{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mjpitz-mcp-rfc": {

      ]
    }
  }
}

You can fetch, parse, and read RFC documents through an MCP server that exposes tools to retrieve RFC content by number, search by keywords, and extract specific sections. This server makes RFC data programmatically accessible for integration with clients and automation tasks.

How to use

Use an MCP client to interact with the RFC server. You can fetch a full RFC document by number, search RFCs by keywords, or retrieve a specific section from an RFC. The server handles HTML and TXT RFC formats and caches results for faster subsequent requests.

Typical usage patterns include:

Retrieve a full RFC document by its number to read or analyze its content.
Search RFCs by a keyword or phrase to discover relevant documents.
Get a particular section from an RFC to inspect introductions, definitions, or sections of interest.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing:

Node.js installed on your machine (recommended LTS version).
Access to a terminal or command prompt.

Install and run the MCP server using the following command sequence:

Create or edit your MCP settings file to include the RFC MCP server configuration.
Start the MCP server so you can begin querying RFC data.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp_rfc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@mjpitz/mcp-rfc"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Notes on usage and capabilities

The RFC MCP server supports fetching RFC documents by number, keyword-based searches, and extracting specific sections. It parses both HTML and TXT RFC formats, preferring HTML when available for better structure, and caches results to improve performance.

All interactions are exposed through MCP tools so you can integrate RFC data into your applications or workflows without manual browsing. Use the provided MCP URL or local runtime commands to connect your client to the server.

Available tools

get_rfc

Fetch an RFC document by its number with optional output formats such as full, metadata, or sections.

search_rfcs

Search RFCs by keyword and limit the number of results returned.

get_rfc_section

Retrieve a specific section from an RFC by its number and section identifier.
