Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only MCP server that lets an assistant search IETF RFCs and Internet-Drafts, look up documents, and find working groups and recent meetings via the…

What you can do
  • Search RFCs and Internet-Drafts by name or query
  • Look up a specific document by name, such as rfc9110
  • Find IETF working groups by name
  • List recent public IETF meetings
When to use it
Useful when you need protocol research or standards context while working: checking an RFC's metadata, discovering drafts, or identifying the working group and recent meetings behind a specification. It is read-only, so it suits lookup rather than standards authoring.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process installed from the npm package ietf-mcp (Node.js). No API key or authentication is needed; it relies on the public IETF Datatracker API, so network access is required.
Before you install
Read-only and keyless: it does not submit drafts, edit working-group records, or perform standards actions. Queries go to the public Datatracker API, so search terms and document names are sent to that third party.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Ietf Mcp 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.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Score

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.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    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.
