From five tools to twenty-four: the Conduit launch story
Conduit — the connector marketplace Pipavia is building — went live today with its first connector, Filings & Fundamentals. It started the morning as five tools and ended the day as twenty-four. This is how, and why every number on this site traces back to real SEC EDGAR data.
A "hello connector" first
We deliberately started small. The first milestone was a five-tool connector that could look up a company, pull its facts, list its filings, compute ratios, and search filing text — all against the live SEC EDGAR API. Five tools is enough to prove the whole loop: key-gated MCP endpoint, hosted on Cloudflare Workers, real data in, structured data out.
It worked on the first live check: an Apple lookup against production EDGAR returned real company facts within the hour of deployment.
Then the full toolset
With the loop proven, we expanded to the full analyst surface in one pass: company profiles, ticker search, XBRL concept series, quarterly trends, annual growth, normalized financial statements, segment data parsed from 10-K XBRL instances, debt breakdowns, shares outstanding, dividend payments, peer comparison across all SEC filers, company-to-company comparison, filing documents and full text, 10-Q facts, insider filings, filing counts, amendment tracking, and 8-K summaries. Twenty-four tools, zero runtime dependencies.
Before release, every tool was simulated against live EDGAR data for Apple and Microsoft — fifty checks, all green — and the exercise caught two real bugs: a host allowlist that wasn't enforced on every fetch path, and a byte-cap that could overshoot by one chunk. Both were fixed before anything shipped. That's the standard we're holding ourselves to: simulate against reality, correct, then execute.
No demo data, anywhere
A note on something we take seriously: every figure on this site and in the connector comes from real filings. Apple's $416.16B revenue figure is a real 10-K number. The peer rank of 3 out of 2,701 filers is a real computation across the SEC's company-frame data. If a number can't be traced to EDGAR, it doesn't ship.
What's next
Filings & Fundamentals is connector number one. The marketplace mechanics — self-service keys, the owner dashboard with budgets and a kill switch, and the milestone the project is aimed at, an agent buying a connector on its own — are on the roadmap. And we're deciding what connector number two should be: tell us which data source your agents need next.
