Overview

AI-generated overview

A local Python MCP server that lets an assistant load, edit and save RFC plain-text documents.

What you can do
Load a local RFC TXT file, download an RFC by ID, or create a blank RFC document to start a session. Read the current document and list its sections from the session. Set the title, abstract, copyright notice and authors. Add, update or delete sections. Save the document back to TXT or convert it to a dictionary.
When to use it
Use it when an assistant should help draft, revise or restructure an RFC plain-text document, especially when you want section-by-section edits to title, abstract, authors and body.
Requirements
Python 3.11 or newer with the mcp-rfc-editor package installed via pip; runs over stdio. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared. Network access is needed to download RFCs.
Before you install
It can add, change and delete sections and overwrite the saved RFC file, so confirm the target file before saving. Downloading fetches content from an external RFC site. Session state is held in the server process and may be lost on restart.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Mcp Rfc Editor in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

README

mcp-rfc-editor

mcp-name: io.github.daedalus/mcp-rfc-editor

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for editing RFC TXT documents using the rfc-editor Python library.

Installation

bash
pip install mcp-rfc-editor

Usage

CLI

bash
python -m mcp_rfc_editor

Programmatic

python
from mcp_rfc_editor import mainmain()

MCP Tools

The server exposes the following tools:

  • load_rfc - Load and parse an RFC TXT file (creates session)
  • download_rfc - Download an RFC from rfc-editor by ID (creates session)
  • create_rfc - Create a new empty RFC document (creates session)
  • get_document - Get the current document from session context
  • save_rfc - Save an RFC document to TXT format
  • set_title - Set the document title
  • set_abstract - Set the document abstract
  • add_section - Add a new section
  • update_section - Update an existing section
  • delete_section - Delete a section
  • list_sections - List all sections in the document
  • set_copyright - Set copyright notice
  • set_authors - Set document authors
  • to_dict - Convert document to dictionary

Session-Based Workflow

The server maintains session context so you don't need to pass the full document object on every call:

python
# 1. Download an RFC - returns Session IDresult = download_rfc(rfc_id="791")# Returns: {document..., "Session ID": "abc-123"}
# 2. Use session ID to get title (no document needed)get_title(session_id="abc-123")
# 3. Modify and changes are persistedset_title(session_id="abc-123", title="New Title")

Alternatively, you can always pass the full document object directly (legacy mode).

40% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
