Connects Claude to the IETF RFC Editor archive with full text retrieval, metadata lookups, errata queries, and BCP/STD document mappings. Runs through Pipeworx's hosted gateway, so you can ask natural language questions via ask_pipeworx instead of calling tools directly. Useful when you're researching protocol specs, checking official standards documents, tracking RFC status changes, or need to verify technical details from authoritative internet standards. The gateway handles tool selection and argument mapping, which saves you from manually constructing RFC numbers and search parameters. Part of a larger 250+ data source collection, but works standalone if you only need RFC access.
RFC Editor MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"rfc-editor": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/rfc-editor/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 Rfc Editor data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
