## Description

Standards Finder provides comprehensive access to IETF RFCs, Internet Drafts, and OpenID Foundation specifications through a zero-dependency Python MCP server that uses only standard library components. Built by identitymonk as an extension of mjpitz/mcp-rfc, it offers 9 tools for fetching documents, searching by keyword, extracting specific sections, and retrieving complete working group document collections with automatic version detection and smart filtering of expired drafts. The implementation supports both stdio and HTTP transport modes, includes intelligent caching and progress notifications, and features enhanced parsing capabilities for multiple document formats, making it valuable for developers researching web standards, security protocols, authentication specifications, or building applications that need access to authoritative technical documentation from standards bodies.
