🔧 Technical Details

This server implements two main components:

1. RFC Service: Responsible for fetching, parsing, and data extraction of RFC documents.
2. MCP Server: Implements the MCP protocol and exposes tools and resources.

The RFC service supports both HTML and TXT formats of RFCs, preferring the HTML format for better structuring. If the HTML format fails, it falls back to the TXT format.
