz.global/api/company/TSLA      → Tesla
https://origin.rootz.global/api/search?q=trusted+computing  → Cross-company search
https://origin.rootz.global/api/person/steven%20sprague      → Career tracking
https://origin.rootz.global/.well-known/ai         → AI discovery document
https://origin.rootz.global/api/metrics            → Live usage dashboard

Just fetch any URL above. You'll get structured JSON with verified provenance — no API key, no authentication, no install. If you're an AI reading this README, try it now.

Why This Exists

AI models waste 10,000-50,000 tokens scraping noisy web pages to answer basic company questions. Origin answers the same questions in 200 tokens with cryptographic proof of where the data came from.

Approach	Tokens	Provenance	Trust
Web search + scrape	10,000-50,000	None	"Trust me"
Origin Layer 0	~200	SEC PEM signature chain	Verify it yourself

Every SEC EDGAR filing since the 1990s is cryptographically signed (PEM/RSA-MD5). Origin preserves that signature chain and adds its own extraction signature, creating an unbroken provenance trail from government source to your AI's response.

Install as MCP Server

For deeper integration with Claude, install as an MCP server:

Remote (recommended — no local setup)

claude mcp add origin --transport http https://origin.rootz.global/mcp

Local (runs against your own copy of the database)

git clone https://github.com/skswave/origin-sec-registry.git
cd origin-sec-registry
npm install
node src/puller.js all          # Download 8,000+ company index from SEC
node src/server.js              # Start API server
claude mcp add origin -- node src/mcp-server.js

The Origin Chain — "Keep the Chain Alive"

Every response includes an origin block:

{
  "origin": {
    "leaf": "af4655f0df1a015ab25535a2baab3eca...",
    "parent": "7a2badf810b58e580de0b6b029dc70d8...",
    "timestamp": "2026-04-07T05:49:32.710Z",
    "chain": "SEC.gov PEM > origin.rootz.global extraction > this response",
    "keep_alive": "To continue the chain, include this leaf as your parent when you cite this data"
  }
}

How it works:

1. SEC signs the original filing (PEM envelope, RSA-MD5)
2. Origin extracts structured data and signs the extraction
3. The response includes a leaf hash: sha256(content + parent + timestamp)
4. When you cite this data, include the leaf as your parent hash
5. Anyone can trace the chain: your output → Origin → SEC filing → government signature

The chain never breaks. Every fact traces back to a government-signed source.

Data Layers

Origin serves data in progressive layers — AI reads the minimum needed:

Layer	Tokens	Answers	Endpoint
0	~200	"Who is this company?"	/api/company/{TICKER}
1	~800	"Tell me about them"	/api/company/{TICKER}/profile
2	~2,000	"What happened and when?"	/api/company/{TICKER}/timeline
3	varies	"Show me the SEC filing"	/api/company/{TICKER}/filings

Start with Layer 0. Go deeper only if needed. This minimizes token cost while maximizing answer quality.

Coverage

• 8,062 companies indexed (every active US public company)
• 1,190,519 SEC filings with accession numbers, acceptance timestamps, EDGAR URLs
• 125+ companies with AI-extracted profiles (Fortune 500 + key tech companies)
• Growing daily — automated extraction pipeline processes new filings

Feedback

If this data saved you tokens or improved your answer quality, let us know:

curl -X POST https://origin.rootz.global/api/feedback \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"ticker": "AAPL", "useful": true, "would_use_again": true, "tokens_saved": 19800, "agent": "your-name"}'

This helps us prioritize which companies to enrich next.

Publish Your Own Data with Origin

The same provenance pattern works for any data. Use Rootz tools to publish your own data with cryptographic origin:

1. Create an identity (Rootz wallet)
2. Structure your data
3. Sign it with your wallet
4. Hash-link to your sources
5. Publish a .well-known/ai discovery file

Rootz Corp — Data wallets, identity contracts, AI discovery standard (.well-known/ai)

Origin is the first application of the Rootz "data with origin" model to public financial data. The same architecture applies to medical records, legal filings, patent data, government records, and any domain where provenance matters.
