Provides integration with Git for cloning the repository during installation from source.
Enables accessing the source repository at github.com/tizee/mcp-server-ietf for installation and contributions.
Supports development workflows through a Makefile with commands for running the inspector and tests.
Integrates with pytest for running the test suite to validate server functionality.
Built on Python 3.11+, utilizing its capabilities for implementing the MCP server functionality.
Uses TOML format for dependency management through the pyproject.toml file.
MCP-Server-IETF
A Model Context Protocol server for fetching IETF documents (RFCs) for Large Language Models.
Overview
This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to IETF RFC documents. It enables Large Language Models to access RFC specifications through a standardized interface.
Key features:
Download and cache RFC index and documents
Search RFCs by keyword in titles
Access RFC documents with pagination support
Extract metadata like page numbers from documents
Installation
Requirements
Python 3.11 or higher
Dependencies as listed in
pyproject.toml
Install from source
Usage
Starting the server
Or use it with the MCP inspector:
Available Tools
When connected to the server, the following tools are available:
list_docs_number
Get the total number of RFC documents available in the index.
get_doc
Get an RFC document by its number with pagination support.
Parameters:
number
: The RFC number (e.g., "1234")start_line
: The line number to start from (default: 1)max_lines
: Maximum number of lines to return (default: 200)
search_rfc_by_keyword
Search for RFC documents by keyword in their titles.
Parameters:
keyword
: The search term to look for in RFC titles
