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:

# 1. Download an RFC - returns Session ID result = 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 persisted set_title(session_id="abc-123", title="New Title")

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