Connects Claude to the IETF Datatracker API for browsing RFCs, internet drafts, working groups, and contributor profiles. You get six tools: pull specific RFCs by number, fetch any document by name (like draft-ietf-quic-transport), search across documents, look up working groups by acronym, list all working groups, and retrieve person records. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, which means you can either use this standalone endpoint or access it through their unified gateway alongside 250+ other data sources. Useful when you're researching standards, tracking draft progression, or need to reference protocol specifications without leaving your editor.
IETF Datatracker MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ietf-datatracker": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ietf-datatracker/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Ietf Datatracker data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
