Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended July 31, 2024, Class A shares of the MFS Emerging Markets Equity Research Fund (fund) provided a total return of 3.44%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 6.27% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net div). As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. The US sought to restrict the flow of advanced technologies to China and China looked to use its industrial overcapacity to increase exports to developed markets to bolster its slow-growing domestic economy. Global equity markets reached record levels toward the end of the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. However, markets fell back a bit amid concerns over excessive valuations and slowing economic growth. Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index: Stock selection within the information technology sector was a primary contributor to relative performance. The combination of security selection and an underweight position in the materials sector also strengthened relative results. Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index: Stock selection within the financials sector was a primary detractor from relative performance. Security selection and an overweight position in the consumer staples sector further weakened relative returns. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended July 31, 2024, Class R3 shares of the MFS Emerging Markets Equity Research Fund (fund) provided a total return of 3.57%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 6.27% for the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net div). As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. The US sought to restrict the flow of advanced technologies to China and China looked to use its industrial overcapacity to increase exports to developed markets to bolster its slow-growing domestic economy. Global equity markets reached record levels toward the end of the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. However, markets fell back a bit amid concerns over excessive valuations and slowing economic growth. Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index: Stock selection within the information technology sector was a primary contributor to relative performance. The combination of security selection and an underweight position in the materials sector also strengthened relative results. Top detractors from performance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index: Stock selection within the financials sector was a primary detractor from relative performance. Security selection and an overweight position in the consumer staples sector further weakened relative returns. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended July 31, 2024, Class A shares of the MFS Intrinsic Value Fund (fund) provided a total return of 16.20%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 22.15% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense.

Top contributors to performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: An underweight position in the consumer discretionary sector was a primary contributor to relative performance. Security selection within the consumer staples sector also helped relative results. Top detractors from performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: Stock selection within both the information technology and financials sectors detracted from relative performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended July 31, 2024, Class C shares of the MFS Intrinsic Value Fund (fund) provided a total return of 15.38%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 22.15% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. The US sought to restrict the flow of advanced technologies to China and China looked to use its industrial overcapacity to increase exports to developed markets to bolster its slow-growing domestic economy. Global equity markets reached record levels toward the end of the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. However, markets fell back a bit amid concerns over excessive valuations and slowing economic growth. Top contributors to performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: An underweight position in the consumer discretionary sector was a primary contributor to relative performance. Security selection within the consumer staples sector also helped relative results. Top detractors from performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: Stock selection within both the information technology and financials sectors detracted from relative performance. A combination of the fund's underweight position and stock selection within the communication services sector further weakened relative returns. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended July 31, 2024, Class R4 shares of the MFS Intrinsic Value Fund (fund) provided a total return of 16.45%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 22.15% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. The US sought to restrict the flow of advanced technologies to China and China looked to use its industrial overcapacity to increase exports to developed markets to bolster its slow-growing domestic economy. Global equity markets reached record levels toward the end of the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. However, markets fell back a bit amid concerns over excessive valuations and slowing economic growth. Top contributors to performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: An underweight position in the consumer discretionary sector was a primary contributor to relative performance. Security selection within the consumer staples sector also helped relative results. Top detractors from performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: Stock selection within both the information technology and financials sectors detracted from relative performance. A combination of the fund's underweight position and stock selection within the communication services sector further weakened relative returns. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended July 31, 2024, Class I shares of the MFS Equity Income Fund (fund) provided a total return of 18.50%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 22.15% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. The US sought to restrict the flow of advanced technologies to China and China looked to use its industrial overcapacity to increase exports to developed markets to bolster its slow-growing domestic economy. Global equity markets reached record levels toward the end of the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. However, markets fell back a bit amid concerns over excessive valuations and slowing economic growth. Top contributors to performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: Stock selection within the financials sector was a primary contributor to relative performance. An underweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and favorable stock selection within the energy, utilities, and health care sectors also strengthened relative results. Top detractors from performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: The combination of an underweight position and weak stock selection within the information technology sector detracted from relative performance. Security selection within the industrials, communication services, and materials sectors also held back relative returns. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended July 31, 2024, Class R6 shares of the MFS Equity Income Fund (fund) provided a total return of 18.63%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 22.15% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. The US sought to restrict the flow of advanced technologies to China and China looked to use its industrial overcapacity to increase exports to developed markets to bolster its slow-growing domestic economy. Global equity markets reached record levels toward the end of the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. However, markets fell back a bit amid concerns over excessive valuations and slowing economic growth. Top contributors to performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: Stock selection within the financials sector was a primary contributor to relative performance. An underweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and favorable stock selection within the energy, utilities, and health care sectors also strengthened relative results. Top detractors from performance relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index: The combination of an underweight position and weak stock selection within the information technology sector detracted from relative performance. Security selection within the industrials, communication services, and materials sectors also held back relative returns. | |
