What the publisher says

From the Ietf repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

ietf-mcp

A focused MCP interface to the IETF Datatracker for protocol research, RFC lookup, Internet-Draft discovery, working-group context, and meeting history.

get_document: look up a document by name such as rfc9110.
searchworkinggroups: find IETF working groups by name.
