Mcp Rfc Editor
This server wraps the rfc-editor Python library to let you manipulate RFC documents directly through MCP tools. You get session-based editing so you can download an RFC by ID, modify its title, abstract, authors, and sections, then save it back to TXT format without passing the full document around between calls. The workflow is straightforward: load or create a document to get a session ID, then use that ID to list sections, add new ones, update content, or set metadata like copyright notices. Reach for this when you need to programmatically edit RFC documents as part of a larger workflow, whether you're updating existing RFCs or drafting new ones from scratch.
